Physical and chemical changes can degrade the visual color appearance of old paintings. Five digital color restoration techniques, which can be used to simulate the original appearance of paintings, are presented. Although a small number of color samples is employed in the restoration procedure, simulation results indicate that good restoration quality can be attained.

salicylic acid (sa) is considered to be plant signal molecule that plays a key role in plant growth, development, and defense responses. the physiological mechanism of exogenous sa to affect the senescence of cut lisianthus flowers during vase life was investigated. fresh cut lisianthus flowers were treated with distilled water (control), 0.5, 1 and 2 mm sa and then held at 25◦c up to 12 days. ...

Similarly, a vase has a definite height, but its width may vary, reflecting a certain pattern that often marks a particular style. ...
