A colour appearance model based on a uniform colour space is proposed. The proposed colour appearance model, ZCAM, comprises of comparatively simple mathematical equations, and plausibly agrees with the psychophysical phenomenon of colour appearance perception. ZCAM consists of ten colour appearance attributes including brightness, lightness, colourfulness, chroma, hue angle, hue composition, saturation, vividness, blackness, and whiteness. Despite its relatively simpler mathematical structure, ZCAM performed at least similar to the CIE standard colour appearance model CIECAM02 and its revision, CAM16, in predicting a range of reliable experimental data.

The inherent heterogeneity, poor compatibility with polymers, and dark color of lignin limit its application in composites. In this study, original lignin (OL) was fractionated sequentially using four green organic solvents to obtain lignin fractions with different chemical structures. These well-defined lignin fractions were then blended with polybutylene succinate (PBS) to fabricate biocomposites.

This study aimed to compare the bioactive compounds presented in quinoa of various colors, and investigated their inhibitory effect on α-glucosidase activity and the in vitro digestibility of starch. The primary bioactive compounds identified in quinoa included betaine and polyphenols (kaempferol, quercetin, rutin, etc.), with their contents increased as the color of quinoa darkened.

The concentration, character, and distribution of microplastics in coastal marine environments remain poorly understood, with most research focusing on the abundance of microplastics at the sea surface. To address this gap, we conducted one of the first comprehensive assessments of microplastic distribution through the marine water column and in the benthic sediment during the wet and dry season in the coastal waters of the San Pedro Shelf, Southern California, USA. Microplastic concentrations in the water column did not vary significantly across season but were significantly higher in nearshore environments and at the surface of the water column.

By integrating ultraviolet (UV) photocatalytic oxidation digestion with segmented continuous flow analysis technology, an online measurement method and analysis system for the alkaline chemical oxygen demand (COD) in seawater, based on the color-change reaction of potassium permanganate, has been established. This represents the first application of UV photocatalytic oxidation technology in the measurement of COD in seawater. The system effectively overcomes the limitations of high-temperature and high-pressure digestion methods employed in traditional COD analysis.

The detection of pesticide residues in agricultural products is crucial for ensuring food safety. However, traditional methods are often constrained by slow processing speeds and a restricted analytical scope. This study presents a novel method that uses filter-array-based hyperspectral imaging enhanced by a dynamic filtering demosaicking algorithm, which significantly improves the speed and accuracy of detecting pesticide residues.
