Interactions between the fovea and the periphery shape misbinding of visual features in a continuous report paradigm

Human object perception depends on the proper integration of multiple visual features, such as color and motion. When features are integrated incorrectly, they are perceptually misbound and can cause illusions. This study investigates the phenomenon of continuous misbinding of color and motion features in peripheral vision, addressing the role of spatial continuity and color configuration in binding processes. Using a novel continuous report task, human subjects reported the perceived movement direction of color-coded dots in the peripheral visual field that were either congruent or incongruent with a foveal stimulus. Results indicate that spatial continuity is crucial for feature misbinding, with a marked decrease in peripheral perceptions bound to match foveal perception when the foveal and peripheral stimuli are spatially disjointed. Additionally, performance improved significantly when peripheral and foveal features were aligned, suggesting a ‘positive illusion’ effect where congruent features enhance perceptual accuracy. This effect was independent of the color pairings used, challenging the notion that color processing discrepancies might drive erroneous perception in this stimulus. These findings highlight the complex interplay between spatial configuration and perceptual accuracy in visual feature integration, with implications for understanding the neural basis of vision and developing applications to address perceptual inaccuracies in visual disorders.

How to Make Flower Borders Benefit Public Emotional Health in Urban Green Space: A Perspective of Color Characteristics

The emotional health benefits of urban green space have been widely recognized. Flower borders, as a perennial plant landscape, have gradually become a current form of plant application in urban green spaces due to their rich color configurations. However, the related research primarily focuses on the impact of urban green spaces on public health, with relatively little attention given to how the colors of flower borders affect public emotional health. This study explored the relationship between the flower borders color characteristics and the public emotional health. In this study, 24 sample images were used as experimental materials, which selected based on their color richness and harmony. Additionally, face recognition technology and online random questionnaires were utilized to measure the public basic emotions and pleasure, respectively. The result shows that, based on the HSV color model and expert recommendations, 19 color characteristics were identified. The correlation analysis of the results from the public emotion with these color characteristics revealed that 13 color characteristics correlated with public emotional pleasure. Among them, blue, neutral purple, and low saturation were positively correlated. Through factor analysis, these thirteen color characteristics were summarized and categorized into four common factors (F1–F4), three of which are related to color. They are “low saturation of blue-violet percentage” (F1), “color configuration diversity” (F2), “bright red percentage” (F3), and “base green percentage” (F4), with F1 having the largest variance explained (27.88%). Finally, an evaluation model of color characteristics was constructed based on the variance explained by these four factors, which was demonstrated to effectively predict the level of public emotional pleasure when viewing flower borders. The results shed light on the effects of color characteristics on public emotions and provide new perspectives for subsequent flower border evaluations. Our results provide a valuable reference for future flower border color design, aiming to better improve public emotional health.

The effect of guardrail color on driver behavior based on driving style along mountain curves

Objective Mountain highways are linearly complex, with extensive curves and high accident injury rates, how to improve driving safety is the key to traffic safety management on mountain highways, and it also meets the need for harmonious and sustainable development of the society. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of different guardrail color configurations on the driving behavior of different styles of drivers when driving on mountainous curves from the perspective of improving road aids – guardrails. Methods A virtual reality experiment was designed using a driving simulator and VR technology, and 64 subjects were recruited to participate and complete the experiment. Results Drivers with non-adaptive driving styles (Reckless, Angry, Anxious) traveled at significantly higher speeds than subjects with adaptive driving styles (Cautious) on mountainous roads; drivers with Cautious styles had better lane-keeping ability when passing through different radii of curves as compared to non-adaptive drivers; and the red and yellow guardrails were more effective in decreasing the speeds at which drivers passed and in increasing the stability of lane-keeping. Conclusions The results of the study show that the effectiveness of red and yellow guardrails is better, which provides a reference for the traffic management department to propose a standardized color setting of guardrails in mountainous areas, which is conducive to the development of more precise traffic management measures to reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.

Understanding the extent of detectability and heat transfer characteristics of hidden defects on metal-based envelopes

Metal hidden defects can either be due to corrosion or voids. The extent of their detectability and heat transfer characteristics, particularly with light-colored surface paints and assembly configurations, have been less explored. Observing surface thermal contrast and rate of temperature change (RTC) during “long-pulse” excitation can detect hidden defects regardless of the metal type, paint color, and assembly configuration. However, results from the active thermography approach only indicate their presence and not their location and type. Corroded layers have a lower surface temperature and RTC due to faster heat transfer, while pitted layers have a higher surface temperature and RTC.

