The hue discrimination curve (HDC) that characterizes performances over the entire hue circle was determined by using sinusoidally modulated spectral power distributions of 1.5 c/300 nm with fixed amplitude and twelve reference phases. To investigate relationship between hue discrimination and appearance, observers further performed a free color naming and unique hue tasks. The HDC consistently displayed two minima and two maxima; discrimination is optimal at the yellow/orange and blue/magenta boundaries and pessimal in green and in the extra-spectral magenta colors. A linear model based on Müller zone theory correctly predicts a periodical profile but with a phase-opponency (minima/maxima at 180° apart) which is inconsistent with the empirical HDC's profile.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the addition of wild garlic leaves on the sensory quality, volatiles, color, and texture of sheep milk soft rennet-curd cheese. The sensory evaluation of color, appearance, texture, odor, and taste was performed using a 5-point scale. The intensity of selected taste and odor discriminants was also assessed.

Introduction: This study investigated the efficacy of a digital health solution utilizing smartphone images of colorimetric test-strips for home-based salivary uric acid (sUA) measurement to predict pre-eclampsia (PE), pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).
Methods: 495 pregnant women were included prospectively at Zealand University Hospital, Denmark. They performed weekly self-tests from mid-pregnancy until delivery and referred these for analysis by a smartphone-app.

Background: Given the rapid increase in the prevalence of prostate cancer (PCa), identifying its risk factors and developing suitable risk prediction models has important implications for public health. We used machine learning (ML) approach to screen participants with high risk of PCa and, specifically, investigated whether participants with metabolic syndrome (MetS) exhibited an elevated PCa risk.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed with 41,837 participants in South Korea.

Background And Aims: Flower colour is a key feature in plant-pollinator interactions that make the flowers visible amid the surrounding green vegetation. Green flowers are expected to be scarcely conspicuous to pollinators; however, many of them are visited by pollinators even in the absence of other traits that might attract pollinators (e.g.

Wooden breast (WB), spaghetti meat (SM) and white striping (WS) are significant research focuses due to their impact on meat quality. This study examines the relationship between different myopathies in chickens from a commercial slaughterhouse and compares physicochemical traits between breasts with single and multiple myopathies and control (CO-no apparent myopathy). A total of 240 breasts were evaluated for myopathy presence, severity and location, and physicochemical parameters (i.
