Equivalent lightness of four colored objects, blue, green, yellow, and red, was obtained for illuminance levels covering the range 0.01 to 1000 lx by brightness matching to a grey scale. Three field sizes, 20', 1° and 6° arc of visual angle, were investigated. With the smallest size, for which no rod response was expected, the equivalent lightness increased monotonically for incresing illuminance, showing the increasing effect of colorfulness upon brightness. The results obtained with the largest size showed influence from both rods and cones and were interpreted as due to two underlying lightnesses, one lightness based on the achromatic response of rods, cones, or both, and the other lightness based on the chromatic response of cones exhibited as colorfulness. 相似文献
In the present study, the critical durations for temporal integration at theshold were obtained for bichromatically mixed (red/green and yellow/blue) test lights presented against darkness and achromatic backgrounds of different intensities. Critical durations crucially depended on the mixing ratio of the red and green components: it was shortest when red and green components were balanced in intensity canceling chromaticness of both components, and longer for red and green monochromatic lights. This trend was pronounced with backgrounds of higher intensities but was not obvious with dim backgrounds. The results of yellow/blue condition showed that critical durations were shorter when yellow component was dominant, as well as when yellow and blue components were balanced in intensity canceling chromaticness of both components, but when blue monochromatic light was dominant, it was longer than in other mixture conditions and changed less with the elevation of the background intensity. The results were interpreted as demonstraing the red/green and yellow/blue opponet-color mechanism's participation. 相似文献
Recent studies have shown cultural differences in color preference. However, the color preference of people in China, which was found to have its own pattern, was yet to be studied in depth. The current study investigated color preference and the associated age and gender differences in an adult national sample (N = 1290) to provide a culture‐specific characteristic of color perception. Participants rated how much they liked each of 31 colors (four chroma‐lightness levels of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, plus three achromatic colors). We found a unique saturated color preference pattern characterized by red, cyan, and blue being preferred the most and orange as the least preferred chromatic color. The “red preference” phenomenon was observed in Chinese adults. Light colors were preferred the most in terms of chroma‐lightness level, followed by saturated, muted, and dark colors. The results of a principal component analysis of the 28 chromatic colors showed that blue‐green‐like colors (cool colors) constituted the largest proportion of color preference. The preference for orange and several dark colors increased with age, while that for bluish colors, purple, yellow, white, black, and light colors decreased. In terms of gender, women liked cyan, white, pink, and light colors and disliked red, orange, and dark colors more than men did. Our findings provide new empirical evidence about the color preference of Chinese and may offer some insight into the study of color preference and lay the foundations for future theoretical and practical research. 相似文献
Come together right now with L ‐DOPA : Chemical cross‐linking is widely used to study protein–protein interactions. However, many cross‐linking agents suffer from low reactivity or selectivity. An efficient and selective reaction of site‐specific protein cross‐linking was achieved using genetically incorporated 3,4‐dihydroxy‐L ‐phenylalanine.
The additivity of flicker responses produced by two different wavelengths λ1 and λ2 was investigated for five adapting levels of 560 nm by the summation-index method. A summation-index value of σ of 0.30 was obtained for all conditions employed, confirming the linear property of the achromatic channel. The additivity of unique chromatic responses, red, yellow, green, and blue, was also investigated with the same method. In this case the wavelengths λ1 and λ2 were chosen in a spectral region to produce one of the four unique colors and the summation index was measured for the color with the cancellation method. A summation index of 0.30 was found for the green and blue sensations and also for the red sensation if both stimuli were from the same spectral region. A slight additivity failure of the enhancement type was found for pairs λ1 and λ2 λ1 was in the short-wavelength region while λ2 was in the long-wavelength region. An additivity failure of the same type was found for the yellow chromatic sensation when λ2 was 607 nm and λ1 was 570, 550, or 533 nm, the last combination giving a summation index of as much as 0.64. The results imply the existence of two different cones whose responses do not add linearly to yield the yellow sensation. 相似文献
The strain and thermal dependence of the dynamic mechanical properties of carbon black filler networks underpin the performance of many rubber components. These effects are examined by varying the surface energetics of carbon black. This has a profound influence on the level of flocculation of the carbon black network in the final crosslinked compounds. Filler networks comprised of thermally deactivated carbon blacks are significantly more strain‐sensitive – shifting the onset of the Payne effect to smaller dynamic strains. Using free vibration equipment to precisely probe the thermal sensitivity of the linear viscoelastic properties of the filled compounds, it is shown that carbon black deactivation results in carbon black networks which are more thermally sensitive than corresponding unmodified carbon black networks. Increased thermal dependence of the dynamic moduli results in the appearance of a secondary increase in tan δ as a function of increasing temperature well above the rubber Tg – which is not correlated with any thermal transitions in calorimetric experiments. Such effects are prevalent in the relevant literature for various rubber–filler combinations but their physical origins are often misinterpreted or unexplained. A rationalization of these effects based on the dynamics of the filler network is presented.
