Effect of illumination on perceived temperature.

ABSTRACT: The widely known hue-heat effect, a multisensory phenomenon between vision and thermal sensing, is a hypothesis based on the idea that light and colors affect perceived temperature. However, the application of this effect has not been prevalent in our daily lives. To work towards developing more practical use of the hue-heat effect, we conducted a series of psychophysical experiments to investigate the relationship between perceived temperature and illumination in a well-controlled experimental environment. The results showed that illumination had three types of effects to change our sense of coolness/warmness: creating, eliminating, and exchanging effects. Furthermore, we confirmed the existence of two distinctive time courses for the three effects: creating effect started immediately, but the eliminating effect takes time. These findings provide us with a better understanding of the hue-heat effect and enable us to apply it in everyday life. Paired with the new technologies it can also help with energy conservation.

The temperature effect on perceived income.

Project description:Extensive research has focused on the impact of weather on working capacity and income. However, in regions where income data largely relies on surveys, a pivotal yet underexplored question is whether weather not only influence real income but also introduce biases into survey-collected income data. We analyze longitudinal data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey and corresponding weather records from the Global Surface Summary of the Day, and uncover a negative correlation between survey-day temperature and self-reported annual income from the previous year. With a series of robustness checks, we confirm that the effect is primarily driven by behavioral factors rather than actual income changes. And threshold regression analyses show that the impact of temperature is more pronounced on hot days and relatively subdued or even reversed on cooler days. Further analyses indicate that mood, rather than cognitive capacity, plays a central role in causing the observed downward bias.

Temperature mediated 'photonic hook' nanoparticle manipulator with pulsed illumination.

Project description:Optical forces applied on an object or cell in a non-destructive manner have revolutionised scientific instruments. Optical tweezers and atomic traps are just two representative examples. Curved forces such as photonic hooks are of particular interest for non-destructive manipulation; however, they are extremely weak in low-contrast media. Here, for the first time, we report the amplification of optical forces generated by a photonic hook via pulsed illumination mediated by temperature effects. We show that the optical force generated by the photonic hook subjected to illumination by an incident Gaussian pulse is significantly larger than the optical force generated by the photonic hook subjected to a continuous wave. We notice that under the applied photonic hook generated by a Gaussian beam, a spherical gold nanoparticle experiences a variation in its lattice temperature of ΔT l ∼ 2-4 K, leading to high index resolution. We envision that heat-associated effects can be further mitigated to achieve temperature assisted photonic hook manipulation of nanoparticles in a controllable manner by taking into account the thermo-optical properties of metals. Our findings are particularly important for tracing objects in low-contrast environments, such as optomechanically controlled drug delivery with nanoparticles in intercellular and intracellular media or cellular differentiation, to list a few examples.

Perceived displacement explains wolfpack effect.

Project description:We investigate the influence of perceived displacement of moving agent-like stimuli on the performance in dynamic interactive tasks. In order to reliably measure perceived displacement we utilize multiple tasks with different task demands. The perceived center of an agent's body is displaced in the direction in which the agent is facing and this perceived displacement is larger than the theoretical position of the center of mass would predict. Furthermore, the displacement in the explicit judgment is dissociated from the displacement obtained by the implicit measures. By manipulating the location of the pivot point, we show that it is not necessary to postulate orientation as an additional cue utilized by perception, as has been suggested by earlier studies. These studies showed that the agent's orientation influences the detection of chasing motion and the detection-related performance in interactive tasks. This influence has been labeled wolfpack effect. In one of the demonstrations of the wolfpack effect participants control a green circle on a display with a computer mouse. It has been shown that participants avoid display areas with agents pointing toward the green circle. Participants do so in favor of areas where the agents point in the direction perpendicular to the circle. We show that this avoidance behavior arises because the agent's pivot point selected by the earlier studies is different from where people locate the center of agent's body. As a consequence, the nominal rotation confounds rotation and translation. We show that the avoidance behavior disappears once the pivot point is set to the center of agent's body.

Defect-Induced Gas-Sensing Properties of a Flexible SnS Sensor under UV Illumination at Room Temperature.

Project description:Tin sulfide (SnS) is known for its effective gas-detecting ability at low temperatures. However, the development of a portable and flexible SnS sensor is hindered by its high resistance, low response, and long recovery time. Like other chalcogenides, the electronic and gas-sensing properties of SnS strongly depend on its surface defects. Therefore, understanding the effects of its surface defects on its electronic and gas-sensing properties is a key factor in developing low-temperature SnS gas sensors. Herein, using thin SnS films annealed at different temperatures, we demonstrate that SnS exhibits n-type semiconducting behavior upon the appearance of S vacancies. Furthermore, the presence of S vacancies imparts the n-type SnS sensor with better sensing performance under UV illumination at room temperature (25 °C) than that of a p-type SnS sensor. These results are thoroughly investigated using various experimental analysis techniques and theoretical calculations using density functional theory. In addition, n-type SnS deposited on a polyimide substrate can be used to fabricate high-stability flexible sensors, which can be further developed for real applications.

The Effects of Storage Temperature, Light Illumination, and Low-Temperature Plasma on Fruit Rot and Change in Quality of Postharvest Gannan Navel Oranges.

