BACKGROUND Non-Newtonian fluids occur in many relevant flow and mixing scenarios at the lab and industrial scale. The addition of acid or basic solutions to a non-Newtonian fluid is not an infrequent operation, particularly in Biotechnology applications where the pH of Non-Newtonian culture broths is usually regulated using this strategy. METHODOLOGY AND FINDINGS We conducted mixing experimen...

Chao is a typical Indonesian dish from Pangkep Regency that relatively unknown to the general public. made fermented fish, which subsequently with rice. has properties of pasta-like, light-brown color, unique flavor, slightly acidic and salty taste. communities typically use chao as seasoning, condiment ingredient, or side dish. Due product's attractive features, resemble stale food, make it le...

Two observational tests were designed to investigate the influence of consumer decisions during preparation French fries from fresh potatoes on acrylamide formation. In both tests, color was paramount importance volunteers with regards decision stop frying process. CIE-Lab* parameters and visual assessments associated general content its classification according EU benchmark levels (BL, 500 ?g/...

©2004, IS&T—The Society for Imaging Science and Technology classified into scalar error diffusion methods and vector error diffusion methods depending on the correlation among the CMY color channels. For scalar error diffusion using CMY separation, only a monochromatic version is processed for each color channel in the color image. Thereafter, the halftoned channels are recombined according to ...

Printing with custom inks is useful for extending the gamut of printed images, for creating artistically appealing designs or for providing protection against counterfeiting (security documents). The basic colors we consider, consist of the custom inks, their superpositions and the white paper. Color separation for custom inks requires to determine the relative amounts of the basic colors allow...

Background The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the color stability of CAD/CAM Zirconia ceramics following exposure to acidic drink (Coca Cola) and after exposure to staining solution (coffee). Material and Methods All the samples were immersed in different staining solutions over a 28-day test period. A colorimetric evaluation according to the CIE L*a*b* system was performed by a b...

Recent studies have documented that a diverse assemblage of bacteria is present on the feathers of wild birds and that uropygial oil affects these bacteria in diverse ways. These findings suggest that birds may regulate the microbial flora on their feathers. Birds may directly inhibit the growth of harmful microbes or promote the growth of other harmless microbes that competitively exclude them...

For the last two decades, several Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems have been developed with the aim of aiding dermatologists to classify Pigmented Skin Lesions (PSL). The majority of these systems usually rely on shape-, colorand texture-based features to classify the lesions. Even though some systems have already achieved good results, the ideal set of features, to be extracted from the ...

Vehicle color information is one of the important elements in ITS (Intelligent Traffic System). In this paper, we present a vehicle color recognition method using convolutional neural network (CNN). Naturally, CNN is designed to learn classification method based on shape information, but we proved that CNN can also learn classification based on color distribution. In our method, we convert the ...

ABSTRACT This article discusses the origins, metrics, and methods of UCLA’s Race, Ethnicity, Politics & Society Lab, which trains cadres undergraduate researchers, many whom are students color. The focuses intently on connections between professionalization researchers production greater intellectual, racial, gender diversity in a university setting. also provides blueprint to steer toward ...
