Three experiments were conducted on color preference using a spontaneous selection paradigm with infant participants. Experiment 1 demonstrated that participants prefer red over green in a friendly laboratory environment. Experiment 2 demonstrated that participants' preference for red varies with the context in which the color is presented: Red is preferred in a hospitable context (following a ...

Nezara viridula (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), the southern green stink bug, has body color polymorphisms. N. viridula f. smaragdula is the common green morph, whereas the rare morph N. viridula f. aurantiaca is uniformly orange. Crossing studies were conducted to determine the inheritance of the orange body color trait. Mendelian genetic analysis suggested that orange body color is a simple, ...

We have tested the independence of red-green chromatic and luminance mechanisms at detection threshold using a method of subthreshold summation. Stimuli were isoluminant red-green gratings and yellow-black luminance gratings that uniquely activate the red-green color and luminance mechanisms, respectively. Stimuli were Gaussian enveloped 0.25, 1 or 4 cpd sinewave gratings, counter-phase flicker...

We measured responses to red-green color variation in parvocellular (PC) neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus of dichromatic ("red-green color blind") marmoset monkeys. Although these animals lack distinct visual pigments to distinguish between wavelengths in this range, many of the colored stimuli nevertheless produced robust responses in PC cells. We show that these responses, which are ...

Digital cameras record only one color component per pixel, red, green or blue. Demosaicking is the process by which one can infer a whole color matrix from such a matrix of values, thus interpolating the two missing color values per pixel. The selected color configuration of the sensor usually follows the Bayer color filter array, CFA. Out of a group of four pixels, two are green (in quincunx),...

Digital cameras have become popular and many people are choosing to take their pictures with digital cameras instead of film cameras. When a digital image is recorded, the camera needs to perform a significant amount of processing to provide the user a viewable image. This processing includes white balance adjustment, gamma correction, compression and more (reference “Color Image Processing Pip...

The mode of inheritance of seedling color and plant pubescence was studied in two crosses among three parents, which differed for these traits. The results have revealed that purple seedling color was dominant over green seedling color and pubescence was dominant over nonpubescence. These two traits segregated independently of each other may be used as morphological markers individually for dif...

When all Green’s functions are known in a given gauge we may raise a question of whether it is possible or not to derive the corresponding ones in a different gauge. The answer is negative in QCD but affirmative in QED provided that we confine ourselves to the covariant gauge characterized by a gauge parameter α. We shall discuss the physical significance of this conclusion.

Pointwise a posteriori error estimates are derived for linear secondorder elliptic problems over general polygonal domains in 2D. The analysis carries over regardless of convexity, accounting even for slit domains, and applies to highly graded unstructured meshes as well. A key ingredient is a new asymptotic a priori estimate for regularized Green's functions. The estimators lead always to uppe...

A procedure developed earlier (Terrace, 1963) successfully trained a red-green discrimination without the occurrence of any errors in 12 out of 12 cases. Errorless transfer from the red-green discrimination to a discrimination between a vertical and a horizontal line was accomplished by first superimposing the vertical and the horizontal lines on the red and green backgrounds, respectively, and...
