Determination of fatty acid profile and mineral contents of Tricholomopsis rutilans collected from Yozgat

This study was carried out to determine the content of some minerals and fatty acids in Tricholomopsis rutilans (Schaeff.) Singer samples. Tricholomopsis rutilans is a saprophytic mushroom growing on or around conifer stumps and characterized by white spore print, yellow gills, a large yellow cap and yellow stipe entirely covered with red to purplish red scale and fibrils. It is an edible mushroom, although the taste is not nice. The analysed mushroom samples, were collected from different localities of Yozgat province during field trips between 2012-2016 years. Mineral analysis were performed by ICP-MS, and fatty acids were tested by Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry system (GC-MS). Seven different fatty acids (miristic, pentadecanoic, palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, oleic, and linoleic acid) and six different minerals (Cu, Mn, Zn, Fe, Mg, Na) have been determined in mushroom samples. Oleic and linoleic acid were the major fatty acids with proportions 39.04% and 37.09%, respectively. Na and Mg were found to be the most abundant minerals with 126.895 mg/kg-1 and 754.605 mg/kg-1, respectively among the determined minerals.

Optimization of CIEL*a*b*/Yxy colour system for colorimetric devices fabricated with gold nanoparticles

In this paper we demonstrate a gold nanoparticle-based colorimetric CIELAB system for the detection of poly-(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (polyDADMAC) in wastewater. This method is based on the application of paper-based analytical devices which is printed on the normal A4 white printing paper. Fully enclosed 6 × 9 hydrophobic wells were fabricated on this paper. This work provides a clear evidence of the application of CIE L*a*b* colour space system for replacing the conventional spectrophotometric technique to quantify polymers. Results of this work showed that the intensity of the fabricated well is proportional to the concentration of the detected polymer. Change in colour difference (ΔE) was calculated for each fabricated well and clear evidence of the colour change was observed upon the variation of the polymer. Moreover to the application of ΔE, the chromaticity using CIEYxy to verify colour change was observed that they followed expected shift from red to blue, symbolizing aggregation due to Van Der Waal inter-particle attractions as results of the addition of polyDADMAC. The experimental results obtained were verified by the spectrophotometric technique (UV–Visible) which further emphasised the appearance of the new surface Plasmon resonance peak at 610 nm. Most importantly, the intensity of the new surface Plasmon resonance (SPR) peak at 610 nm noticeably increased with increasing concentration of polyDADMAC.

Reversible Data Hiding in Color Image With Grayscale Invariance

Different from all the previous reversible data hiding schemes, a completely novel one for the color image is proposed, which reversibly embeds messages into the color host image without modifying its corresponding gray version. The property of grayscale invariance is valuable, because many applications and image processing algorithms for color images are based on the corresponding gray versions, such as black and white printing, producing reading materials for color blind people, single-channel image processing, and so on. Thus, in terms of these applications and image processing algorithms, the presented scheme will make the generated color marked image be free for its further uses. In this paper, the unchanged gray version is utilized efficiently in both the embedding processes and the extracting processes. Messages are embedded into the red and blue channels of color image, and then the green channel is adjusted adaptively to remove the offsets from the gray version caused by modifying its red and blue channels. To return the adjusted green channel, error correcting bits guaranteeing the reversibility are regarded as one part of payloads to be recursively embedded. Therefore, the reversibility and the property of grayscale invariance are both achieved.

Variability of color matching with different digital photography techniques and a gray reference card