Elderly-Centric Chromatics: Unraveling the Color Preferences and Visual Needs of the Elderly in Smart APP Interfaces

The survey found that many interactive interfaces of apps developed for the elderly on the market do not align with the visual characteristics of the elderly in terms of color configuration design. This mismatch greatly diminishes the usability and experience for elderly users. This research offers a meticulous analysis of user interface (UI) design for smart applications (APPs) specifically tailored for elderly users, focusing on enhancing visual functionality and protecting elderly users’ physical & mental health through scientifically configured colors. Against the backdrop of China’s aging population, this study implements the Hue, Saturation, and Lightness (HSL) model, and integrates methodologies from design, color theory, psychology, and statistics. Through visual simulation experiments, exhaustive questionnaires, and in-depth interviews, it was proposed that an APP interface color configuration design that meets the conditions of warm hue, high lightness, and medium saturation in the HSL model is most suitable for the elderly. The study also reveals a distinct aversion among the elderly toward colors with low lightness and specific cool hues.

P -wave states Tbb− from diquarks

We investigate the P-wave states Tbb− in the isospin singlet and three excited modes [excitation occurring in the diquark [bb]c1s1 (ρ-mode), antidiquark [u¯d¯]c2s2 (r-mode), or between them (λ-mode)] from diquarks in a quark model. We analyze the dynamical behaviors of the diquark [bb]c1s1, antidiquark [u¯d¯]c2s2, and their correlations in the states Tbb− by decomposing the interactions from various sources in the model. The absolute dominant color-spin configuration, more than 99%, in the ρ-mode with 1P11 is [bb]3¯0[u¯d¯]30. Its energy is lower by about 18 MeV than the threshold B¯B¯ so that it can establish a compact bound state. The chromomagnetic and meson-exchange interactions in the antidiquark [u¯d¯]30 are responsible for its binding mechanism. Two other excited modes are higher than their respective threshold. The color configuration 6⊗6¯ need to be handled discreetly in the tetraquark states. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Spatial Intelligent Design and Innovation for Indoor Environment - Visualization and Analysis of Web3D Technology

Abstract Along with the popularization and expanding influence of Internet applications, Web 3D is born from various mature technologies driven by the demand for commercial interests in the Internet. This study designs an interactive intelligent design method for indoor environment space based on Web 3D, which has cross-platform and high-performance graphic drawing capability and covers indoor lighting material transformation, smooth switching of viewpoints, zooming of areas, and other interactive modes. It has cross-platform and high-performance graphic drawing capabilities and covers indoor lighting material change, smooth switching of viewpoints, area zoom, and other features. Based on the visual perception characteristics of the human eye, we obtain the user’s most realistic experience of the color of the indoor space and then construct the virtual indoor environmental space through the Web 3D system, and carry out a visual analysis of the indoor space under different materials and colors. The results show that under the visual analysis of Web 3D, the optimal distribution of color luminance values affecting the visual psychology of indoor environmental space is between 30.5 and 68.9nit, with a mean value of 49.59nit. The results can establish a favorable basis for the later indoor color configuration, which is in line with the visual characteristics of the human eye in indoor color configuration design practice.

Investigating Fully Strange Tetraquark System with Positive Parity in a Chiral Quark Model

Motivated by the intriguing discovery of X(6900) by the LHCb collaboration, we undertake a comprehensive study of the ss¯ss¯ tetraquark system with positive parity, employing the Gaussian expansion within the chiral quark model method. We consider two structures, the diquark–antidiquark (ss-s¯s¯) structure and meson–meson (ss¯-ss¯) structure, covering all conceivable color and spin configurations. Despite the absence of bound states in our calculations, we have identified potential resonant states with JP=0+, namely, R(0,2150) and R(0,2915), as well as a resonant state with JP=1+, denoted as R(1,2950), and a resonant state with JP=2+, denoted as R(2,2850), utilizing the real-scaling method. By comparing their energies and widths, we suggest that R(0,2915) and R(1,2950) may share characteristics with X(6900), while R(0,2150) could be a promising candidate for the experimental state f0(2100). We strongly advocate for experimental investigations to shed light on the existence and properties of these resonant states.

