The problem of choosing colors for data visualization is expressed by this quote from information visualization guru Edward Tufte: " … avoiding catastrophe becomes the first principle in bringing color to information: Above all, do no harm. " Color used well can enhance and clarify a presentation. Color used poorly will obscure, muddle and confuse. While there is a strong aesthetic component to...

Black locust is an interesting option for biomass production at sites prone to water shortage because the species combines water-use efficiency and a yield largely superior that of poplars under conditions study. (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) tree woody production. However, its potential this purpose has been much less studied characterized than from Salicaceae family (i.e., poplar willow). The obj...

Various issues pertaining to artificial reforestation using coniferous planting stock are presented in the question/answer format. The discussed topics include: planting into organic soil substrates, microsite selection, planting depth, and closing the planting hole. These topics are viewed in the context of different site-related or climate-associated factors that may limit the successful esta...

Molasses is a significant by-product of sugar beet or sugar cane refining industry. In this work, the effects of storage temperature and packaging on the contents of free amino acids (AAs) in sugar beet and sugar cane molasses after freeze drying were inquired. The effect of different variables such as, temperature (4 and 25˚C) and light (Metallized polypropylene container and Normal polypropyl...

Fine-scale interference fringes that decorate caustics produced with white light appear black and white with high contrast. This is surprising, as the elementary expectation, supported by theory and computer simulation, is that the fringes should be highly colored. The fringe separation is several arc minutes and therefore close to the resolution limit of the eye. Under magnification (even of a...

This work presents a novel way of generating color differences for synthesizing artistically screened color images. A single color is specified by interacting with the mouse alternately on a constant luminance plane and on a constant hue plane within the LEF color space (the orthogonal space formed by the RGB cube's black-white axis (L) and by its E and F chrominance axes). By interactively sel...
