Disruptive coloration and binocular disparity: breaking camouflage [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019 Many species employ camouflage to disguise their true shape and avoid detection or recognition. Disruptive coloration is a form of camouflage in which high-contrast patterns obscure internal features or break up an animal's outline. In particular, edge enhancement creates illusory, or ‘fake’ depth edges within the animal's body.

Edge-Enhanced Disruptive Camouflage Impairs Shape Discrimination [PDF]
i-Perception, 2019 Disruptive colouration (DC) is a form of camouflage comprised of areas of pigmentation across a target’s surface that form false edges, which are said to impede detection by disguising the outline of the target.

The Mechanisms that Drive Disruptive Innovation [PDF]
, 2012 Disruptive innovation as a theory lacks concrete definition and is often misinterpreted in the literature. Previous studies dealing with the phenomenon largely focus on the process of market disruption and the factors that drive the process.

A System of Joyful Colour and its Disruptions: Architectural Colour in the German Democratic Republic [PDF]
Architectural Theory Review, 2014 This essay examines the debates around colour in East German architecture from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s. It traces the gradual relinquishing of the attempt to determine principles for the colouring of socialist architecture based on an idealised conception of socialist society as inducing “joy in life” (Lebensfreude).

Semantic impairment disrupts perception, memory, and naming of secondary but not primary colours.
Neuropsychologia, 2015 To investigate how basic aspects of perception are shaped by acquired knowledge about the world, we assessed colour perception and cognition in patients with semantic dementia (SD), a disorder that progressively erodes conceptual knowledge. We observed a previously undocumented pattern of impairment to colour perception and cognition characterized by: (

Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture (PCTOC), 2023 Abstract Potato is an important part of the traditional Norwegian diet, and the crop faces several challenges with respect to pests and diseases, as well as the increasingly challenging changes in climate. Genome editing may provide tools to improve the resilience of Norwegian potato cultivars to new climate challenges.

Characterization of four polymorphic genes controlling red leaf colour in lettuce that have undergone disruptive selection since domestication [PDF]
Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2019 Summary Anthocyanins protect plants from biotic and abiotic stressors and provide great health benefits to consumers. In this study, we cloned four genes ( Red Lettuce Leaves 1 to 4: RLL 1

Exploring and describing management action for the pursuit of disruptive innovation [PDF]
, 2004 Disruptive Innovation as a theory is often misunderstood and as a term it tacks clear definition. Moreover, there is an absence in existing research of a coherent framework to explain the qualitative factors that management practitioners face when ...

A disruption of colour priming following continuous theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation
Cortex, 2012 It is well established that the presentation of one visual attribute (e.g., colour, motion) can improve the likelihood of the same attribute being detected on a subsequent trial (Tulving and Schacter, 1990). There is growing evidence to suggest that this effect is driven in a bottom-upmanner (Maljkovic and Nakayama, 1994), which is dependent upon ...
