In lighting practice, light level is seldom considered when specifying light source color rendition. Many past studies found that sources that can enhance color saturation within a certain range, especially for red colors, were preferred, but the experiments were typically carried out with an illuminance between 200 and 500 lx and the illuminance was seldom varied in individual studies. This article reports a psychophysical study that was designed to test whether illuminance affected color preference. Four nearly metameric stimuli with a correlated color temperature (CCT) around 3000 K and a D uv of −0.005 were produced to illuminate an oil painting at two illuminance levels (that is, 20 and 500 lx). These four stimuli were carefully designed to cover a range of relative gamut (that is, IES R g) from 100 to 125 and enhance the saturation of red and green colors (that is, R cs,h1 and R cs,h8). Observers compared pairs of light stimuli at a same illuminance level in a sequential mode and selected the one under which he or she preferred the color appearance of the painting. It was found that the R g of the most preferred stimulus decreased as the illuminance increased. The stimulus with an R g ≈ 117 was the most preferred at 20 lx, whereas the one with an R g ≈ 100 was the most preferred at 500 lx. The interaction between illuminance and saturation enhancement caused by the stimuli with larger gamut areas revealed the importance of considering illuminance when specifying light source color rendition, especially when an application requires a low light level and good color rendition.
Laryngeal cancer (LC) is a malignant tumor that occurs in the head and neck. Laryngeal cancer is one of the most common cancers of the neck and head, and its prognosis has always been poor. The incidence of LC increased gradually and showed an early rising trend. Laryngeal cancer is rarely studied in relation to immunity, Malignant tumors will change the state of the human body in various ways to adapt to their own survival and avoid the immune system. This study aims to explore the immune molecular mechanism of laryngeal cancer through bioinformatics analysis. The gene expression data was downloaded for 3 microarray datasets: GSE27020, GSE59102, and GSE51985. CIBERSORT algorithm was performed to evaluate immune cell infiltration in tissues between LC and healthy control (HC). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened. Functional correlation of DEGs were analyzed by Gene Ontology, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes. Candidate biomarkers were identified by cytoHubba of Cytoscape. Spearman correlations between the above biomarkers and infiltrating immune cells were explored using R software analysis. The immune cell types of LC and HC were significantly different. Twenty-one DEGs were obtained by cross-screening. The function of DEGs is closely related to the number of immune cells. Five central genes (TNNT3, TNNI2, Desmin, matrix metallopeptidase 9 and cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4) were screened. The HUB gene was demonstrated to have the ability to diagnose LC and HC with good specificity and sensitivity. The correlation between immune cells and biomarkers showed that hub gene was positively correlated with macrophages and dendritic cells, and negatively correlated with CD4 + T cell. TNNT3, TNNI2, Desmin, matrix metallopeptidase 9 and cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 can be used as diagnostic biomarker for LC. Macrophages, dendritic cells and CD4 + T cell may participate in the occurrence and development of LC.

Great efforts have been made to develop color appearance models to predict color appearance of stimuli under various viewing conditions. CIECAM02, the most widely used color appearance model, and many other color appearance models were all developed based on corresponding color datasets, including LUTCHI data. Though the effect of adapting light level on color appearance, which is known as "Hunt Effect", is well known, most of the corresponding color datasets were collected within a limited range of light levels (i.e., below 700 cd/m2), which was much lower than that under daylight. A recent study investigating color preference of an artwork under various light levels from 20 to 15000 lx suggested that the existing color appearance models may not accurately characterize the color appearance of stimuli under extremely high light levels, based on the assumption that the same preference judgements were due to the same color appearance. This article reports a psychophysical study, which was designed to directly collect corresponding colors under two light levels— 100 and 3000 cd/m2 (i.e., ≈ 314 and 9420 lx). Human observers completed haploscopic color matching for four color stimuli (i.e., red, green, blue, and yellow) under the two light levels at 2700 or 6500 K. Though the Hunt Effect was supported by the results, CIECAM02 was found to have large errors under the extremely high light levels, especially when the CCT was low.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
