In this paper, the effect of lightness on blackness preference of 216 black fabrics prepared by printing method is investigated. 18 observers including of 9 males and 9 females are asked to firstly rank order black fabrics with the same lightness values according to their preference. In the next step, observers are asked to define their blackness preference for blacks with different L values. R...

The blackness index of an air sample, measurea by reflectance on an air sample filter, is an indication of the mean darkness of the particles collected on such a medium. As the presence of polycyclic hydrocarbons in air samples is associated with soot or carbon particles, it seemed reasonable to find out if a correlation between these two measurements could be established. The current availabil...

Throughout the course Theatre and Performance 282, we have read discussed Black culture oppression people face every day. We also about music fear of a world after reading that piece, I wanted to take deeper look into music. As society, this bias against but so much our has been shaped by their roots. such strong think in negative way based on stereotypes formed over centuries racism as rarely ...

Surfaces of low reflectance are ubiquitous in animate systems. They form essential components of the visual appearance of most living species and can explicitly influence other biological functions such as thermoregulation. The blackness associated with all opaque surfaces of low reflectivity has until now been attributed to strongly absorbing pigmentation alone. Our present study challenges th...

The present study considers a fuzzy color system in which three input fuzzy sets are constructed on the tone triangle. This system can process a fuzzy input to a tone triangular system and output to a color on the RGB triangular system. Three input fuzzy sets (not black, white, and light) are applied to the tone triangle relationship. By treating three attributes of chromaticness, whiteness, an...
