Poultry by-products and rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) viscera are abundant and underutilized resources that can be used as a unique protein source to make protein hydrolysates. In this study protein hydrolysate were made from these two different sources with Alcalase 2.4L. The functional properties of Fish viscera protein hydrolysate (FPH) compared to poultry by-products protein hydrolys...

The communication of affect, a feeling or emotion, is central to creating engaging visual experiences. We report research into how different colour properties (lightness, chroma and hue) contribute to different affective impressions in information visualization applications. Our results provide initial evidence that colour properties can be manipulated to achieve affective expressiveness in inf...

Ten colour emotional scales, namely, "Warm Cool", "Active-Passive", "Like-Dislike", "Clean-Dirty", "Fresh-Stale", "Modern-Classical", "Heavy-Light", "Hard- Soft", "Tense-Relaxed", and "Masculine-Feminine"are investigated for single-colour stimuli in CIELAB colour space within a psychophysical experiment by forty observers. The relationships between Iranian colour emotional responses and CIELAB ...

The goal of the work reported in this dissertation is to develop methods for the acquisition and reproduction of high quality digital colour images. To reach this goal it is necessary to understand and control the way in which the different devices involved in the entire colour imaging chain treat colours. Therefore we addressed the problem of colorimetric characterisation of scanners and print...

Analysis of colour images in the Red, Green and Blue acquisition space and in the intensity and chrominance spaces shows that colour components are closely correlated (Carron, Ph.D. Thesis, Univ. Savoie, France, 1995; Ocadis, Ph.D. Thesis, Univ. Grenoble, France, 1985). These have to be decorrelated so that each component of the colour image can be studied separately. The Karhunen}Loève transfo...

64 INTERNATIONAL DENTISTRY SA VOL. 12, NO. 2 Although colour as an entity should be regarded as being only one of the many building blocks necessary in the achievement of an aesthetic restorative result, a discordant colour scheme can probably be more devastating to the overall effect than many of the other factors present. It is for this reason that so much time, research and expense has gone ...

This paper points out that achievements in the field of multimedia analysis and retrieval represent an important opportunity for improvement of recommender system mechanisms. Online shopping systems use various recommender systems; however a study of different approaches has shown that they do not exploit the potential of information carried by multimedia product data for product recommendation...

A cellular model of the primate retina has been developed. Unlike existing models, it incorporates spatial non-uniformities, such as the random arrangement of L and M cones, and the radial dilation with eccentricity. Based on a population of ganglion cell activities, colour-image representation is modelled with the luminance and the R-G opponent channels. The developed model reproduces experime...

We provide novel evidence for a two-stage model of visual search applied to the selection based on top-down cues to stimulus colour and orientation. The model supposes that visual displays are first parsed into colour based groups, a process that is modulated by the presence of an initial cue to the target's colour. Subsequently search is directed to other featural properties represented within...
