Empirical evidence suggests that the color red acts like an implicit avoidance cue in food contexts. Thus specific colors seem to guide the implicit evaluation of food items. We built upon this research by investigating the implicit meaning of color (red vs. green) in an approach-avoidance task with healthy and unhealthy food items. Thus, we examined the joint evaluative effects of color and fo...

Acid fuchsin and phloxine B are commonly used to stain plant-parasitic nematodes in roots and egg masses on root surfaces, respectively. Both stains can be harmful to both the user and the environment and require costly waste disposal procedures. We developed safer methods to replace both stains using McCormick Schilling red food color. Eggs, juveniles, and adults of Meloidogyne incognita stain...

Small-field color-naming performance of two protanopes over a 4-log luminance range was impoverished in comparison with that of normal trichromats, and was more strongly affected by changes in luminance. At 200 cd/m2 responses to mid-spectral lights were dominated by 'yellow'; with lowering luminance, 'green' and 'red' were increasingly used. In the color spaces derived from these data the firs...

The aromas and flavours of Cabernet Sauvignon wines originating from Australia are diverse and known to display ‘berry’, ‘current’, ‘vanilla’, ‘fruity’, ‘caramel’, ‘green’ and ‘capsicum’ aromas and ‘blackcurrant’, ‘green capsicum’, ‘vanilla’, ‘mulberry’ and ‘mint’ flavours (Green 2000, Gurbuz et al. 2006). These wine aromas and flavours can range in fruit-related characteristics of ‘berry’, ‘sp...

objective: to study the in vitro color changes of three dental resin veneering materials when immersed in tea, coffee and tamarind extracts. materials and methods: the color changes of heat polymerized tooth colored acrylic resin (stellondetrey, b, f14, dpi dental products of india ltd, mumbai), auto polymerized tooth colored acrylic resin (dpi, b, qv5, dpi dental products of india ltd, mumbai)...

A green photoelectrochemical (PEC) process with simultaneous SO2 removal and H2 production has attracted an increasing attention. The proposed process uses flue gas SO2 to improve H2 production. The improvement of the efficiency of this process is necessary before it can become industrial viable. Herein, we reported a Mo modified BiVO4 photocatalysts for a simultaneous SO2 removal and H2 produc...

Within a computer vision context color naming is the action of assigning linguistic color labels to pixels, regions or objects in images. Humans use color names routinely and seemingly without effort to describe the world around us. They have been primarily studied in the fields of visual psychology, anthropology and linguistics [17]. Color names are for example used in the context of image ret...

Hair color is one of the most visible and heritable traits in humans. Here, we estimated heritability by structural equation modeling (N = 20,142), and performed a genome wide association (GWA) analysis (N = 7091) and a GCTA study (N = 3340) on hair color within a large cohort of twins, their parents and siblings from the Netherlands Twin Register (NTR). Self-reported hair color was analyzed as...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate effects of different sources of natural pigments on yolk color and laying hen performance. a completely randomized design with six treatments and six replicates was used.the six experimental treatments were: a control diet containing yellow corn grain, a reference diet containing wheat and barley grain instead of corn; a red pepper diet composed of refe...

Animal communication through colour signals is a central theme in sexual selection. Structural colours can be just as costly and honest signals as pigment-based colours. Ultraviolet (UV) is a structural colour that can be important both in intrasexual competition and mate choice. However, it is still unknown if a UV signal alone can determine the outcome of male-male fights. European green liza...