Project description:Gannan navel orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck cv. Newhall) is an economically important fruit, but postharvest loss occurs easily during storage. In this study, the effects of different temperatures, light illuminations, and low-temperature plasma treatments on the water loss and quality of the Gannan navel orange were investigated. The fruit began to rot after 90 d of storage at 5 °C and 20-45 d at 26 °C. Navel oranges stored at 26 °C had 7.2-fold and 3.1-fold higher rates of water loss at the early and late storage stages, respectively, as compared with those stored at 5 °C. Storage at 5 °C decreased the contents of total soluble solids at the early storage stage and the contents of titratable acids at the late storage stage, whereas storage at 26 °C decreased the contents of total soluble solids at the late storage stage and the contents of titratable acids at the early storage stage, respectively. Application of low-temperature plasma produced by air ionization for 6 min, or continuous blue or red light illumination significantly inhibited water loss within 7 and 21 d of storage at 22 °C, respectively, but exhibited no significant effect on fruit quality. Furthermore, the low-temperature plasma treatment protected against fruit rot. Thus, treatment with low-temperature plasma followed by storage at a low temperature under continuous red or blue light illumination was of potential value as a green technology for preserving Gannan navel orange during storage.

red illumination w/o lincomycin

Project description:To identify putative regulatory elements enriched in the promoters of target genes of the PGE-dependent retrograde signaling pathway, we analyzed 500 bp regions of sequence upstream of genes whose expression was down-regulated by lincomycin. We treated dark-grown Arabidopsis seedlings with lincomycin, sampled them before or after a short illumination and examined the genomic response using Affymetrix ATH1 oligonucleotide microarrays. Differentially regulated genes were ranked based on descending degree of significance (p-value) and the top 50 genes affected by lincomycin in dark grown seedlings and top 50 genes affected by the antibiotic after illumination were selected for further analysis.

Stability of Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Perovskite CH3NH3PbBr3 Nanocrystals under Co-Stresses of UV Light Illumination and Temperature.

Project description:Hybrid organic-inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are among the candidates for color conversion materials in displays, especially in NC-based micro-light-emitting diode (micro-LED) displays. However, these NCs are still lacking long-term stability, which has hindered their large-scale applications. We mimic the working conditions, which include ultraviolet light illumination at 323 K and three different types of atmosphere (N2, vacuum, and air), respectively, to investigate the stability of CH3NH3PbBr3 NCs embedded in the polyvinylidene fluoride matrix. X-ray diffraction results indicate the generation of NH4Pb2Br5, which is produced from the encapsulated CH3NH3PbBr3 NCs in all three atmospheres, and the decomposition generates a large amount of accompanying interface defects at the surface area of NCs, resulting in the significant decrease of the photoluminescence (PL) intensity. This work highlights the stability-related mechanism of CH3NH3PbBr3 NCs under combined external stresses that mimic operating conditions. In addition, this work also suggests a new method for conducting aging tests and contributes to developing effective routes towards higher stability of perovskite NCs.

Event-Based Heat-Related Risk Assessment Model for South Korea Using Maximum Perceived Temperature, Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature, and Air Temperature Data.

Project description:This study aimed to assess the heat-related risk (excess mortality rate) at six cities, namely, Seoul, Incheon, Daejeon, Gwangju, Daegu, and Busan, in South Korea using the daily maximum perceived temperature (PTmax), which is a physiology-based thermal comfort index, the wet-bulb globe temperature, which is meteorology-based thermal comfort index, and air temperature. Particularly, the applicability of PTmax was evaluated using excess mortality rate modeling. An event-based heat-related risk assessment model was employed for modeling the excess mortality rate. The performances of excess mortality rate models using those variables were evaluated for two data sets that were used (training data, 2000-2016) and not used (test data, 2017-2018) for the construction of the assessment models. Additionally, the excess mortality rate was separately modeled depending on regions and ages. PTmax is a good temperature indicator that can be used to model the excess mortality rate in South Korea. The application of PTmax in modeling the total mortality rate yields the best performances for the test data set, particularly for young people. From a forecasting perspective, PTmax is the most appropriate temperature indicator for assessing the heat-related excess mortality rate in South Korea.

The effect of light intensity on microalgae biofilm structures and physiology under continuous illumination.

Project description:The interest by biofilm-based microalgae technologies has increased lately due to productivity improvement, energy consumption reduction and easy harvesting. However, the effect of light, one key factor for system's operation, received less attention than for planktonic cultures. This work assessed the impact of Photon Flux Density (PFD) on Chlorella vulgaris biofilm dynamics (structure, physiology, activity). Microalgae biofilms were cultivated in a flow-cell system with PFD from 100 to 500 [Formula: see text]. In the first stage of biofilm development, uniform cell distribution was observed on the substratum exposed to 100 [Formula: see text] while cell clusters were formed under 500 [Formula: see text]. Though similar specific growth rate in exponential phase (ca. 0.3 [Formula: see text]) was obtained under all light intensities, biofilm cells at 500 [Formula: see text] seem to be ultimately photoinhibited (lower final cell density). Data confirm that Chlorella vulgaris showed a remarkable capability to cope with high light. This was marked for sessile cells at 300 [Formula: see text], which reduce very rapidly (in 2 days) their chlorophyll-a content, most probably to reduce photodamage, while maintaining a high final cell density. Besides cellular physiological adjustments, our data demonstrate that cellular spatial organization is light-dependent.
