Abstract The lisianthus culture is demanded to produce cut flowers and pot vases, grown in a greenhouse using advanced techniques. The present study aimed to evaluate the pigments of different lisianthus cultivars in different photoselective shade nets. The cultivars Flare Deep Rose (pink), Echo Blue BL (purple) and Allemande White BI (white) were cultivated under light-diffusing polyethylene film cover and blue and red color photoselective nets with a shading capacity of 30%, in addition to the control treatment, without the use of the net. The results showed higher values of chlorophyll b and total in the red photoselective net, independent of the cultivar. Leaf colorimetry showed the most intense shade of green was from the cultivar Echo Blue BL. On the other hand, the control showed more intensity, with no significant difference in the leaf green intensity on the blue and red shade nets. In the petals, the cultivar Echo Blue BL showed a more intense blue shade in the red net, however low grade of anthocyanin than in the blue one. In the anthocyanin pigment, this cultivar had lower levels in the treatment of the red net. The results indicate that the use of photoselective shade nets in the culture of lisianthus changes the content of the pigments studied, in varying intensity, depending on the cultivar.

This study is focused on the behavior of the cream-firing clays from Opoczno region (Poland). The ceramic masses on which tests were carried out consisted of cream-firingBorkowice clay and dolomite in two different grain sizes as an additive that changes the color of ceramic materials. Test samples were prepared by plastic method and fired at range of 1100–1240 °C. Phase composition of theinvestigated materials was characterized by XRD method with quantitive analysis of the amorphous phase determined by the Retvield technique.Color properties of the surface of the obtained ceramic materials were determined in CIE-Lab color space. The phase composition of the obtained ceramics depends on the firing temperature. The color of the surface of the ceramic materials also depends on the firing temperature. There was a tendency to decrease the brightness, decrease the blue shade, and increase the yellow shade of the surface of materials with increasing the temperature. The conducted tests allowed to conclude that the color of ceramic materials depends on their phase composition. The most important role in the formation of color correspond to the amorphous phase, formed during the process. The lower content of the amorphous phase in the material allows to obtain brighter products with a lower proportion of yellow, and therefore closer to white. Moreover, following tests were carried out: total water absorption, total open porosity, linear shrinkage, and flexural strength. With increasing the temperature, total water absorption and total open porosity decrease, and total linear shrinkage increases due to the progressive sintering process. Flexural strength increases with the increase of the firing temperature for materials consisting of Borkowice clay. The addition of dolomite introduced new pores into the material, which resulted in an increase in flexural strength at lower firing temperatures and a decrease in flexural strength at higher firing temperatures.

Abstract When grapes reach maturity, they usually experience extremely high-temperature periods in southern China, causing premature leaf senescence, abnormal fruit softening, and fruiting period shortening. Their quality and production efficiency are also severely affected. ‘Jumeigui’ grapes were examined in terms of fruit quality and leaf senescence under shading treatments; green, blue, black, and gray aluminum foil nets were used for shading, and their spectra were measured. At the same density, shade net color significantly affected cooling and shading efficiencies, and gray net had the best light transmission and cooling effect. Shading treatment significantly alleviated abnormal grape softness during hot periods. Total soluble solids (TSS) content and grape coloration were affected under gray, blue, and green shade nets. TSS exceeded 18% under gray, blue, and green nets, meeting the requirements of first-class high-quality fruit. However, peel coloration was not notably affected under gray and blue shade nets, while the non-shading treatment produced clear heat-stress damage, especially on the edges of old leaves. The net photosynthetic rate of the bottom five old leaves under the non-shading treatment was significantly lower than that under the shading treatment, indicating that high light and heat caused premature leaf senescence. In summary, colored shade nets can reduce the temperature and light in the greenhouse, while alleviating premature senescence of perennial grape plants. However, the quality of the grapes treated using black shade nets was poor; superior quality was achieved using gray and blue shade nets. These results can be applied in future cultivation facilities during high-temperature periods.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of coloured shade-nets (pearl, blue, or red all with a 50% shade index) compared to non-shaded plants on quality traits on the Discoa and ICE 40102 (green-leaf) and Eglantine (red-leaf) lettuce cultivars. Total chlorophyll content depended on the shading and lettuce genotype. The chlorophyll a and b contents were higher in shaded than unshaded plants. The cv. Eglantine had the highest total chlorophylls (637.03 μg∙g-1 F.M.) content. The highest carotenoid content was in leaves of cv. Discoa under pearl nets (208.89 μg∙g-1 F.M). The highest total phenols content (76.70±1.9 mg∙g-1 GAE D.M.) was in cv. Discoa under red shade; the highest flavonoids content was for cvs. Discoa (42.97) and Eglantine (42.91 mg∙g-1 RU D.M.) under blue shade. The blue and pearl shade nets resulted in slightly higher flavonoid contents in lettuce leaves compared to unshaded plants. The cv. Eglantine, under blue shade had the highest antioxidant capacity (EC50 - 0.197 mg∙mL-1). Red lettuce cv. Eglantine could be recommended for production due to its higher antioxidant properties. Generally blue shade can be used to retain antioxidant capacity.

Composition, structure, and optical properties of films formed on the surface of niobium during laser processing are presented. Two modes of laser oxidation of niobium are empirically determined. The first mode, using single-pass laser processing, create the blue shade oxide film, the second mode, using multipass laser processing, forms the green shade oxide film. The optical contrast, determined as a difference of reflection coefficients, in the infrared spectrum of the blue oxide film is equal to 0.2 and the green oxide film forms the contrast equal to 0.5. It was found that the niobium blue shade oxide films, obtained after laser processing, has stoichiometry NbO and the green oxide film has stoichiometryNbO2.

Abstract The genus Physalis L. has great importance in the framework of Brazilian biodiversity especially in the Amazon region. The use of colored shading nets allow manipulating the light spectrum, and thus supplying the appropriate quantity and quality of light for each species and maximizing production. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of shade nets on fruit production and qualitative parameters of four species belonging to genus Physalis. The experimental design was random blocks with a 4 x 5 factorial scheme, four species of Physalis (P. peruviana, P. pubescens, P. minima and P. ixocarpa) and four colors of shade nets (white, blue, red and black), besides the control treatment under full sun exposure. Fruits were collected weekly and evaluated for longitudinal and transversal diameter and biomass with and without a calyx. Finally the percentage of calyx biomass compared to the total fruit biomass, number of fruits per plant and production were determined. A differentiated response was found among the species regarding the coloring of the converter shade nets. Plants of P. peruviana had the best productive and qualitative parameters of fruits when cultivated in full sunlight or under white shade nets, P. pubescens and P. minima when cultivated in full sunlight or under white and blue shade nets, and P. ixocarpa under red or black shade nets.

Natural indigo dye was applied on silk fabric by using pad-batch and pad-dry techniques in the present of thiourea dioxide and sodium hydroxide. Alum (AlK(SO4)2), ferrous sulfate (FeSO4), and stannous chloride (SnCl2) were used as mordants. The colour of each dyed fabric was investigated in terms of the L*, a*, b* and K/S values. The effects of different dye concentrations with the use of applying padding techniques in the dyeing process was investigated. The colour fastness to washing, light, rubbing, water, and perspiration of dyed silk fabrics was performed according to the present ISO standard. Silk fabric was dyed by using a natural indigo colourant, applying one with metal mordant and one without giving the silk fabric a blue shade. However, a greenish blue shade was found as a dyeing result by adding a ferrous sulfate mordant. The fastness properties of washing, water, perspiration, and rubbing were very good level. However, a fair rating level was observed using a light fastness dyeing technique.
