In this paper the effect of whiteness attribute of white substrates on blackness property of black coated fabrics is investigated. To this aim, four cotton fabrics with different whiteness and tint attributes are used as white substrates. To prepare a set of black samples, various concentrations of four color pigments, i.e., red, green, blue and yellow, were mixed with the black one and applied...

Just as there are frictional losses associated with moving masses on a surface, what if there are frictional losses associated with moving information on a substrate? We propose to model these losses as proportional to “bit-meters,” i.e., the product of mass of information (i.e., its entropy) and the distance of information transport. For communication across a binary input AWGN channel, by obt...

the rate and efficiency of decolorization of dyes likeblue ca, black b133, and corazol violet sr were tested to evaluate white rot fungal strains. trametes hirsuta and pleurotus florida showed the greatest extent ofdecolorization on nutrient salt media. maximum decolorization of 200 mg/l of blue 133 was obtained by 4days old incubated pleurotus florida followed bytrametes hirsuta after 6 days. ...

achaemenid glazed bricks of archaeological excavation of tall-e-ajori in persepolis city were studied by multiple instrumental analysis methods  such as xrf, xrd, sem-eds, icp and optical microscopy to identify the compositional features of glaze and brick body. glaze samples are apparently white and yellow  and this phenomenon are caused by the deterioration processes in burial environment, he...

Lack of neurite growth in optic nerve explants in vitro has been suggested to be due to nonpermissive substrate properties of higher vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) white matter. We have searched for surface components in CNS white matter, which would prevent neurite growth. CNS, but not peripheral nervous system (PNS) myelin fractions from rat and chick were highly nonpermissive substr...

We examine the dynamics of a two-dimensional droplet spreading over a random topographical substrate. Our analysis is based on the formalism developed in Part 1 of this study, where a random substrate was modelled as band-limited white noise. The system of integrodifferential equations for the motion of the contact points over deterministic substrates derived by Savva and Kalliadasis (Phys. Flu...
