This study focuses on analyzing the changes to aerosol properties caused by the dust storm called “China’s Great Wall of Dust” that originated from the Taklimakan Desert in April 2014. IDDI (Infrared Difference Dust Index) images from FY-2E and true color composite images from FY-3C MERSI (Medium Resolution Spectral Imager) show the breakout and transport path of the dust storm. Three-hourly gr...

An ongoing web-based color naming experiment has collected a small number of unconstrained color names from a large number of observers. This has resulted in a large database of color names for a coarse sampling of red, green and blue display values. This paper builds on a previous paper, that demonstrated the close agreement for this technique to earlier results for the basic colors, and prese...

Grapheme-color synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon in which letters and numbers (graphemes) consistently evoke particular colors (e.g., A may be experienced as red). These sensations are thought to arise through the cross-activation of grapheme processing regions in the fusiform gyrus and color area V4, supported by anatomical and functional imaging. However, the developmental onset of gra...

BACKGROUND/AIM Color matching in prosthodontic therapy is a very important task because it influences the esthetic value of dental restorations. Visual shade matching represents the most frequently applied method in clinical practice. Instrumental measurements provide objective and quantified data in color assessment of natural teeth and restorations. In instrumental shade analysis, the goal is...

Categorical perception (CP) of color is the faster and more accurate discrimination of two colors from different categories than two colors from the same category, even when same- and different-category chromatic separations are equated. In adults, color CP is lateralized to the left hemisphere (LH), whereas in infants, it is lateralized to the right hemisphere (RH). There is evidence that the ...

Pistachio powder is a product used today in confectionery, ice cream, pistachio paste and other foods. Considering the higher rate of spoilage and oxidation in pistachio powder, developing methods to increase the shelf-life of this product is therefore important. In this study the effect of  freezing and vacuum packaging on the quality characteristics of pistachio powder during storage was inve...

Usually, paintings are more appealing than photographic images. This is because paintings have styles. This style can be distinguished by looking at elements such as motif, color, shape deformation and brush texture. In our work, we focus on the effect of “color” element and devise a method for transforming the color of an input photograph according to a reference painting. To do this, we consi...

To restore a tooth to its functional health, four basic determinants of dental esthetics; position, contour, texture and colour in the said sequence are required. Clark1 said, “Color, like form, has three dimensions, Hue, Value, and Chroma. An understanding of the science of color and color perception is crucial to success in the ever-expanding field of esthetic restorative dentistry. It is pos...

The boundaries of oral lesions in color images were detected using a live-wire method and compared to expert delineations. Multiple cost terms were analyzed for their inclusion in the final total cost function including color gradient magnitude, color gradient direction, Canny edge detection, and Laplacian zero crossing. The gradient magnitude and direction cost terms were implemented so that t...

     Lipases catalyze hydrolysis and synthesis of triacylglycerols. These enzymes,especially the microbial ones, have wide commercial and industrial usage. Bacillus subtilis <span style="color: ...
