The objective of this project is to establish a practical application of the concept of Color Universal Design (CUD), the design that is recognizable to all color vision types. In our research, we looked for a clearly distinguishable combination of hues of four colors – black, red, green, and blue – which are frequently used in these circumstances. Red-green confusion people do not confuse all ...

This focused collection of papers is devoted to recent developments in ‘green chemistry’, especially the applications of catalytic methods, involving both chemoand biocatalysis. The development of catalytic processes is an important current theme in organic chemistry, since it aims to reduce the environmental impact of the industrial synthesis of chemicals and polymers by replacing stoichiometr...

At present, green plants exist in all aspects of our lives. And statistics shows that the pest species of green plants is very large. Thus accurate and rapid diagnosis is regarded as an essential component of green plant protection. Moreover, we couldn’t find relevant information easily. That is why pest diagnosis is difficult and inefficient for technicians and farmers. In view of the above, t...

This paper reports on progress of the OECD project on Green Growth and Eco-Innovation, in the area of business model development for radical and systemic eco-innovation. The outcomes from this workshop will be fed into a final report which is expected to be completed by the summer of 2012.

What follows is a summary of remarks presented by panelists participating in a workshop entitled, “What Green Chemistry Means to Workers.” The session examined the connection between green jobs—including those connected to the emerging field of green chemistry—and occupational, public, and environmental health. It was coordinated by Paul Renner, associate director of the Labor Institute, in col...

In a first step toward understanding the molecular basis of pineapple fruit development, a sequencing project was initiated to survey a range of expressed sequences from green unripe and yellow ripe fruit tissue. A highly abundant metallothionein transcript was identified during library construction, and was estimated to account for up to 50% of all EST library clones. Library clones with metal...

BACKGROUND Indocyanine green angiography has gained popularity in breast reconstruction for its ability to assess mastectomy skin and tissue flap viability. The authors aim to analyze trends and outcomes associated with indocyanine green angiography use in breast reconstruction. METHODS Using 2012 to 2014 data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project National Inpatient Sample, Agency ...
