Abstract This special section contains a selection of six papers from the 42nd American Society Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Computers and Information in Engineering (CIE) Conference that was held St. Louis, Missouri August 14-17, 2022, conjunction with International Design Technical Conferences (IDETC). Nominated by four technical committees namely Advanced Modeling Simulation (AMS), Computer A...

Computability in Europe (CiE) is an informal network of European scientists working on computability theory, including its foundations, technical development, and applications. Among the aims of the network is advancing our theoretical understanding of what can and cannot be computed, by any means of computation. Its scientific vision is broad: computations may be performed with discrete or con...

Counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE) was found to be a rapid, specific method for detecting circulating antibodies to Legionella pneumophila, the aetiologic agent of Legionnaires' disease in human sera. Optimum conditions for performing the test are given. Better precipitin lines are observed when the gel support is neutral, and a result may be obtained in 90 to 180 minutes. Comparison of results...

The classical theory of collision induced emission (CIE) from pairs of dissimilar atoms is studied. This radiation emitted by accelerating dipoles is produced essentially by their overlap and exchange interaction at short range. This classical calculation is based on exact collinear solutions of the trajectories of two spherical particles in a head-on collision under the influence of a Morse po...

We present ion-by-ion cooling efficiencies for low-density gas. We use Cloudy (version 10.00) to estimate the cooling efficiencies for each ion of the first 30 elements (H–Zn) individually. We present results for gas temperatures between 104 and 108 K, assuming low densities and optically thin conditions. When nonequilibrium ionization plays a significant role the ionization states deviate from...

Uzale?nienie Polski od dostaw gazu ziemnego z Federacji Rosyjskiej by?o negatywnie oceniane przez polskie ugrupowania polityczne. Politycy wielu partii podnosili zasadno?? budowy zró?nicowanej struktury importu tego surowca, a wa?n?, rozwa?an? lata koncepcj? energetyczn? by?a wspó?praca Norwegi?. Celem artyku?u jest analiza my?li politycznej Sojuszu Lewicy Demokratycznej oraz Polskiego Stronnic...

The present paper studies the chromaticity gamut of multi-color printing processes. Heptatone (7color) printing – the most promising variant of multi-color printing – offers a significantly larger gamut than a conventional CMYK printing process, approaching CRT and film gamuts. The behavior of the process in the device-independent CIE-XYZ and CIE-L*u*v* colorimetric spaces is explored using the...

The illumination of the environment undergoes both intensity and spectral changes during the 24 h cycle of a day. Daylight spectral power distributions are well described by low-dimensional models such as the CIE (Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage) daylight model, but the performance of this model in non-daylight regimes is not characterised. We measured downwelling spectral irradiance a...

We analyze the color performance and system efficiency of three commonly employed liquid crystal display modes with a blue LED-pumped red and green quantum dots (QDs) backlight. Based on the measured QD emission spectra, we can achieve 115% color gamut in CIE 1931 and 140% in CIE 1976 color space, while keeping the same energy efficiency as conventional backlights. Next, we apply multi-objectiv...

In this paper we present a method for improving the quality of a searchable index: Collaborative Index Enhancement, or CIE. CIE improves the index quality by feeding the results of searches over an index back into that index, so that the current user can harness the e ort and insight of previous users that searched for the same or similar information. We present four prototype enhanced indices ...
