Abstract:
... Plant–pollinator interactions provide a natural experiment in signal evolution. Flowers are known to have evolved colour signals that maximise their ease of detection by the visual systems of important pollinators such as bees. Whilst most angiosperms are bee pollinated, our understanding on how the second largest group of pollinating insects, flies, may influence flower colour evolution is limite ...

Abstract:
... Flower and fruit color is one of the most important features of horticultural plants. Its formation and regulation are always affected by both internal and external factors. Among these factors, the UDP-glucose: flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase (UFGTs) have a major role in the development and production of flowers and fruits colors. The UFGT enzymes are critical for upholding anthocyanin synthesi ...

Abstract:
... In this study, optical multispectral sensors based on perovskite semiconductors have been proposed, simulated, and characterized. The perovskite material system combined with the 3D vertical integration of the sensor channels allow for realizing sensors with high sensitivities and a high spectral resolution. The sensors can be applied in several emerging areas, including biomedical imaging, survei ...
... The current color difference online detection algorithm has poor real-time performance. The noise affects color difference monitoring and sampling detection results are different from online detection. Therefore, a color difference online detection algorithm is studied. Firstly, the Flat Field and Perfect Reflector Method (PRM) are used to correct the color illumination uniformity of warp knitted ...
... Color and emotion are metaphorically associated in the human mind. This color–emotion association affects perceptual judgment. For example, stimuli representing colors can affect judgment of facial expressions. The present study examined whether colors associated with happiness (e.g., yellow) and sadness (e.g., blue and gray) facilitate judgments of the associated emotions in facial expressions. W ...
... Every day we mentally process new information that needs to be attended, encoded and retrieved. Processing demands depend on the amount of information and the mental attentional capacity of the individual. Research shows that eye movement indices such as peak saccade velocity and blink rate are related to processes of attentional control, however it is still unclear how eye movements are affected ...
... Critical decision systems require expeditious and accurate responses to the displayed information. In addition to content, location and background are equally important. Several visual search studies have pointed out the differences and compared modes of top-down attention allocation: distractor suppression and attentional capture. Previous studies have used color (mainly) and shape as a feature b ...

Abstract:
... Flower color is one of the most important traits in ornamental plants. Color fading due to the loss of anthocyanins is a common phenomenon during the flowering process. Here, an R2R3-MYB gene CmMYB21, which was up-regulated in petals during flower color fading process, was isolated from a chrysanthemum cultivar ‘Anastasia Pink’ and functionally characterized. The CmMYB21 protein belonging to subgr ...
... Optical anti-counterfeiting and encryption have become a hotspot in information security. However, the advanced optical anti-counterfeiting technology still suffers from low security by single-luminescent mode. Herein, we present a novel multi-mode anti-counterfeiting strategy based on K₃LuSi₂O₇: Tb³⁺/Bi³⁺ (KLSO: Tb³⁺/Bi³⁺) phosphors for the first time. KLSO not only provides various lattice sites ...
... The European mole Talpa europaea Linnaeus, 1758 is a quite common species in Central Italy. I report the first Isabelline individual of this species recorded in the scientific literature. Actually, this species is quite widespread throughout Europe, but coat-colouration anomalies have never been described in Central Italian mole populations. Further research is therefore needed to determine the pe ...
... Previous research has shown that people rely on color expectations to guide the visual search for flavor labels. We report two experiments designed to examine how the violation of such expectations influenced the subsequent searches. Participants were cued by a flavor word before searching for the packaging with this flavor label. They were slower to find the target whose color violated their expe ...
... Plasmonic metasurfaces based on the extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) effect can be designed to efficiently transmit specific spectral bands from the visible to the far-infrared regimes, offering numerous applications in important technological fields such as compact multispectral imaging, biological and chemical sensing, or color displays. However, due to their subwavelength nature, EOT me ...
... This paper provides an in-depth review of the natural colourants covering their classifications, sources, extraction techniques, application techniques in relation to different textile fibres and their advantages and challenges. The academic readers will find here an overview of the latest developments in extraction and application techniques of a variety of natural colourants. Almost all commerci ...
... An update to the previously published low resolution thermal imaging dataset is presented in this paper. The new dataset contains high resolution thermal images corresponding to various hand gestures captured using the FLIR Lepton 3.5 thermal camera and Purethermal 2 breakout board. The resolution of the camera is 160×120 with calibrated array of 19,200 pixels. The images captured by the thermal c ...

Abstract:
... We examined ingestion and retention rates of microplastics (MPs) by two freshwater (Japanese medaka and zebrafish) and two marine fish species (Indian medaka and clown anemonefish) to determine their color preferences and gastrointestinal-tract retention times. In our ingestion experiments, clown anemonefish ingested the most MP particles, followed by zebrafish, and then Japanese and Indian medaka ...
... The detection of X-rays has always been a frontier of scientific research. An Eu-MOF with both X-ray-induced photochromic and scintillation properties has been synthesized through the combination of a photochromism-active viologen ligand and rare earth Eu element with high-efficiency absorption of X-rays. In a bright environment, Eu-MOF exhibits different color changes under high-energy X-rays and ...
... Neural networks have been widely used in color space conversion in the digital printing process. The shallow neural network easily obtains the local optimal solution when establishing multi-dimensional nonlinear mapping. In this paper, an improved high-precision deep belief network (DBN) algorithm is proposed to achieve the color space conversion from CMYK to L*a*b*. First, the PANTONE TCX color c ...
... Early detection is one of the ways to deal with DNA virus widespread prevalence, and it is necessary to know new diagnostic methods and techniques. Colorimetric assays are one of the most advantageous methods in detecting viruses. These methods are based on color change, which can be seen either with the naked eye or with special devices. The aim of this study is to introduce and evaluate effectiv ...