Biophilic analogous patterns for light-responsive architecture during polar night: Examining the photobiological effects of electrical lighting on surface colour configuration

This paper investigates occupants' photobiological responses of biophilic analogous patterns such as electrical lighting and surface colour configuration during dark periods in northern architecture. Biophilic design establishes that the integration of nature-inspired architectural strategies could positively impact occupants’ photobiological responses to enhance well-being in locations with limited daylight access. Photobiological responses are indicated on image-forming (IF) and non-image forming (NIF) effects. IF relates to visual outcomes, reflected on vision and visual tasks, and measured in photopic units. NIF relates to non-visual outcomes such as the biological process of circadian clock stimulation and measured in melanopic units. Limited research addresses the impact of electrical lighting combined with surface colour (SC) configurations to optimize minimum lighting requirements at photopic and melanopic levels in an architectural setting. This research therefore examines eight surface colour configurations tested under three different luminaire positions set at warm, warm-white, and white correlated colour temperature (CCT). The variables generated 72 scenarios, which were captured through high dynamic range images (HDRi), analyzed, and post-processed to display false colour maps and values of illuminance, melanopic-Equivalent Daylight Illuminance (melanopic-EDI) and spatial colour temperature. Results demonstrate the spatial diversification generated by electrical lighting to different visual tasks and circadian stimulation over a day. The study also proved that several coloured surfaces and luminaire settings can generate similar photopic and melanopic lighting conditions despite their perceived spatial colour temperature. This research highlights the photobiological adjustment of biophilic coloured lighting ambiances provided by electrical systems in northern latitudes compromised by extreme photoperiod.

Social Support, eHealth Literacy, and mHealth Use in Older Adults With Diabetes: Moderated Mediating Effect of the Perceived Importance of App Design.

Mobile healthcare has emerged as a prominent technological solution for self-management of health. However, the development and utilization of tailored mobile healthcare applications for older adults with diabetes mellitus remain limited. This study examined the relationship between social support and mobile healthcare use and further explored how this relationship varies with eHealth literacy and application design among older adults with diabetes mellitus. A descriptive cross-sectional trial was conducted with a structured self-report questionnaire, surveying 252 South Korean older adults with diabetes mellitus via offline and online modes. The mediating effect and moderated mediating effect were analyzed with the PROCESS macro of SPSS. eHealth literacy mediated the relationship between social support and mobile healthcare use. High levels of eHealth literacy and social support may increase mobile healthcare use among older adults with diabetes. Application design aesthetics facilitated mobile healthcare use. Future researchers, healthcare providers, and developers can contribute to the development of tailored mobile healthcare applications for older adults with diabetes mellitus by considering application design aspects such as font size, color, and menu configuration.

Mass-spectra of light-heavy tetraquarks

The mass spectra of light-heavy tetraquarks [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]) are computed in a nonrelativistic diquark model with one-gluon exchange plus confining potential. In the diquark model, a [Formula: see text] state is regarded to be made of a light-heavy diquark ([Formula: see text]) and an antidiquark [Formula: see text] in antitriplet and triplet color configuration, respectively. The masses of charm mesons were calculated in order to fit the model parameters used to create the masses of tetraquarks and therefore enhance the model’s reliability. The masses of [Formula: see text] tetra-quark states are determined to be in the range of 3.8–4.7[Formula: see text]GeV, which is consistent with the experimentally reported charmonium-like states. In particular, the [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] tetraquarks, which have been seen experimentally, may all be described by our model.

Exploring light and colour patterns for remote biophilic northern architecture

This research explores the effects of light in terms of colour, surface colour configuration and finishes using simple and advanced methods in the development of biophilic lighting ambiances for remote northern architecture. Biophilic light and colour design can benefit inhabitants of subarctic regions, where drastic changes in the natural photoperiod can impact the mind and body. To predict the outcomes of light and colour, this research used reduced-scale models that replicate a north-oriented room and a specially designed mirror-box sky simulator, which emulates the lighting conditions and correlated colour temperature (CCT) of a northern sky. Physical models with distinct surface colour properties and the use of high dynamic range imagery (HDRi) techniques allow the recognition of quantitative effects and lighting attributes of main hue families such as red, green, blue and yellow. The results reveal that the colour and the surface colour configuration significantly modify the spectral properties of a lit ambiance measured in Equivalent Melanopic Lux (EML) and CCT. Surface colour configuration and finishes produce variations in the luminous attributes measured in intensity contrast. This combination of simple and innovative tools could predict light and colour effects in early design stages for responsive architecture in subarctic territories.

