Prior research has shown that stereotypes regarding women's hair color have very real effects. The purpose of the present research was to examine the pervasiveness of stereotypes regarding women's competence and attractiveness in relation to hair color and GPA. Hair color, blond or brunette, and grade point average, high or low, was manipulated. Participants were asked to rate a female graduate...

Recently, significant interest has been attracted by the potential use of aluminum nanostructures as plasmonic color filters to be great alternatives to the commercial color filters based on dye films or pigments. These color filters offer potential applications in LCDs, LEDs, color printing, CMOS image sensors, and multispectral imaging. However, engineering the optical characteristics of thes...

  Background:The dynamic binding capacity (DBC) of a chromatography matrix in protein purification is the amount of the total protein absorbed into the matrix, before occurrence of a significant break in the breakthrough curve. Optimization of the process criteria for maximum DBC avoids extra process scale-up and reduces ...

The monitor and prediction of crop developmental stages, particularly harvest time, play an important role in planning greenhouse cropping programs and timetables by cut rose producers. There have been many scientific reports on the application of image analysis technology in estimating greenhouse crop growth stages. In the present research, we studied leaf color variations over time by taking ...

This paper studies index coding with two senders. In this setup, source messages are distributed among the senders (possibly with overlapping of messages). In addition, there are multiple receivers, where each receiver having some messages a priori, known as side-information, is requesting one unique message such that each message is requested by only one receiver. Index coding in this setup is...

A deeper understanding of the vacuum structure in QCD invites one to rethink certain aspects of the axion physics. The recent advances are mostly due to developments in supersymmetric gauge theories and the brane theory, in which QCD can be embedded. They include, but are not limited to, the studies of metastable vacua in multicolor gluodynamics, and the domain walls. We briefly review basics o...

  Context: In recent years, nanotechnology has opened up several new avenues of extraordinary biomedical potential by modulating metals into their nanosize leading to significant improvement in their chemical, physical and optical properties. Introduction: <span style="color...
