The Far Eastern sea cucumber, Stichopus japonicus, is a favored food in Eastern Asia, including Korea, Japan, and China. Aquaculture production of this species has increased because of recent declines in natural stocks and government-operated stock release programs are ongoing. Therefore, the analyses of genetic structure in wild and hatchery populations are necessary to maintain the genetic di...

Procedure-To 1 cc. of the solution to be tested 2 cc. of the reagent are added in test-tubes of uniform size. The reagent consists of 800 mg. of diphenylamine (commercial preparation recrystallized from 70 per cent alcohol) in 80 cc. of glacial acetic acid (Baker’s Special for Shellac Analysis)’ and 0.55 cc. of sulfuric acid (c.P., Nand As-free). The mixture is shaken vigorously, and then the t...

Lateral chromatic aberration (CA) of color cameras has great effects on the imaging quality. This paper presents a novel method to full-field calibrate lateral CA between color channels by using unwrapped phase data. Closed circle sinusoidal fringe patterns having the optimum three-fringe numbers are generated and displayed on a liquid crystal screen consecutively through red, green and blue ch...

Although most demosaicking methods assume the existence of high local correlation in estimating the missing color components, such an assumption may fail for images with high color saturation and sharp color transitions. This paper presents a demosaicking scheme by exploiting both the variance of color differences (VCD) and the non-local similarity. First, the missing green components are estim...

PURPOSE In the authors' experience, the color of silicone elastomer following polymerization in molds made of gypsum products is slightly different from the color that was matched in the presence of the patient, before the silicone is packed. It is hypothesized that the investing materials and separating media have an effect on the color during the polymerization process of the silicone. MATE...

The spatial arrangement of L and M cones in the human peripheral retina was estimated from red-green color naming of small test flashes (0.86 min of arc, 555 nm, constant intensity) presented at different locations (grid with 1.5 min of arc steps) centered at 17 degrees temporal eccentricity. Simulated red-green color naming ratings were generated by a model based on an ideal observer for all p...

Field assays were performed to determine the optimal color for Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) traps. Previous studies have found that more A. planipennis are caught on purple or green traps than traps of other colors. In three studies, we evaluated various shades of purple, wavelengths of green (500-570 nm), and greens of different reflectance (from 9 to 66%). In all te...

the purpose of this study was to develop sunless tanning cosmetic creams from green coffee beans. chlorogenic acid, which was extracted from green coffee beans, performed the change of the color of keratin in stratum corneum, used as active ingredient in the formulation. extracted chlorogenic acid from green coffee beans were incorporated into four cosmetic cream bases, and then the tanning eff...