712-P: Social Support, eHealth Literacy, and mHealth Use in Older Adults with Diabetes—Moderated Mediating Effect of Perceived Importance of App Design

Mobile healthcare (mHealth) for older adults with diabetes could benefit diabetes self-management. However, limited research is available regarding the factors influencing mHealth use. This descriptive study aimed to identify the factors that influence mHealth use. Participants aged 65 years or older with diabetes living in South Korea were recruited online and offline to complete a structured self-report questionnaire. With 252 valid responses, the moderated mediating effect of eHealth literacy and the perceived importance of app design in the relationship between social support and mHealth use were tested using SPSS PROCESS Macro 4.0. The results show that social support had a positive relationship with mHealth use, and eHealth literacy and perceived importance of app aesthetics had a moderated mediating effect. Moreover, when patients’ perceived importance of app aesthetics was high, eHealth literacy more positively affected mHealth use. This study implies that it is necessary to enlist the help of family, friends, and neighbors to increase access to internet-based health information and encourage mHealth use among older adults with diabetes. Furthermore, this study suggests developers should consider user experience (UX), such as font size, color, and menu configuration when developing mHealth for older adults with diabetes.

Exotic states with configuration

In the framework of a non-relativistic quark model, we have calculated the masses of the (Q = c, b, s and ) tetraquark states. Using the linear and quadratic confinement potentials inside a Cornell-type potential along with all possible spin and color configurations, the Schrödinger equation masses of these tetraquark states have been calculated. Based on our numerical analysis, linear confinement and quadratic confinement produce acceptable results. Models that use linear confinement estimate charmonium-like tetraquark mass close to experimental data, as well as bottomonium-like tetraquark mass below the threshold of their meson–meson channels.

Moreover, our results provide the mass relations and for the positive and negative -parity D-wave tetraquarks, respectively. We suggest searching for these possible D-wave tetraquarks in both the hidden-charm channels and , as well as open-charm channels such as and .

Accessible Dyslexia Detection with Real-Time Reading Feedback through Robust Interpretable Eye-Tracking Features.

Developing reliable, quantifiable, and accessible metrics for dyslexia diagnosis and tracking represents an important goal, considering the widespread nature of dyslexia and its negative impact on education and quality of life. In this study, we observe eye-tracking data from 15 dyslexic and 15 neurotypical Serbian school-age children who read text segments presented on different color configurations. Two new eye-tracking features were introduced that quantify the amount of spatial complexity of the subject's gaze through time and inherently provide information regarding the locations in the text in which the subject struggled the most. The features were extracted from the raw eye-tracking data (x, y coordinates), from the original data gathered at 60 Hz, and from the downsampled data at 30 Hz, examining the compatibility of features with low-cost or custom-made eye-trackers. The features were used as inputs to machine learning algorithms, and the best-obtained accuracy was 88.9% for 60 Hz and 87.8% for 30 Hz. The features were also used to analyze the influence of background/overlay color on the quality of reading, and it was shown that the introduced features separate the dyslexic and control groups regardless of the background/overlay color. The colors can, however, influence each subject differently, which implies that an individualistic approach would be necessary to obtain the best therapeutic results. The performed study shows promise in dyslexia detection and evaluation, as the proposed features can be implemented in real time as feedback during reading and show effectiveness at detecting dyslexia with data obtained using a lower sampling rate.

Rapid all-in-focus imaging via physical neural network optical encoding

Lightfield phase modulation has become an effective implementation for extending depth-of-field (DOF) of computational imaging. However, correct reconstruction of tiny details and color configuration with a fast capture is still challenging. Here, we demonstrate a high-dynamic all-focus imaging based on a proposed paradigm of constructing diffractive network encoding and electronic network decoding (DE-ED) conformation. With an efficient collaboration of physical diffractive layers and electronic convolutional layers, this learning-based model demonstrates significantly enhanced generalization and data-fitting capabilities. In experiments, the proposed method exhibits an obvious superiority in high-dynamic adaptation, autofocusing, and denoise compared with conventional methods. Specifically, an ultrahigh capture frame rate with ST <1/3000 s can be precisely adapted with only ∼5.6 mm diameter of imaging aperture under natural illumination. Several videos for proposed high-dynamic reconstruction show this method's time-efficiency and consistency. These results highlight some unique advantages of the constructed hybrid opto-electronic network model based on data-driven end-to-end learning for next-generation innovative computational imaging.

