Spectral stimuli form a physical continuum, which humans divide into discrete non-overlapping regions or categories that are designated by colour names. Little is known about whether non-verbal animals form categories on stimulus continua, but work in psychology and artificial intelligence provides models for stimulus generalization and categorization. We compare predictions of such models to t...

Chemical analysis of a visually opaque, turquoise-blue ingot from the Late Bronze Age royal capital at Amarna, housed in Garstang Museum, University Liverpool, shows an excess copper colourant which indicates that intended colour was opaque red. Trace element places location manufacture Egypt, and date, finds location, dimensions suggest glass made Amarna. This, coupled with other recent ingots...

Reichard et al. introduce the turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri), notable for its short-life span and diapause stage.

Color-grapheme synesthetes automatically perceive achromatic numbers as colored (e.g., 7 is turquoise). Up until recently, synesthesia was believed to be unidirectional. For instance, the number 7 gives rise to the percept of turquoise but the perception of turquoise does not trigger the number 7. However, some recent studies argue for bidirectional connections Cohen Kadosh et al., 2005; Johnso...

Azul turquesa 15 (AT15) é um corante reativo amplamente utilizado na indústria têxtil para colorir fibras naturais. A presença destes corantes no efluente e rejeito industrial é de considerável interesse devido a problemas ecotoxicológicos e ambientais. A redução eletroquímica deste corante foi investigada em solução aquosa usando voltametria cíclica, eletrólise em potencial controlado e voltam...

This study measures the influence of pH and polyaluminium chloride (PAC) dosage on the effectiveness of reactive dyes removal. Experiments were carried out for turquoise DG, red DB-8, orange OGR and black DN. The pH was changed from 3.5 to 7.0 and the dosages of PAC from 0.3 to 4.0 mg Al/mg dye. The degree of dyes removal depended on pH and dosage of coagulant. In the pH range from 4.0 to 5.5 t...

Kinship is central to an understanding of sociopolitical organization and the organization of production in Chaco Canyon. Between A.D. 700 and 900, lifeways in the Chacoan wor7ld underwent a transformation that reflects the evolution of matrilocal residence. Matrilocal groups became the foundation of a polity based on a corporate political strategy. Matrilocality provided the peoples of the Cha...

Dye-house water quality is the most important parameter to be confirmed before dyeing; precisely the presence of metal content i.e. Hardness. This research will investigate & analyses the impact of separate hardness (i.e. Calcium, Magnesium & Iron) on particular „Turquoise‟ (C.I. Reactive Blue 21) & a „High Exhaustion‟ class (C.I. HE Red 120, C.I. HE Yellow 84) of Reactive dye on cotton knitted...
