Investigations were carried out for available digital image B,G,R data aiming at the derivation of a colour difference measure for the same scene areas imaged in several overlapping images of a photogrammetric bloc. The images were transformed first into the CIE XYZ tristimulus colour space and then into the approximately uniform CIE L*a*b* colour space using both, the known relative spectral s...

The electroluminescence (EL) output power of c-plane light emitting diodes (LEDs) is much higher than that of semipolar {101̄1} and {112̄2} LEDs on sapphire at the same operation current. In order to elucidate the reasons for this behavior, we have fitted the pulsed EL data by the well-known ABC model to extract the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and the carrier injection efficiency (CIE) to c...

We have reanalyzed SUMER observations of a parcel of coronal gas using new collisional ionization equilibrium (CIE) calculations. These improved CIE fractional abundances were calculated using state-of-the-art electron-ion recombination data for K-shell, L-shell, Na-like, and Mg-like ions of all elements from H through Zn and, additionally, Althrough Ar-like ions of Fe. They also incorporate th...

Rapid counter-immunoelectrophoresis (CIE) and radioimmunoassay (RIA) methods for detecting antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) were used to screen nearly 8000 blood donors, including 919 prisoners. The prevalence of anti-HBc in prisoner donors (3.4%) was significantly higher than that in other donors (0.7%). The three HBsAg positive donors in the series were all anti-HBc positive an...

This paper explores the importance of customer-industry engagement (CIE) to peak energy demand by means of a newly developed Bayesian Network (BN) complex systems model entitled the Residential Electricity Peak Demand Model (REPDM). The REPDM is based on a multi-disciplinary perspective designed to solve the complex problem of residential peak energy demand. The model provides a way to conceptu...

This paper is concerned with automatic classification of texts in a medical domain. The process consists in classifying reports of medical discharges into classes defined by the CIE-9-MC codes. We will assign CIE-9-MC codes to reports using either a knn model or support vector machines. One of the added values of this work is the construction of the collection using the discharge reports of a m...

BACKGROUND Claoxylon indicum Hassk. (Euphorbiaceae), named Diu Le Bang, have functions of dehumidification and relieving swelling pain, and is used as a folk medicine to treat Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lumbocrural pain and foot edema in the south of China. The aim of the present study was to investigate the anti-arthritic activity of the ethanol extract of Claoxylon indicum (CIE) on mice with ...

We investigated the role of the cerebellar flocculus in mediating the adaptive changes that occur in the intrinsic properties of brainstem medial vestibular nucleus (MVN) neurons during vestibular compensation. Ipsi-lesional, but not contra-lesional, flocculectomy prevented the compensatory increase in intrinsic excitability (CIE) that normally occurs in the de-afferented MVN neurons within 4 h...

Primates appear at or immediately after the beginning of the Eocene, in the global carbon isotope excursion (CIE) marking the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum. We presented evidence for dispersal of Teilhardina from Asia to Europe to North America in the first 25 kyr of the CIE (first 25 kyr of the Eocene; ref. 1). Beard claims to refute the direction of dispersal by reporting a new, possibly o...
