Abstract

The technique described provides the dentist with a customized shade guide for each patient. A shade selection is made before the preparation appointment. The laboratory can supply the dentist with a preview of the finished restoration (Fig. 4) to provide a second chance to match tooth shades without an extra appointment or remakes.

Sucrose loss and color formation in sugar manufacture.

The chemical reactions contributing to sucrose loss and color formation in evaporators in sugar manufacture (i.e., hydrolysis of sucrose and degradation of monosaccharides at acid pH) are reviewed. A case study of a sugar factory's evaporator system demonstrates that the measurement of small but real losses of sucrose across the process is not possible by conventional sugar factory analyses. Alternative, more accurate techniques (e.g., capillary gas chromatography or high performance ion chromatography [HPIC] with pulsed amperometric detection [PAD]) are considered. In the case study, glucose:sucrose ratios are determined by HPIC, and sucrose loss across the evaporator is estimated to be 1.39% of total sucrose. Loss measurements are thought to be underestimates; reasons for underestimation and the sources of errors are discussed. An approach to a more definitive loss measurement is proposed.

EEMCO guidance for the assessment of skin colour.

UNLABELLED: GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Colour assessment of skin by visual inspection alone may be precise for a given individual although comparison between colours is only possible when they are viewed simultaneously. Subjective colour expression is also difficult to communicate with consistency. The limitations of visual observations may be overcome by colour-order systems and by instrumental measurements using either reflectance spectrophotometry or reflectance colorimetry following the CIE (Commission Internationale de l'Eclariage) recommendations. Image analysis using sensitive colour video cameras is another accurate method to record and compare skin colours. The current instrumental methods have proven both sensitive and reliable. Numerical colour communication expresses colours more precisely than words and allows exact analysis of skin pigmentation and skin colour changes. LEARNING OBJECTIVE: The reader will be introduced to the origins of skin colours and with basic principles of their measurements. Methods of colour reading are reviewed with particular insight into practical procedures, pitfalls and correct interpretation of data.

Spatial-frequency tuning of sustained nonoriented units of the red-green channel.

The existence of nonoriented cells but not of sustained orthogonal masking for achromatic stimuli led to an investigation of the spatial-frequency (SF) tuning of sustained nonoriented color units. For this purpose the Red-Green channel was isolated by the minimum flicker and hue cancellation techniques. Chromatic contrast sensitivity functions (CSF's), threshold elevation (TE) curves, and contrast nonlinearities (TE-versus-mask-contrast curves) were measured with spatially localized vertical color tests and sinusoidal orthogonal color masks by the method of constant stimuli under Gaussian temporal presentation. Results show that (1) color CSF's are a low-pass function of SF, whereas TE curves are a bandpass function of mask SF, and (2) a minimum of six SF-tuned color mechanisms (one low pass and five bandpass functions of SF, with peak SF's of 0.13, 0.5, 2, 4, and 8 cycles per degree and bandwidths of 3.9, 4.4, 2.9, 2.1, 1.1, and 1.2 octaves), similar to oblique-masking color mechanisms, are extracted by the multiple-mechanisms model. These data imply that (1) most of the SF tuning of the broadly oriented color units is already present in the circularly symmetric units, and (2) the latter may be an input to the former.
