What's the difference between dichromatic and ornamentation?

Dichromatic


Definition:

  • (a.) Having or exhibiting two colors.
  • (a.) Having two color varieties, or two phases differing in color, independently of age or sex, as in certain birds and insects.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Although the lens did not alter stereopsis, it did produce severe color discrimination losses for normal and dichromatic subjects.
  • (2) Furthermore, it was suggested that the patterns of the panel D-15 test differ by the convergence points among dichromats even of the same type.

  • (4) The results indicate that dichromatic and trichromatic monkeys differ only trivially on tests where performance is based on the contributions of non-opponent mechanisms, that the contribution of spectrally opponent mechanisms to the "brightness signal" is very similar in trichromatic and dichromatic monkeys, and that in increment-threshold discriminations where there are both chromaticity and luminance cues some test wavelengths yield superior performance for trichromats while others appear to favor the dichromat.
  • (5) Both sets of data for the two types of dichromat satisfy linearity properties.
  • (6) Spectral characteristics of X-linked Dichromats (13 protanopes, 20 deuteranopes) were studied with spectral ERG.
  • (7) The results imply that newborns have some, albeit limited, ability to discriminate chromatic from achromatic stimuli and hence, that they are at least dichromats.
  • (8) Measurements were carried out using noninvasive techniques: quantitative computer tomography and dual photon absorptiometry (mono- and dichromatic).
  • (9) Many errors were due to the small number of protanopes averaged and inability to distinguish trichromats from dichromats.

  • (13) Thus the color vision in these animals is dichromatic.
  • (14) Spectrophotometric analysis of this blue dye at different concentrations and with or without heparin showed that the reddish hues are due to dichromatism and not metachromasia.
  • (15) The results suggest that the adult expression of dichromatic color vision does not depend on color experience during the first 4 months of life.
  • (16) Collectively, these and previous results imply that although newborns have at least dichromatic color vision, they possess relatively poor chromatic-achromatic discrimination in two spectral regions - in the short-wavelengths (including stimuli of 470-480 nm) and in the mid-wavelengths (including 565 nm).
  • (17) (3)-(8) are consistent and allow the calculation of a maximum optical density for those pigments which underlie the dichromats' long-wave mechanism.
  • (18) An intense background also changes the relative spectral sensitivity of the dichromats.
  • (19) Temporal properties of the short-wavelength cone mechanism of the California ground squirrel (Spermophilus beecheyi), a dichromat, were explored with single light pulses and pulse trains.
  • (20) Sampling was from the femoral artery through a dichromatic cuvette densitometer.

Ornamentation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or art of ornamenting, or the state of being ornamented.
  • (n.) That which ornaments; ornament.

Example Sentences:

  • (2) Ornamental plants have long been used for indoor decoration.
  • (3) About £60m in public funds, for example, is to be spent on an ornamental footbridge across the Thames, the Garden Bridge , which was originally to have been built from the philanthropy of private enterprise until the estimates of its cost rose by £115m to £175m, at which point the London mayor Boris Johnson pledged £30m from Transport for London, with another £30m promised from George Osborne at the Treasury.
  • (4) Built up at the end of the 19th century to provide large family homes for white-collar workers travelling to the City on the new railway, by the 1930s those homes were being turned into lodging houses, places for single tenants to watch the rain, listen to the mice scuttle, and hang themselves from the ornamental ceiling rose.
