According to colour irrealism, material objects do not have colour; they only appear to have colour. The appeal of this view, prominent among philosophers and scientists alike, stems in large part from the conviction that scientific explanations of colour facts do not ascribe colour to material objects. To explain why objects appear to have colour, for instance, we need only appeal to surface r...

Functionality of Marve seed gum (Salvia Macrosiphon Boiss) on rheological properties and staling of Baguette bread have been studied. Three different concentrations of 0.1 %, 0.5% and 1% (w/w, flour basis) were applied and this hydrocolloid affected the quality of the stored bread to some extent. The effects of Marve seed gum on the rheological properties of dough was also investigated instrume...

In this research we described the effective Hamiltonian theory and applied this theory to the calculation of current-current (Q1,2) and QCD penguin (Q3,…,6) c quark decay rates. We calculated the decay rates of semileptonic and hadronic of charm quark in the effective Hamiltonian theory. We investigated the decay rates of D meson decays according to Spectator Quark Model (SQM) for the calculati...

A colour quantization technique is presented which maps 24-bit colour images to 8bit colour, using Self-Organizing Neural Networks. The quantized image is superior to that produced by existing methods, and has useful continuity properties.

Selecting harmonious colours for traditional window systems can be a difficult and frustrating endeavor. At the root of this problem is the fact that typical window systems do not allow abstract properties of colours to be specified. Instead, they insist that users specify individual colour values exactly. When many colours are used, the value of each colour must be chosen to satisfy any relati...

The aim of this work was to investigate how efficiently colour information is distributed, in a least-redundancy sense, across the variables of a colour space, and how this distribution varies across different colour spaces. It was found that among the physiological and psychophysical colour spaces tested, Derrington-Krauskopf-Lennie space was the most efficient, although this result is conting...
