The idea of colour generator is explored for generating the colour symmetry point groups. The advantages in presenting the identification of colour groups through a tree are discussed.

Molecular dynamics study of two-and three-dimensional classical fluids using double Yukawa potential

We have carried out a molecular dynamics simulation of two- and three-dimensional double Yukawa fluids near the triple point. We have compared some of the static and dynamic correlation functions with those of Lennard—Jones, when parameters occurring in double Yukawa potential are chosen to fit Lennard-Jones potential. The results are in good agreement. However, when repulsive and attractive parameters occurring in double Yukawa potential are varied, we found distinct differences in static and dynamic correlation functions. We have also compared the two-dimensional correlation functions with those of three-dimensional to study the effect of dimensionality, near the triple point region.     

On a predictive scheme for colour image quantization

In this paper we proposed an improved colour image quantization scheme based on predictive coding. Since the neighbouring colour pixels are quite similar in most colour images, the similarity among the encoded pixels is exploited. In the proposed scheme the encoded distinct neighbouring colours are collected to form a smaller state-palette. If the closest colour in the state-palette is quite similar to the current encoding colour pixel, the index of the closest colour in the state-palette is recorded. Otherwise, the closest colour in original colour palette for the current encoding colour pixel is searched and the corresponding index is recorded. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves good image qualities while requiring much lower bit rates for colour image compression.     

The physics of colour vision

Investigation of human colour vision relies primarily upon psycho-physical methods which require active observer participation in the experiments. The principal results of such experiments are stated and discussed in relation to the functional organisation of human colour vision. Generally, objective techniques, such as electro-physiology, are employed in the study of colour vision responses in non-human vertebrate species. The structural and functional organisation of vertebrate colour vision as revealed by these objective methods is described and the relationship between objective and psycho-physical results examined. Other sections of the article are concerned with defective colour vision and with parametric variations in normal colour vision. It is concluded that a reasonably consistent scheme for the organization of human colour vision emerges from the various types of experimental investigation, and that this scheme is adequate for the interpretation of a variety of colour vision phenomena.     

Investigation of Chinese skin colour and appearance for skin colour reproduction

A Chinese skin colour database is established based on measurements taken from nine bodies areas of 202 Chinese individuals to move towards accurate skin colour reproduction. The colour appearance of each skin point is predicted, and a comprehensive colour gamut for Chinese skin is determined. A consistent colour shift between facial and arm colours is identified, in which facial colour tends to be more reddish, more colourful, and darker than arm colour. Moreover, Chinese females are found to have lighter, paler, and more yellowish skin than Chinese males. Variations in Chinese skin colour are quantified, and body area differences and gender differences are shown to have significant effects on Chinese skin colour.     

Using coloured structured light in 3-D surface measurement

The widest used algorithms for 3-D surface measurement using structured fringe patterns are phase stepping and Fourier fringe analysis. The techniques currently employed use mostly monochrome fringe patterns as a tool for phase information measurement and further surface reconstruction. However, the information contained in colour images is much more than that of monochrome, in this case, a new colour technique can be employed to analyse a measured scene with colour fringe patterns.This paper presents a new method for improving the measurement of 3-D shapes by using colour information of the measured scene as an additional parameter. The new method is based on primary colours (red, green and blue) to increase the number of the illuminated fringe patterns, which will remove or significantly reduce the common drawbacks of existing methods. The proposed technique produces a number of coloured structured lighting patterns, which are projected from different angles onto the scene. These patterns are analysed using masking algorithms, a specially adapted multi-colour version of the standard Fourier fringe analysis method and calibration routines. In this way a number of the standard difficulties are overcome.     

Multiple groups in the symmetry classification of adiabatic electronic wavefunctions

It was originally shown by Longuet-Higgins and colleagues that when the electronic Schrödinger equation is solved as a function of the nuclear coordinates the adiabatic electronic wavefunction can undergo a change of sign after completing a closed circuit. This geometric phase occurs for a circuit around a conical intersection, and in particular around a conical intersection corresponding to a linear Jahn—Teller effect. The adiabatic wavefunctions are classified here under a group called the adiabatic multiple group, which is a generalization of the ‘vibronic double group’ of C _3v introduced by Hougen, and is distinct from the familiar electron-spin double group. Although the real electronic wavefunctions can be only double-valued, the groups can have higher multiplicity because of the possibility of different circuits. For a number of symmetric- and spherical-top point groups, the adiabatic multiple group is shown to be the direct product of the point group with a phase group. The adiabatic multiple group can be applied to individual adiabatic orbitals, and so to configurations built from these orbitals. This leads to the rule that the linear Jahn—Teller effect vanishes in the single-configuration approximation for configurations containing non-degenerate electrons plus an even number of e electrons. There does not appear to be any cancellation effect for electron configurations of cubic molecules containing f electrons.     

Colour contribution to children's wayfinding in school environments

The purpose of this study was to explore the contribution of colour to children's wayfinding ability in school environments and to examine the differences between colours in terms of their remembrance and usability in route learning process. The experiment was conducted with three different sample groups for each of three experiment sets differentiated by their colour arrangement. The participants totalled 100 primary school children aged seven and eight years old. The study was conducted in four phases. In the first phase, the participants were tested for familiarity with the experiment site and also for colour vision deficiencies by using Ishihara's tests for colour-blindness. In the second phase, they were escorted on the experiment route by the tester one by one, from one starting point to one end point and were asked to lead the tester to the end point by the same route. In the third phase, they were asked to describe verbally the route. In the final phase, they were asked to remember the specific colours at their correct locations. It was found that colour has a significant effect on children's wayfinding performances in school environments. However, there were no differences between different colours in terms of their remembrances in route finding tasks. In addition, the correct identifications of specific colours and landmarks were dependent on their specific locations. Contrary to the literature, gender differences were not found to be significant in the accuracy of route learning performances.

