The aims of this study were to evaluate the effect of native acidity upon dental hard tissues by measuring pH in mouth-rinse, which is on the market, and to evaluate even influence of dental stain caused by mouse-rinse given using for a long time. The experimental group was used Garglin, Nextcare, Listerine, and Hexamedin. The control group was used sterile distilled water. As a result, pH was indicated to be low in Nextcare(4.70) and Listerine(4.16). In a change of color tone, $b^*$ value of indicating Yellow-blue showed the lower value than the early color tone in all groups. There was statistical significance in Nextcare and Listerine. ${\Delta}L^*$ value of indicating light -dark gets darker after using Nextcare, Listerine and Hexamedine. A change(VHN) in surface hardness of enamel showed reduction in surface hardness after 14 days in Nexcare and Listerine. As a result of confirming a change in enamel surface by using Scanning Electron Microscopy, the erosion aspect on the enamel surface could be confirmed in groups of Nexcare and Listerine. Ra value in surface roughness of enamel could be observed the enamel surface, which got rougher compared to other experimental groups.

An experimental study to investigate the effect of self-cleaning of mortar mixed with photocatalyst was performed out in this study. Test parameters included the photocatalyst content and surface roughness of the specimens. The experimental mortar specimens were manufactured by mixing a photocatalyst by cement weight of 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5% and 10.0%. In addition, the surface roughness was categorized into three cases. They included flat surface condition, little surface roughness(medium roughness), and high surface roughness. After mortar specimens were cured for 28 days, they were illuminated by an ultraviolet lamp for 24 hours and immersed in a methylene blue conditioning solution for 12 hours. Thereafter, an ultraviolet(UV) lamp was illuminated on the specimens for 48 hours in an experimental chamber and then the color change of methylene blue solution was measured by using a spectrophotometer over illuminating time of UV lamp. The color change of methylene blue tended to increase as photocatalyst contents increased. Test results meant that photocatalyst was effective for self-cleaning in mortar. However, the color change of the methylene blue solution did not show a noticeable tendency at different surface roughness conditions. It might be due to the uneven photocatalyst distribution on the surface of mortar specimens.

This study discusses a mercury amalgam gilding technique and examines how the color, surface and section of the gilt layer changes as the condition of heat treatment with mercury amalgam gilt object is changed. Some previous studies have mentioned reasons for various colors on gilt bronze artifacts depending on gilding manufacture and environment. However, reason for reddish color with gold on the artifacts' surface brought on high temperature corrosion has yet to be discussed and analyzed. A methodology was found in representing the mercury amalgam gilding technique and heat treatment test. According to the result of the heat treatment test, in the conditions of higher temperature and longer time, the oxidized layer on the gilt layer was distributed more widely and in the part when the oxide layer was eliminated, the gilt layer with a reddish color was observed. Moreover, in the surface observation of the specimen on which yellow and reddish colors were agitated, the changing aspects of its surface condition differed by colors. When investigated the section, it was observed that the void density and size became larger. After a test, the surface components changed; the temperature of heat treatment increased, component ratio of Hg and Au decreased gradually but component ratio of Cu increased. In regard to the gilt layer, as the time was longer and the temperature became higher for the heat treatment, the component ratio of Au and Cu by layers tended to change in inverse proportion. It is concluded that gilding techniques and the burial environment can make a difference in the surface color of the gilt layer on the gilt bronze artifacts, the high temperature corrosion that occurs by heat after they are manufactured is also one of the factors that affects their surface color.

The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal mixing conditions of different amounts of Jinuni beans and fresh cream for the preparation of Jinuni bean chocolate. An experiment was designed using the central composite design of the response surface, which required 10 experimental treatments including 2 replicates for the Jinuni bean and fresh cream. The compositional and functional properties of the treatments were measured and these values were applied to the mathematical model. A canonical form and perturbation plot showed the influence of each ingredient on the mixture products. The color value L (Lightness) decreased with an increase in the amount of added Jinuni bean but the color value a (redness) and color value b (yellowness) did not change. In addition, the hardness value increased with the addition of the Jinuni bean. The results of the sensory evaluation showed very significant differences in the values of the texture (p<0.01), taste (p<0.05), and overall quality (p<0.01). As a result, the optimum formulations as determined by the numerical and graphical methods were 27.98 g of Jinuni bean and 67.0 g of fresh cream.

