Children's low vegetable consumption requires effective strategies to enhance preference for and intake of vegetables.
The present study examined how the effects of mystery enhance preference for housing façades as versus landscapes.
Moreover, results of a follow-up survey suggested a definite possibility that the novelty of housing façades helped mystery to enhance preference for housing appearance the most.
Thus, it appears that virtually all of the residual effects in these figural color preferences, after variations due to single and pair preferences have been removed, can be attributed to some form of contrast, all of which generally enhance preference for the figural color.
Women in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle display enhanced preference for feminized or self-resembling male and female faces (DeBruine 2005; Jones et al. 2005a)—in other words, those that suggest a relatively high probability of offering support (DeBruine 2005; Perrett et al. 1998).
Using survey data from a sample of 356 Chinese consumers, the analysis shows that existential insecurity and social insecurity enhance consumers' preference for nostalgic products.
Using conditional mutagenesis and viral-mediated gene transfer, we found that G9a down-regulation increased the dendritic spine plasticity of nucleus accumbens neurons and enhanced the preference for cocaine, thereby establishing a crucial role for histone methylation in the long-term actions of cocaine.
ERK5 was found to stimulate FSHβ promoter activity and to increase FSHβ mRNA levels, as well as enhancing its preference for low GnRH pulse frequencies.
Unlike APOBEC3G, AID shows enhanced mutational preference for small RNA genes (tRNAs, snoRNAs and snRNAs) suggesting a putative role for RNA in its recruitment.
Many cultured cells prefer glutamine over glucose as their main energy source, and imposing stressful events to the cell culture is reported to enhance the preference for glutamine over glucose as energy substrate.
The results of this experiment are roughly consistent with art theorists' claim that hue contrast enhances people's preference for colors in combinations that contain at least certain kinds of hue contrast (e.g., Chevreul, 1839; Munsell, 1921).
