We analyze the phases of dense quark matter at nonzero quark masses. We map out the phase diagrams for charged quark matter as well as charge neutral matter containing leptons. We find that the Color Flavor Locked (CFL) phase is unlikely to ever occur in nature. Various color superconducting meson condensed phases may play a role in neutron star cores, however, in agreement with the analysis of...

In leading twist deep inelastic ep scattering, the virtual photon interaction is fast compared to the time scale of soft color rearrangement. We compare the Pomeron exchange model, in which a neutral cluster is preformed, with a gluon exchange model, in which color is exchanged after the hard interaction. We nd several features of the DIS data and of data on exclusive hard processes that favor ...

acquired color deficiency in the tritan axis in parkinson’s disease has already been reported, manifesting itself as impaired performance in various visual tasks. however, its clinical significance has always been controversial. in this study we evaluated the performance of parkinson s disease patients in lanthony 15-desaturated clinical test and for the first time, compared it with the standar...

In this paper I discuss the magnetic phases of the three-flavor color superconductor. These phases can take place at different field strengths in a highly dense quark system. Given that the best natural candidates for the realization of color superconductivity are the extremely dense cores of neutron stars, which typically have very large magnetic fields, the magnetic phases here discussed coul...

We summarize basic theoretical ideas which let to the observation of the short-range correlations (SRC) in nuclei using hard probes and outline directions for probing quark-gluon structure of SRCs. Implications of the observations of color transparency for processes involving pions are reviewed. Open questions and directions for further studies of color transparency phenomena using hadronic pro...

There is considerable debate as to whether color singletons can capture attention in a stimulus-driven manner. In this study, we explore one potential capture enabling condition – low perceptual load. To test this hypothesis, we manipulated perceptual load in a flanker task in which flanking letters sometimes were color singletons. If low load enhances capture by color singletons, then color si...

Color is an effective and commonly used channel for displaying data in surface visualization. However, color is affected by shadows and shading, which convey depth and shape on surfaces. The human visual system has evolved constancy mechanisms for identifying color under varying illumination conditions. Lightness constancy allows people to accurately perceive colors in real shadows; however, it...

The authors examined preconceptions of taste based on color with a questionnaire administered to 45 college students. The questionnaire related 8 tastes with 10 colors. The results suggested that only a limited number of colors are positively associated with preconceptions of taste. However, certain colors (e.g., red and green) showed consistent patterns of association with taste. Implications ...
