Citrine (colour)
Citrine is a colour, the most common reference for which is certain coloured varieties of quartz which are a medium deep shade of golden yellow. Citrine has been summarized at various times as yellow, greenish-yellow, brownish yellow or orange. The original reference point for the citrine colour was the citron fruit. The first recorded use of ''citrine'' as a colour in English was in 1386. It was borrowed from a medieval Latin and classical Latin word with the same meaning. In late medieval and early modern English the citrine colour-name was applied in a wider variety of contexts than it is today and could be "reddish or brownish yellow; or orange; or amber (distinguished from yellow)"."Citrine" in th''Middle English Dictionary''(late medieval English). In today's English citrine as a colour is mostly confined to the contexts of (1) gemstones, including quartz, and (2) some animal and plant names. E.g., the citrine wagtail (''Motacilla citreola''), an Asian bird species with g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Citrine (quartz)
Citrine is a transparent, yellow variety of quartz. Its name is derived from the Latin word ''citrus'' (citron tree), by way of the French ''citrin'' or ''citron'' (lemon). Citrine is one of the most popular yellow gemstones. It is sometimes used as a modern, more affordable alternative to the traditional November birthstone, topaz. Not every yellow quartz is considered citrine, and there is disagreement as to when the name "citrine" is appropriately used. However, quartz stained by iron inclusions or coatings is generally not considered citrine. Natural citrine is rare; most commercially available citrine is produced by heating amethyst or smoky quartz. Natural citrine tends to have a pale yellow, often smoky color, while heat-treated amethyst is typically a deeper yellow, orange, red, or even brown ("burnt amethyst").

Walter Citrine, 1st Baron Citrine
Walter McLennan Citrine, 1st Baron Citrine, (22 August 1887 – 22 January 1983) was one of the leading British and international trade unionists of the twentieth century and a notable public figure. Yet, apart from his renowned guide to the conduct of meetings, ABC of Chairmanship, he has been little spoken of in the history of the labour movement.Dictionary of Labour Biography, when edited by G. D. H. Cole or John Saville, did not include an entry for Citrine, but current editor, Keith Gildart has done so. More recently, labour historians have begun to re-assess Citrine's role.James Moher, Moher "Walter Citrine: A union pioneer of industrial cooperation, 2016 in Alternatives to State-Socialism in Britain,(editors, Peter Ackers & Alastair J.

Charlie Citrine
''Humboldt's Gift'' is a 1975 novel by Canadian-American author Saul Bellow. It won the 1976 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and contributed to Bellow's winning the Nobel Prize in Literature the same year. Plot The novel, which Bellow initially intended to be a short story, is a ''roman à clef'' about Bellow's friendship with the poet Delmore Schwartz. It explores the changing relationship of art and power in a materialist America. This theme is addressed through the contrasting careers of two writers, Von Humboldt Fleisher (to some degree a version of Schwartz) and his protégé Charlie Citrine (to some degree a version of Bellow himself). Fleisher yearns to lift American society through art, but dies a failure. By contrast, Charlie Citrine makes a lot of money through his writing, especially from a Broadway play and a movie about a character named Von Trenck – a character modeled after Fleisher. Another notable character in the book is Rinaldo Cantabile, a wannabe Chicago gangste ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Citrine (Xenosaga)
The following is a list of ''Xenosaga'' characters. Development After ''Xenosaga I'', the character models were redesigned for ''Xenosaga II''. MOMO's and Jr.'s designs became "...taller, slimmer and less child-like", which made MOMO appear slightly older. Shion lost her glasses and had a different outfit, while KOS-MOS gained blue highlights in her hair. When the first two episodes of ''Xenosaga'' were remade in ''Xenosaga I+II'' for the Nintendo DS, they were altered to two-dimensional computer graphics with sprites and visual novel-style dialogue sequences. Playable characters Shion Uzuki KOS-MOS Ziggy :Voiced by (English): Richard Epcar (Episodes II & III)Voiced by (Japanese): Masashi Ebara As revealed in '' Xenosaga: Pied Piper,'' which takes place in T.C. 4667, 100 years prior to the events of ''Xenosaga Episode I,'' Jan Sauer was a Captain in the 1875th Special Operations detachment of the Federation Police Bureau.

Citrine (protein)
Yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) is a genetic mutant of green fluorescent protein (GFP) originally derived from the jellyfish ''Aequorea victoria''. Its excitation peak is 513 nm and its emission peak is 527 nm. Like the parent GFP, YFP is a useful tool in cell (biology), cell and molecular biology because the excitation and emission peaks of YFP are distinguishable from GFP which allows for the study of multiple processes/proteins within the same experiment. Three improved versions of YFP are Citrine, Venus, and Ypet. They have reduced chloride sensitivity, faster maturation, and increased brightness (defined as the product of the Molar absorptivity, extinction coefficient and quantum yield). Typically, YFP serves as the acceptor for genetically-encoded Förster resonance energy transfer, FRET sensors of which the most likely donor FP is monomeric cyan fluorescent protein (mCFP). The red-shift relative to GFP is caused by a Stacking (chemistry), Pi-Pi stacking interac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