Statement of problemColor matching in restorative and prosthetic dentistry is important for the success of dental treatments, although communication with the dental laboratory remains subjective, and studies of the performance of objective communication methods are lacking. PurposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate color differences (ΔE) and compare color luminosity (L*) values among different types of digital photography equipment used to document tooth color, with and without a gray reference card, and to determine whether the gray card could be used to standardize color assessment in dental photography. Material and methodsSixty photographs were made (n=10) using different equipment: a D7000 digital camera (Nikon Corp) with an 85-mm lens and wireless close-up flash (DC+WCF); close-up flash surrounded by 80 grams per square meter (gsm; specification of paper thickness) white printing paper (DC+WPP); ring flash (DC+RF); close-up flash attached to a dual-point rigid flash bracket (DC+DPRF); cross-polarizing filter attached to a close-up flash (DC+CPF); and iPhone 7 (I7). For all photographs, a gray reference card with known color values was positioned at the patients’ mandibular teeth, acting as a parameter for the analysis of white-balanced digital photographs. Each photograph underwent white balance with the reference card and software. ΔE were obtained from each piece of equipment by comparing images with and without white balance (original photo) with software and the smallest ΔE achieved was used as the gold standard for comparisons of luminosity. Values of luminosity were subsequently obtained for the different equipment with and without white balancing the photographs; these values were compared using a general estimating equation with Huber-White standard error (α=.05). ResultsThe use of a cross-polarizing filter was used as the gold standard for luminosity evaluation, as the smallest ΔE (3.4) among photographs were observed when those with and without white balance were compared. Luminosity results from the cross-polarizing filter method (DC+CPF) were not significantly different from those of the DC+DPRF (P=.73), DC+WPP (P=.106), and DC+WCF (P=.551) groups but were statistically different from DC+RF (P=.028) and I7 groups (P<.001). Use of a gray card was significant when a ring flash (P=.008) or the iPhone (P=.023) were used but not statistically significant for the other groups (P>.05). ConclusionsThe use of a cross-polarizing filter results in more color-standardized photographs, while the ring flash system and the iPhone 7 result in less standardized photographs. The gray reference card had a significant effect when a ring flash system or iPhone 7 was used.

White and Brightly Colored 3D Printing Based on Resonant Photothermal Sensitizers.

The use of photothermal sensitizers to facilitate the sintering of polymer powders is rapidly becoming a pivotal additive manufacturing technology, impacting multiple sectors of industry. However, conventional carbon-based sensitizers can only produce black or gray objects. To create white or colorful prints with this method, visibly transparent equivalents are needed. Here, we address this problem by designing resonant photothermal sensitizers made of plasmonic nanoparticles that strongly absorb in the near-infrared, while only minimally interacting with visible light. Gold nanorods were coated with silica before being mixed with polyamide powders to create stable colorful nanocomposite powders. At resonance, these composites showed greatly improved light-to-heat conversion compared with equivalent composites using the industry standard carbon black as a sensitizer and could be sintered using low-power light sources. Furthermore, they appear much whiter and can produce brightly colored 3D objects when mixed with dyes. Our results open a new route to utilize plasmonic nanoparticles to produce colorful and functional 3D-printed objects.

Russula darjeelingensis, a new species from Eastern Himalaya, India

Russula darjeelingensis is characterized by its small sized white pileus with a tall and narrow stipe, white spore print, basidiospores with amyloid suprahilar spot and a pileipellis containing encrusted pileocystidia and absence of primordial hyphae. The combination of all these characters and molecular phylogenetic analyses of internal transcribed spacer sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA confirmed it as a new species in genus Russula Pers., subg. Russula Romagn. emend. sect. Polychromae (Maire) Sarnari subsect. Paraintegrinae Sarnari. A comprehensive morphological description, illustrations, and comparisons with morphologically similar and phylogenetically related species are provided in the present study.

Contrast preserving image decolorization combining global features and local semantic features

Image decolorization known as the process to transform a color image to a grayscale one is widely used in single-channel image processing, black and white printing, etc. It is a dimension reduction process which inevitably suffers from information loss. The general goal of image decolorization is to preserve the color contrast of the color image. Traditional image decolorization methods are generally divided into local methods and global methods. However, local methods are not accurate enough to process local pixel blocks which may tend to cause local artifacts. While global methods cannot deal well in local color blocks, which are usually time-consuming, too. Therefore, this paper presents a way to combine the local semantic features and the global features. The traditional image decolorization method uses the low-level features of an image. Instead, in this paper, the convolution neural network is used to learn the global features and local semantic features of an image which can better preserve the contrast in both local color blocks and adjacent pixels of the color image. Finally, the global features and the local semantic features are combined to decolorize the image. Experiments indicate that our method outperforms the state of the arts in terms of contrast preservation.

