While much attention has been given to understanding biases in gloss perception (e.g., changes perceived reflectance as a function of lighting, shape, viewpoint, and other factors), here we investigated sensitivity surface reflectance. We tested how visual differences specular varies the magnitude Stimuli consisted renderings glossy objects under natural illumination. Using maximum likelihood d...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of blended learning and multimedia software on Iranian ESP students' vocabulary learning. To this end, 120 Iranian ESP learners were assigned to two groups: the experimental and control groups. The experimental group received instructions through multimedia software while the control group received traditional instructions. The data were c...

To investigate the effects of different glossing conventions on vocabulary recognition and recall, 158 participants were given a pre-test to make sure that they did not have any prior knowledge of the target words. Reading passages with four different glossing conventions (interlinear, marginal, pre-text, and post-text) were given to eight groups. Four groups received interlingual glosses and f...

A high spatial resolution imaging colorimeter and glossmeter is presented. The combination of a high quality imaging colorimeter with an off axis imaging optics and a highly stabilized RGB LED source allows color and gloss measurements of small parts with high accuracy. The characteristics of the system with some experimental results on black coated and printed papers are presented. Introductio...

Predicting the final appearance of a print is crucial in graphic industry. The aim this work to build mathematical model predict visual gloss 2D printed samples. We conducted psychophysical experiment where observers judged samples with different colours and values. For experiment, new reference scale was built. Using results from prediction for assessment has been developed. By using Principal...

In this study, we investigated the color, gloss and surface roughness of bamboo (Phyllostachys bambusoides) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) samples impregnated with boron and copper based preservatives during accelerated weathering from 168 h to 672 h. Tanalith-E, ACQ, wolmanit-CB were used as copper-based chemicals, while a mixture of boric acid and borax (7:3; w/w) was used as the boron com...
