[1] The carbonate saturation profile of the oceans shoaled markedly during a transient global warming event known as the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) (circa 55 Ma). The rapid release of large quantities of carbon into the ocean-atmosphere system is believed to have triggered this intense episode of dissolution along with a negative carbon isotope excursion (CIE). The brevity (120–220...

BACKGROUND In the 1920s and 1930s, disability glare was a topic of great interest in the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE). The Second World War prevented agreement being reached on a standard to quantify disability glare but the Stiles-Holladay formula was widely accepted as such. In 1983, CIE started a new effort to develop a CIE standard making use of research data published in ...

The CIE 1997 Interim Color Appearance Model (Simple Version), abbreviated CIECAM97s, was proposed by CIE TC1-34 in 1997 in response to the needs of the imaging industry for a single, practically-applicable, color appearance model for deviceindependent color imaging applications. CIECAM97s has been successful in focusing a large number of researchers in a single direction to implement, evaluate,...

This note is not to be misunderstood as a general obituary touching all of the many facets of Barry’s personality: the teacher, the researcher, the activist, and, in general, the enthusiastic supporter of good causes. Rather, it should be seen as the author’s personal recollection of the crucial role that Barry played in the transition of Computability in Europe from European network proposal v...

In this paper we approach the problem of fast surface grading of flat pieces decorated with random patterns. The proposed method is based on the use of global statistics of color computed in the CIE Lab space. Two other fast methods based on color histograms [1] and Centile-LBP features [8] are introduced for comparison purposes. We used CIE Lab in order to provide accuracy and perceptual appro...

Many plasma membrane (PM) proteins enter cells nonselectively through clathrin-independent endocytosis (CIE). Here, we present evidence that cytoplasmic sequences in three CIE cargo proteins-CD44, CD98, and CD147-were responsible for the rapid sorting of these proteins into endosomal tubules away from endosomes associated with early endosomal antigen 1 (EEA1). We found that Hook1, a microtubule...

This tutorial is an introductory review of color science. The logical and experimental basis of the CIE standard observer and standard observer tools are emphasized. In addition, some aspects of device-calibration are discussed. Finally, the shortcomings of the CIE standard observer are reviewed in order to ready the student for the more advanced tutorials on color appearance.

BACKGROUND Emerging research implicates ethanol (EtOH)-induced epigenetic modifications in regulating gene expression and EtOH consumption. However, consensus on specific epigenetic modifications induced by EtOH has not yet emerged, making it challenging to identify mechanisms and develop targeted treatments. We hypothesized that chronic intermittent EtOH (CIE) induces persistent changes in his...

The counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE) technique was developed as a diagnostic procedure for ram epididymitis caused by Brucella ovis. CIE test results with sera from naturally and experimentally infected male sheep compared favorably with those obtained by gel diffusion and complement fixation employing the same B. ovis surface R antigen. The main advantage of CIE over gel diffusion consists i...

A total of fifteen laboratories participated in the CIE detector response in-tercomparison which was designed to assess the level of agreement among participating laboratories in the absolute measurement (with respect to SI) of photodetector response in the visible spectral region. Most participants were either commercial laboratories or university laboratories with the National Institute of St...
