The purpose of this research is to understand the harmony of chromatic and achromatic colors of the traditional Korean dress. The subjects were women＇s college students in Korea and America. Chromatic colon, red, yellow, and green color, were chosen for the color of the Korean jacket, and achromatic colors were chosen for the color of the skirt, and then the colors＇ chroma were controlled and value of color was changed. In addition, the three colors of the jacket were combined with four kinds of the colors＇ tone. Then, the students of both countries assessed about the harmony for 48 colorations which were variously incorporated with the tones of skirt and jacket. The results of research can be summarized as follows. When red jackets were combined with skirts of achromatic colors, students of both counties showed the different views in the range of harmony and disharmony for colorations of white(N9) skin and vivid jacket, and white(N9) skirt and dark jacket, and black(N2) skirt and light jacket, and black(N2) skirt and dull jacket. In the tone of yellow jackets and achromatic skirts, students of both counties showed similar responses in that a light yellow jacket was well matched with dark grey(N4) and black(N2) skirt. While Korean students generally evaluated that coloration was well harmonized when low value color was arranged below, American students thought, that the tones of a harmonized skirt were different, according to the jacket＇s tones. When green jackets were combined with stills of achromatic colors, colorations that showed their different views of both countries were a white(N9) skirt combined with vivid, light, dull jackets, and a light grey(N7) skirt and dull jacket, and a dark grey(N4) skirt and dark jacket. Among 48 stimuli of coloration on the chromatic and achromatic colors, Korean students evaluated 16sets and American students judged 28 sets as harmonized colors. Therefore, it came to the conclusion that Korean students had the sense of harmonious coloration of more narrow range than American students.

Being an element of plastic arts and a language of plastic forms, the color white has significant potential for improving the quality of physical environment. Colors are dealt with scientifically in chromatics, and also often become an interesting topic when analyzing a society and its history and culture. Thus, an in-depth study of the symbolism of color white and, of white pigment are required because the color has not only an important chromatic value and this should be understood a great deal, but also been the important symbol of a culture in a particular period. This paper examined the significance of the color white identified in Asian and Western cultures based on scientific and psychological understanding of the color. This also analyzed a few major white pigments, then demonstrated different methods of using the pigments and various techniques of expression used by Asian and Western painters. In addition, the paper attempted to raise awareness of the color white as chromatic color over non-color by examining the contrasting viewpoints on the color, and the changes in the viewpoints over time and place.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of bulk fermentation on chemical, chromatic, and organoleptic characteristics of burley leaf tobacco. The pile of ferment processing was taken up 32 days under the conolitions of leaf moisture contents of $28\pm1%$, with a pressure of some 200kg/$m^2$ within a closed room (mean air temperature and relative humidity ; 20.5$^{\circ}C$ and 58.7%). The pile was opened up and reconstructed two times when the maximum inside temperature reached at $45~46^{\circ}C$. The nicotine content was decreased, but amomnia contents and pH were significantly increased by bulk fermentation. Otherwise, the contents of total nitrogen, total volatile base, organic acids, and fatty acids were not affected by same treatment. The value of L(black to white), a(red to green) and b(yellow to blue) in chromatic characteristics were significantly decreased by bulk fermentation. In sensory test of the cigarettes made by addition of the tormented tobacco leaves after toasting in proportion of 19-25%, no negative characteristics in irritation, taste, and preference were detected in comparison with normally processed cigarettes(19%, 2 years fermentation, toasting). The results suggest that bulk fermentation may be useful to increase the proportion of burley leaf tobacco in the cigarettes and to shorten the period of storage for aging.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to analyze skin reactions induced by ultraviolet irradiation using digital imagery. Methods : We recruited 15 women and ultraviolet irradiation was applied to their lumbar area. (The degree of inflammatory reaction was set on the basis of the third erythema dose. Image analysis was divided by Photoshop CS (8 bit RGB scale and gray scale). Then, images were processes using Image Pro Plus 4.5 program analyzing R, G, B, chromatic red value, luminance value and gray value. Results : As a result of analyzing changes in RGB scale, there were statistically significant differences in R, G, and chromatic red values. As a result of analyzing changes in gray scale, there were statistically significant differences in gray value. Analysis of changes in B and luminance values showed that there was no statistically significant difference. Conclusion : This study found that ultraviolet irradiation had influence on RGB and gray scale. These results suggest that changes to digital images on skin reaction by ultraviolet irradiation are related to erythema. In particular, these changes are related to R and gray values.