In this study, concentration levels of beet powder (BP) and caramel color (CC) were optimized to simulate beef color in meat analogs before and after cooking. The central composite design of response surface methodology (RSM) was used to set the levels of BP and CC, and the CIE L^*, CIE a^*, and CIE b^* were selected as the responses for RSM. After optimization, myoglobin-free beef patties were prepared with three optimized levels of BP and CC. When raw, all the patties had the same color as natural beef; however, CIE L^*, CIE a^*, and CIE b^* were statistically different from those of beef after cooking (p<0.05). Moreover, the use of BP and CC induced "browning" after the cooking process, with no excessive yellow color. Therefore, based on the overall desirability in the color optimization using RSM, the combination of BP (1.32%) and CC (1.08%) with the highest overall desirability can be used to simulate the color change of beef in meat analogs.

Heating and Steaming treatments were carried for deresinning and color change of radiata pine juvenile wood. The boards of 20 mm and 30 mm thicknesses were heat-treated at $150^{\circ}C$ and $220^{\circ}C$ for 2, 4 and 6 hours and steamed at $100^{\circ}C$ for 6, 24 and 48 hours. For extracting residual resin in treated boards and measuring wood surface color, alcohol-benzene solution and a portable colorimeter were used, respectively. The board of 20 mm thickness were deresined effectively by heating at over $150^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours or steaming for 6 hours while that of 30 mm thickness by steaming for 48 hours. For the board of 30 mm thickness treatment time was more influencing on deresinning than treatment temperature. The steamed boards showed higher $L^*$ than the heat-treated for both thicknesses. $L^*$ decreased with the increase of treatment temperature and time, but for the board heat-treated at $220^{\circ}C$ it didn't change after 4 hours. The surface color of the boards heat-treated at $220^{\circ}C$ for 4 and 6 hours were obviously changed, but those at $150^{\circ}C$ were not. It was revealed that the core of the heat-treated board was color changed as well as the surface.

We used holes defined by color similarity (Experiment 1) and binocular disparity (Experiment 2) to study how the inner contour of an object (i.e., boundary of a hole in it) is encoded in visual working memory. Many studies in VWM have shown that an object's boundary properties can be integrated with its surface properties via their shared spatial location, yielding an object-based encoding benefit. However, encoding of the hole contours has rarely been tested. We presented objects (squares or circles) containing a bar under a change detection paradigm, and relevant features to be remembered were the color of objects and the orientation of bars (or holes). If the contour of a hole belongs to the surrounding object rather than to the hole itself, the object-based feature binding hypothesis predicts that the shape of it can be integrated with color of an outer object, via their shared spatial location. Thus, in the hole display, change detection performance was expected to better than in the conjunction display where orientation and color features to be remembered were assigned to different parts of a conjunction object, and comparable to that in a single bar display where both orientation and color were assigned into a single bar. However, the results revealed that performance in the hole display did not differ from that in the conjunction display. This suggests that the shape of holes is not automatically encoded together with the surface properties of the outer object via object-based feature binding, but encoded independently from the surrounding object.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of pavement design changes on user perceptions, with the objective of enhancing safety in urban streetscape. A total of 72 participants were recruited, and the study focused on alleyways in areas with a high risk of crime. Employing the Semantic Differential (SD) methodology, an assessment was conducted to gauge participants' perceptions of three different pavement types (A-type, B-type, C-type) as well as the existing pavement. The results indicated that the C-type pavement, characterized by vibrant and harmonious color palettes and patterns, elicited the highest levels of perceived safety, comfort, and openness among users. This signifies that physical environmental improvements through color design can mitigate the feelings of insecurity and foster emotional stability. Therefore it is recommended to implement various color schemes and pattern designs to road surface for enhancing user safety in high-risk urban areas.