The influence of ambient illumination on colour adaptation in three fringe photoelasticity

In three fringe photoelasticity, a single colour isochromatic image is used to estimate the total fringe order by comparing the colour at each point with that of a calibration table. The generation of the calibration table is critical, and certain nuances involved therein are brought out in this paper. Ideally, the same specimen material and lighting conditions must be used for both the calibration and application experiments, which are often not possible in an industrial scenario, and colour adaptation is a simple way of suitably modifying the calibration table. Till date, only experimental analyses of the colour adaptation procedures are available in the literature; in this paper, the colour adaptation procedures are investigated from an analytical viewpoint. This study has brought out that a two-point colour adaptation scheme accounts not only for tint variation between the calibration and application specimens, but also for ambient illumination. This finding has also been experimentally verified for a benchmark problem, and thereafter extended for reflection photoelastic analyses.     

Thermochromic effect in synthetic opal/polyaniline composite structures

The design and construction of a novel storage/indicator bilayer system is described where ammonia gas stored in a porous material can be used to dope a colour-changing polyaniline film. Both reversible and irreversible colour change effects are possible. A thin synthetic opal film is coupled to a polyaniline film in a parallel plate glass cell with ammonia gas adsorbed on the silica balls that form the opal structure. When heated and cooled, ammonia reversibly exchanges between the opal and polyaniline films causing a very distinct change in the colour of the polyaniline film. This thermochromic effect is also electrically detectable because of the large concomitant change in the resistivity of the polyaniline film that accompanies its colour change.     

Effect of Nonlinear Convection on Stratified Flow of Third Grade Fluid with Revised Fourier-Fick Relations

Here thermal dependence conductivity and nonlinear convection features in third-grade liquid flow bounded by moving surface having varying thickness are formulated. Stagnation point flow is considered. Revised FourierFick relations and double stratification phenomena are utilized for modeling energy and concentration expressions. Mathematical model of considered physical problem is achieved by implementing the idea of boundary layer theory. The acquired partial differential system is transformed into ordinary ones by employing relevant variables. The homotopic scheme yield convergent solutions of governing nonlinear expressions. Graphs are constructed for distinct values of physical constraints to elaborate the heat/mass transportation mechanisms.

Is colour cognitive?

In recent years, colour-vision abilities have been rather generously ascribed to various invertebrates and even bacteria. This uncertainty of when to diagnose colour vision stems in part from confusing what colour vision can do with what it is. What colour vision can do is discriminate wavelength independent of intensity. However, if we take this as a definition of what colour vision is, then we might be obliged to conclude that some plants and bacteria have colour vision. Moreover, there is a similar confusion of what are necessary and what are sufficient mechanisms and behavioural abilities for colour vision. To humans, seeing in colour means seeing an image in which objects/lights have chromatic attributes—in contrast to the sensation that we have when viewing monochrome movies, or our experience in dim light when only rod vision is possible. The necessary basic equipment for this is to have at least two types of photoreceptors that differ in spectral sensitivity, and at least one type of spectrally opponent cell to compare the signals from the photoreceptors. Clearly, however, a necessary additional prerequisite for colour vision is to have vision, which entails the identification of shapes, sizes and locations of objects in the world. Thus, if an animal has colour vision, it should see an image in which distinct objects/lights have colour attributes. This distinguishes colour vision from wavelength discrimination, but also from what has historically been called wavelength-specific behaviour: a type of behaviour triggered by fixed configurations of spectral receptor signals; however, we discuss difficulties in diagnosing wavelength-specific behaviour as an indicator of the absence of colour vision. Finally, we discuss whether colour vision, by definition, contains a cognitive dimension for ordering and classifying perceptual experience.     

An algebraic study of contemporary symmetry concepts — Colour groups and related symmetries

After a few illustrative examples, an attempt is made to give an algebraic definition of symmetry, suitable for generalizations which are usually described as colour symmetry. The wreath product of groups Perm(A) and Perm(M) over the setM is shown to be the most general group of those bijections of cartesian productM×A which are compatible with the concept of colour point. The recently introduced concepts ofP-,Q-,W _p-, andW _q-symmetries are discussed and it is shown thatQ-, andWq-symmetries can be, in a certain sense, reduced toP-, andW _p-symmetries. The meaning of this reduction is briefly discussed for the case of spin groups.Dedicated to Professor Miroslav Trlifaj on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday.     

Titanium plasma spectroscopy studies under double pulse laser excitation

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was applied for parametric studies of titanium (Ti) plasma using single and double pulsed laser excitation scheme. Here a pulsed Nd:YAG laser was employed for generation of laser produced plasma from solid Ti target at ambient pressure. Several ionized titanium lines were recorded in the 312–334 nm UV region. The temporal evolution of plasma parameters such as excitation temperature and electron number density was evaluated. The effect of incident laser irradiance, position of the laser beam focal point with respect to the surface of illumination, single and double laser pulse effect on plasma parameters were also investigated. This study contributes to a better understanding of the LIBS plasma dynamics of the double laser pulse effect on the temporal evolution of various Ti emission lines, the detection sensitivity and the optimal dynamics of plasma for ionized states of Ti. The results demonstrate a faster decay of the continuum and spectral lines and a shorter plasma life time for the double pulse excitation scheme as compared with single laser pulse excitation. For double pulse excitation technique, the emissions of Ti lines intensities are enhanced by a factor of five which could help in the improvement of analytical performance of LIBS technique. In addition, this study proved that to avoid inhomogeneous effects in the laser produced plasma under high laser intensities, short delay times between the incident laser pulse and ICCD gate are required.
