Food waste hampers global food security, rational use of resources and environmental sustainability. is becoming a problem, especially on restaurants, it particularly important to explore more effective measures reduce waste. Color psychology studies show that color can influence human behavior, but how colors may affect consumer behavior has not been thoroughly investigated date. In this study...

The dogwhelk Nucella lapillus is a rocky intertidal gastropod of the North Atlantic coast. Individual shell color varies. Common colors range between white and brown, with darker dogwhelks being more affected by heat stress than lighter-colored conspecifics. Other reported shell colors are black, mauve, pink, yellow, and orange from European coasts, red and grey from the Bay of Fundy coast of N...

We identify seven new ultracool white dwarfs discovered in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The SDSS photometry, spectra, and proper motions are presented, and additional BVRI data are given for these and other previously discovered ultracool white dwarfs. The observed colors span a remarkably wide range, qualitatively similar to colors predicted by models for very cool white dwarfs. One of...

Millimeter (CO) observations of 5 double-nucleus ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIG) mergers are presented. With nuclear separations of 3 − 5 kpc, these galaxies are in the “intermediate” stages of the merger process. A preliminary comparison of the distribution of molecular gas (the likely fuel source for both starbursts and active galactic nuclei: AGN) shows a tendency for molecular gas to b...

Cover illustration. Notothenioid fishes lack swim bladders, but species live temporarily or permanently in the water column. Without swim bladder, skeletal mass becomes a key determinant of buoyancy. In this issue of the Journal of Morphology, Joseph Eastman and coauthors (pp. 841-861 10.1002/jmor.20258) quantify the degree of skeletal ossification in notothenioid fish and discuss it in phyloge...

Combined surface, structural and opto-electrical investigations are drawn from the chemically fashioned ZnO nanotubes and its heterostructure with p-GaN film. A strong correlation has been found between the formation of radiative surface defect states in the nanotubes and the pure cool white light possessing averaged eight color rendering index value of 96 with appropriate color temperature. Hi...

With the growing consumption market of yogurt products, continuous innovation packaging design has become major means enterprise marketing for fast-moving consumer goods. Because different combinations elements affect consumers in ways, contradiction between product and demand impacted further development these products’ marketing. To explore relationship constituent preferences, four kinds fac...

Microlensing events observed in the line of sight toward the LMC indicate that a significant fraction of the mass of the dark halo of the Galaxy is probably composed of white dwarfs. In addition, white dwarf sequences have now be observed in the HR diagrams of several globular clusters. Because of the unavailability of white dwarf atmospheres for Teff < 4000K, cooling time scales for white dwar...

We present a new census of the Orion Nebula Cluster over a large field of view ( 30′ × 30′), significantly increasing the known population of stellar and substellar cluster members with precisely determined properties. We develop and exploit a technique to determine stellar effective temperatures from optical colors, nearly doubling the previously available number of objects with effective temp...