This study was carried out to evaluate the correlations among degree of carbonization, chemical components and chromatic characteristics, and to establish the criterion of carbonizaion in leaf tobacco during aging storage. The flue-cured (B2O) and burley (B2T) leaf tobaccos were redried with conventional practices for each other type, and moisture contents of leaf tobaccos were adjusted to 13, 15, 17 and 19% after redrying. The leaf tobaccos were packed in carton box and stored for 8 months in the controlled-environment rooms($35^{\circ}C$, 65% R.H. and $40^{\circ}C$, 80% R.H.). Degree of carbonization, chemical components, and chromatic characteristics(L ; black-white, a ; red to green, b ; yellow to blue) were invetigated every month. Carbonization Index (C.I.) was established as (equation omitted) in accordance with degree of carbonization in two types. The C.I. value of flue-cured leaf(56.5) for slight carbonization was higher than that of burley leaf(48.0). C.I. and rate of usable leaf, L and b were positively correlated in two types. C.I. was significantly shown positive correlation with pH in two types. The correlations between the predicted and the observed values of slight carbonizating times(month after storage) using C.I. and pH were positive significant in two types. The results suggest that cabonization index may be useful to forecast and prevent the carbonization, and pH may be useful to estimate cabonization indirectly for flue-cured and burley leaves during aging storage.

Since the Abbe number is a value representing the chromatic dispersion of a transparent optical medium, its measurement is essential for multicolor or white light applications of an optical medium. In this study, the Abbe number in a transparent organic thin film was measured through a simple double-slit experiment, and the results agreed with that calculated from a known dispersion formula for this medium. Unlike conventional methods that calculate the Abbe number from the refractive indices measured at three specific wavelengths using dedicated equipment, the method proposed in this study is a very simple experiment to obtain the Abbe number of new optical media without measuring the refractive indices. We demonstrated that experiments at the undergraduate optics level can be utilized to measure the chromatic dispersion of optical media.

This paper proposes a multi-level vector error diffusion method using 64 primary colors to improve color impulse artifact in bright region. Vector error diffusion method causes color impulse artifact in bright region because we only use the Euclidean distance measure in quantization process. In order to reduce this artifact, the proposed method divides input color into chromatic color and achromatic color according to chroma value. In the case of chromatic color, input color is classified into bright region, middle bright region, and dark region according to lightness value. N candidate primary color is organized using lightness difference between input vector and 60 chromatic primary color vector in the case of bright region. Then, primary color with minimum vector norm between input vector and N candidate primary color in addition to 4 achromatic primary colors is selected as output color. As a result of experiments, the proposed method showed visually pleasing halftone output.

Multi-scaled retinex algorithm is generally used to enhance the local contrast and remove the illuminant component. However, if the chromatic distribution of an original image is not uniform and dominated by a certain chromaticity, the chromaticity of resulting image depends on the dominant chromaticity of the original image, thereby inducing the color distortion. In this paper, a modified multi-scaled retinex method to reduce the influence of the dominant chromaticity in the image is proposed using a average chromaticity of original image and global illuminant chromaticity. In addition, to compensate saturation, the chroma value of the resulting image is enhanced based on that of the original image in the CIELAB space.

Mulberry fruit powder was substituted for wheat flour in pound cake recipes in amounts of 0%(control), 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. We measured the specific gravity of the dough, specific loaf volume, dough yield, baking loss, moisture content, pH, color, identified the texture, and conducted a sensory evaluation for each pound cake. Moisture content increased according to the amount of mulberry fruit powder, but specific gravity, dough yield, and pH decreased. Specific loaf volume and baking loss increased as the amount of mulberry fruit powder increased, but not considerably. The chromatic 'L' and 'b' values were reduced as more mulberry fruit powder was added to more pound cake, While the chromatic 'a' value increased. Texture hardness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness decreased as the pound cake contained more mulberry fruit powder. Cohesiveness did not show any considerable differences beteeen the cakes. A sensory evaluation showed a high preference for the pound cake made with 10% mulberry fruit powder.

For last several decades, the color correction methods have been proposed for HDR(high dynamic range) images. However, color distortion problems take place after correcting the colors such as halos, dominant color as well known. Accordingly, this article presents a novel approach in which the method consists of tone-mapping method and cone response function. In the proposed method, the tone mapping method is used to improve the contrast in the given HDR image based on chromatic and achromatic based on the CIEXYZ tristimulus value, expressed in c/m². The cone response function is used to deal with mismatch between corrected image and displayed image as well as to estimate various human visual effects based on the CMCAT2000 color appearance model. The experimental results show that the proposed method yields better performance of color correction over the conventional method in subjective and quantitative quality, and color reproduction.