Russula (Russulaceae) in western Himalaya 1: Two new species from subg. Russula

A couple of forays to the temperate to subalpine regions of the western Himalaya uncovered two new species: Russula rajendrae and R. petersenii. Russula rajendrae (subg. Russula sec. Russula subsect. Russula), is characterized by a pale red to venetian pink or pastel red colored pileus with grayish yellow patches in the center, a white spore print, an acrid taste, and cystidia with variably shaped apices (capitate, rounded, moniliform, appendiculate or pointed) whereas, Russula petersenii (subg. Russula sec. Paraincrustatae subsect. Integrae), is characterized by a white pileus with pale yellow to light yellow patches and a concolorous stipe, white to yellowish white lamellae with 3 series of lamellulae, a white spore print, an acrid taste, basidiospores with isolated warts (sparsely connected in places), and different types of cystidial apices. Macro- and micromorphological descriptions together with illustrations and phylogenetic inferences are presented for both species. Allied taxa (endemic and extralimital) are also compared.

Russula dinghuensissp. nov. andR. subpallidiroseasp. nov., Two New Species from Southern China Supported by Morphological and Molecular Evidence

Two new taxa of Russula from the Dinghu Mountain, Guangdong Province, China were described and illustrated based on both morphological data and phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer sequences. Russula dinghuensis is characterized by the olive green pileus, acute and incurved margin, white and rarely forked lamellae, white spore print, globose to ellipsoid basidiospores with stocky and isolated warts, thick metachromatic pileipellis, and slender, furcated and septated terminal elements of pileipellis. Russula subpallidirosea is recognized by the pale pink to pale grayish-pink pileus, white and forked lamellae, white spore print, subglobose to ellipsoid basidiospores with the isolated, subcylindrical to conical warts, the metachromatic pileipellis, and the short, furcated and septate terminal elements of pileipellis. Both molecular and morphological analyses consistently confirm that these two new taxa are placed into Russula subg. Heterophyllidia subsection Cyanoxanthinae. The morphological differences among these two novel species and the closely related taxa are discussed.

Introduction: Art and Religious Reform in Early Modern Europe

This introduction situates the essays of this special issue within current scholarship on art and religious reform in early modern Europe. The first section considers iconoclasm and the settlements reached in its aftermath, and emphasizes the richness and diversity of the Protestant and Catholic visual cultures that evolved alongside movements for religious reform. The second section considers the individual essays, and draws out common themes: the relationship between image and word; artists’ and patrons’ responses to new understandings of Christian history and soteriology; images’ role in the construction of confessional boundaries, but also their ability to transgress those boundaries. The introduction highlights the plurality of methodological approaches adopted by the contributors, which reminds us that although attention to the social and political contexts in which images were produced and received is an essential part of both historical and art-historical analysis, the power of art can never be fully captured through words.

Microbial Life and Death in a Foxing Stain: a Suggested Mechanism of Photographic Prints Defacement.

The gelatin-silver halide black and white prints represent an enormous photography heritage with a great value. Unaesthetic phenomena, the foxing stains that are caused by microbial growth on surface, have been described in stamps, drawings, books, and tissues but, until now, scarcely for photographic materials. In this study, a combination of various techniques, including culture-dependent and culture-independent approaches (RNA and DNA analysis), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and μ-Raman spectroscopy supported by X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF), permitted to describe the microbial contamination dynamics of foxing stains present on the surface of two gelatin-silver halide photographs. The investigation provided also information on the effects of microbial activity on the materials' chemistry of the two prints. The action of microbial community resulted locally in either (a) formation of mixed aluminum-iron-potassium phosphate compounds that could be attributed to the hydrolytic activity of bacteria, (b) leaching of barite,

Influence of disinfection methods on the stability of black and white silver gelatin prints

Abstract Disinfection methods commonly used in paper conservation are employed to disinfect silver gelatin prints, but their influence on individual photographic layers is little understood. In this paper, we examine the effect of disinfection methods on the optical properties of the two layers of black and white silver gelatin prints: an image layer with a photosensitive substance dispersed in gelatin and a paper support layer with baryta coating. Three methods of disinfection were used: disinfection by γ-radiation, by ethylene oxide and by butanol vapors. Optical properties (total colour difference, UV-VIS reflectance) were measured after disinfection and again after subsequent artificial aging by moist heat and by light. The optical properties of the photographic image and paper support remained unchanged after disinfection in butanol vapors, which suggests that this is a promising disinfection method for silver gelatin photographic prints.

