Modelling of Mineral Mixture Reflectance Spectra
Introduction In the forthcoming years, high spectral resolution imaging spectroscopy in the visible/near-infrared range will be used to obtain compositional information for planetary surfaces (especially for Mars surface with the space missions Mars Express and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter). Deconvolving a reflectance spectrum to mineral abundance in an umabiguous way is difficult, because the s...
متن کاملStructural coloured feathers of mallards act by simple multilayer photonics.
The blue colours of the speculum of the mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), both male and female, and the green head feathers of the male arise from light interacting with stacks of melanosomes residing in the feather barbules. Here, we show that the iridescent colours can be quantitatively explained with an optical multilayer model by using a position-dependent effective refractive index, which resu...
متن کاملIridescent structural colour production in male blue-black grassquit feather barbules: the role of keratin and melanin.
Iridescent coloration plays an important role in the visual communication system of many animal taxa. It is known that iridescent structural colours result from layers of materials with different refractive indexes, which in feathers usually are keratin, melanin and air. However, the role of these materials in the production of structural iridescent coloration is still poorly documented. Despit...
متن کاملthe effect of planning time on the oral performance of iranian male and female efl learners بررسی تاثیر فرصت تمهید بر عملکرد گفتاری زبان آموزان با جنسیت متفاوت
چکیده برای دو دهه مطالعات بر روی فرصت تمهید و نقش آن در عملکرد گفتاری زبان آموزان نشان داده است که فرصت برای تمهید جهت انجام کار ((task عموما گفتار فراگیران را بهبود می بخشد (ellis, 2005). فرض بر این است که فرصت تمهید بار ذهنی را در خلال پردازش زبانی کاهش داده و به فراگیران اجازه میدهد تا به جنبه های مختلف زبان توجه کنند و این توجه تسهیل شده در عوض منتج به عملکرد کار موفق تر میشود. پژوهشگرا...
15 صفحه اولNanostructural self-assembly of iridescent feather barbules through depletion attraction of melanosomes during keratinization.
Avian plumage colours are model traits in understanding the evolution of sexually selected ornamental traits. Paradoxically, iridescent structural colours, probably the most dazzling of these traits, remain the most poorly understood. Though some data suggest that expression of bright iridescent plumage colours produced by highly ordered arrays of melanosomes and keratin is condition-dependent,...