Eye-Tracking Image Encoding: Autoencoders for the Crossing of Language Boundaries in Developmental Dyslexia Detection

The negative influence of developmental dyslexia on academic performance is a well-documented and researched topic. Although the research focused on developmental dyslexia detection and evaluation is plentiful, the study designs vary to a great degree, making the exchange of obtained knowledge often difficult. This paper focuses on bridging the gap between different study designs by developing a machine learning based pipeline that was evaluated on two completely different eye-tracking datasets (training on one, testing on the other, and vice versa). One dataset included 30 subjects who read text written in Serbian on different color configurations and were tracked with a remote eye-tracker. The second dataset included 185 subjects who read text written in Swedish and recorded eye-tracking data using a goggle-based system. The data from both datasets were converted to grayscale images, using various time window configurations to parse the signals, and to plot the data in a 2D plane. The train images were used to train an Autoencoder neural network, and the images’ reconstruction error was used to create features that describe each instance of both the training and test sets. The train feature set was used to train various machine learning algorithms, which were then evaluated on the testing feature dataset. A classification accuracy of 85.6% was obtained when testing on Serbian readers’ data and 82.9% when testing on Swedish readers. The proposed pipeline was shown to be transferable between the datasets, despite many differences in the experiment design, showing potential in combining various eye-tracking dyslexia studies.

Leaf color attributes of urban colored-leaf plants

Abstract Plant color was an important landscape of the urban green space, and quantitative analysis of its characteristics could provide a basis for plant color configuration. The leaf color attributes of 80 colored-leaf plants were studied and the Scenic Beauty Estimates (SBE) was used to evaluate their beauty. The data of leaves color were obtained by MATLAB software and scanner under the hue–saturation–brightness (HSB) system and then were further analyzed to determine the relationship between the SBE and color attributes (HSB). Results showed that the leaf colors of 80 plants contained 13 hues in total, which belonged to six color systems. The species contained in different color systems, from most to least, were yellow–green series (27 species) &gt; orange series (19 species) &gt; red series (18 species) &gt; yellow series (10 species) &gt; blue-green (four species) &gt; purple (two species). There were fewer blue and purple series species. The brightness and saturation of color were mainly distributed in the middle (26–50%), middle and high (51–75%) stages, and those of the yellow–green system belonged to the medium and high stages and were significantly higher than other color systems. There is a significant positive correlation between the brightness and saturation of color and the value of SBE, and an SBE evaluation model was established based on the color attributes. The results are helpful to select plants with higher beauty and create a rich plant color landscape.

Color flux-tube nature of the states Tcs(2900) and Tcs¯a(2900)

Inspired by the states $T_{cs0}(2900)^0$, $T_{cs1}(2900)^0$, $T^a_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)^{0}$ and $T^a_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)^{++}$ reported by the LHCb Collaboration, we carry out a systematical investigation on the properties of the ground and $P$-wave states $[cs][\bar{u}\bar{d}]$ and $[cu][\bar{s}\bar{d}]$ with various spin, isospin or $U$-spin, and color combinations in a multiquark color flux-tube model. Matching our results with the spin-parity and mass of the states $T_{cs0}(2900)^0$ and $T_{cs1}(2900)^0$, we can describe them as the compact states $[cs][\bar{u}\bar{d}]$ with $I(J^{P})=1(0^+)$ and $0(1^-)$ in the model, respectively. The ground state $T_{cs0}(2900)^0$ is mainly made of strongly overlapped an axial-vector $[cs]_{\bar{\mathbf{3}}_c}$ and an axial-vector $[\bar{u}\bar{d}]_{\mathbf{3}_c}$. The $P$-wave state $T_{cs1}(2900)^0$ is dominantly consisted of a gradually separated scalar or axial vector $[cs]_{\bar{\mathbf{3}}_c}$ and a scalar $[\bar{u}\bar{d}]_{\mathbf{3}_c}$ in the shape of a dumbbell. Supposing the states $T^a_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)^{0}$ and $T^a_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)^{++}$ belong to the same isospin triplet, the mass of the state $\left [[cu]_{\bar{\mathbf{3}}_c}[\bar{s}\bar{d}]_ {\mathbf{3}_c}\right ]_{\mathbf{1}_c}$ with symmetrical $U$-spin and $J^P=0^+$ is highly consistent with that of the states $T^a_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)^{0}$ and $T^a_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)^{++}$ in the model. After coupling two color configurations, the state $[cu][\bar{s}\bar{d}]$ is slightly lighter than the states $T^a_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)^{0}$ and $T^a_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)^{++}$. In addition, we also discuss the properties of other states in the model.