Role of Message Appeal and Regulatory Focus in the Effects of Visual Perspective on Reactions toward Advertisements

Objectives: This research is designed to extend our understanding of the effects of visual perspective on advertising by incorporating verbal element in an ad and consumer characteristic. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Visual perspective, message appeal, and regulatory focus were employed as independent variables. As an experimental material four black and white print ads which were differed in visual perspective of images in an ad (first-person, third-person) x message appeal (private use, public use) were created. Regulatory focus was manipulated by making participants complete life survey. Findings: Extant research has suggested that visual perspective plays a prominent role in consumer persuasion. However, not much research efforts have been given to the role of the perspective of visual image in an advertising context. Firstly, this research demonstrates that perspective of visual image interacts with message appeal. Results showed that when visual image in ad was shown from the third-person (vs. first-person) perspective, the verbal message appeal of public use (vs. private use) revealed more favorable attitudes toward ad and product evaluations. Further, it was found that the participants’ regulatory orientation significantly moderated the interaction effects of visual perspective and message appeal. Hence, the interaction effects of third-person (vs. first-person) perspective and message appeal of public use (vs. private use) were eliminated when the participants’ regulatory focus was promotion-focus (vs. prevention-focus). Improvements/Applications: Practitioners should be cautious when determining the camera angles of ad images and consider the type of message appeal of an ad and the target audiences’ regulatory focus.

Optimized Image Rendition with White Colorant in a Digital Electrophotographic Printing Process

The rapid advances in the display and mobile communication technologies have profoundly challenged the traditional analog high-speed printing press as well as the still-evolving digital printing technology in delivering information to consumers. While the mobile technologies are very efficient to provide instantaneous feed of current affairs to consumers, printing on varieties of substrates beyond plain paper is still irreplaceable to marketing, packaging and additive manufacturing in the real world applications. When printing on nonwhite substrates such as glass and metallics, white colorant is often required along with the other primary colors to properly reproduce the intended color. In this paper, we will introduce a digital color control algorithm that enable white printing capability while satisfying the constraints of simultaneously achieving optimal image quality and minimal total cost of consumption.

Abstract WP398: Can a Shorter, Colorful Education Book Improve Stroke Patient Satisfaction Scores?

Stroke patients need written information on how to recognize and prevent a secondary stroke. Limited health literacy is associated with medication errors and a lack of knowledge for chronic health conditions. Written communication needs to be inviting and understood by the largest population possible. At University Hospitals Comprehensive Stroke and Cerebrovascular Center (UHCSCC) the education book, “HOPE, A Stroke Recovery Guide” from the National Stroke Association has been given to patients for many years. It is 66 pages long, black and white print with very few pictures. Patients in the acute hospital setting describe it as overwhelming. The purpose of this project is to assess any impact on stroke patient satisfaction scores at UHCSCC using a new education book. Using the principles of health literacy, a group of physicians, nurses, and a pharmacist collaborated to develop a hospital branded stroke education book. Health Literacy Advisor software was used to assess readability and suggest plain language alternatives. The format was presented in chunks of information using bullet points on 21 pages and many colored pictures. The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) Survey, the national, standardized publicly reported survey of patients’ perspective on hospital care, was used to evaluate any impact of the new education material. Four questions on the HCAHPS survey were used: “How often did nurses explain things in a way you understand?” “How often did doctors explain things in a way you understand?” “Did you understand the purpose of taking your medicines? “Before giving you any new medicine, how often did the hospital staff tell you what the medicine was for?” Reviewing responses over a 12 month period, the top box percentages for all four questions increased after the introduction of the new book. Nurses’ explanations score increased 5.5%. Doctors’ explanations score increased 5.3%. Understanding purpose of medications score increased 15.2% and Explanations for a new medication score increased 2.7%. Publicly reporting of HCAHPS results creates incentives for the hospitals to improve quality of care. At UHCSCC stroke patient satisfaction scores improved with introduction of new shorter, colorful education book.

In order to remain on store shelves and stay competitive among the overwhelming number of packaged goods on today’s shelves, companies continue to cut packaging material and increase sustainability. Current packaging has made use of a variety of paperboard materials including Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS), Coated Recycled Board (CRB) and Uncoated Recycled Board (URB), also known as Kraft. While both SBS and CRB feature a smooth, white printing surface ideal for high quality graphics, Kraft is typically associated with a dull printing surface and lower-quality graphics.
