An expression-induction model was used to simulate the evolution of basic color terms to test Berlin and Kay's (1969) hypothesis that the typological patterns observed in basic color term systems are produced by a process of cultural evolution under the influence of biases resulting from the special properties of universal focal colors. Ten agents were simulated, each of which could learn color...

Proportional-share scheduling has been investigated by many researchers including: Wald-spurger et. al. at MIT and by Stoica et. al. at Old Dominion University. This work, however, suuers from high overhead and limited scalability problems when applied to a distributed system. This paper presents an alternative approach to proportion-share scheduling, which overcomes these problems. Our system ...

This paper outlines the various stages of operations involved in the conversion of a manually operated color plants towards a fully automated color making plant. Over the years the demand for high quality, greater efficiency and quantity has increased in this globalized world for various colors. The initial phase of the design focuses on passing the inputs of color mixing and making process wit...

objectives: this study aimed to evaluate the effects of chlorhexidine mouthrinses on color stability of nanofilled and micro-hybrid resin-based composites. materials and methods: in this in-vitro study, 160 disc-shaped specimens (7x2mm) were fabricated of filtek z250 and filtek z350xt enamel (a2 shade). the samples of each group were randomly divided into eight subgroups (n=10). the specimens w...

The tremendous diversity in flower color among angiosperms implies that there have been numerous evolutionary transitions in this character. The conventional wisdom is that a large proportion of these transitions reflect adaptation to novel pollinator regimes. By contrast, recent research suggests that many of these transitions may instead have been driven by selection imposed by nonpollinator ...

conclusions the findings of this study indicate that older children are more proficient in comprehension of color words compared to younger children, and girls are more proficient than boys. the two easiest and two most difficult color words for children to comprehend within the 3 age groups were “black” and “red” and “phosphoric-green” and “turquoise-blue,” respectively. there was a positive r...

  Background: The breeding performance is an important parameter to evaluate the breeding success in captive condition. The optimum hormone dose in combination with latency period is desirable for getting best breeding performance in fish. Objectives: <span style="color: win...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect proportions rice flour and black taro on characteristics noodle (kwetiau). Kwetiau were produced by blending various (100:0; 75:25; 50:50; 25:75; 0;100) which evaluated for water content, texture, cooking quality color. results indicated that proportion affects quality, texture color kwetiau (p&lt;0,01). Black addition with decreased time,...

in this experiment, a total of 128 hy-line w36 hens at 63 weeks of age were used. the hens were put at random into 4 treatment groups (4 replicates and 32 hens per treatment) and were fed four different diets: three diets with different levels of spirulina (1.5, 2.0 and 2.5%) and one control group based on wheat and soybean meal. all birds were housed in commercial cages, had ad libitum access ...
