1. CURIE

   In computing, a CURIE (or Compact URI) defines a generic, abbreviated syntax for expressing Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs). It is an abbreviated URI expressed in a compact syntax, and may be found in both XML and non-XML grammars. A CURIE may be considered a datatype. An example of CURIE syntax: [isbn:0393315703] The square brackets may be used to prevent ambiguities between CURIEs and regular URIs, yielding so-called safe CURIEs. QNames (the namespace prefixes used in XML) often are used as a CURIE, and may be considered a type of CURIE. CURIEs, as defined by the W3C, will be better defined and may include checking. Unlike QNames, the part of a CURIE after the colon does not need to conform to the rules for XML element names. The first W3C Working Draft of CURIE syntax was released 7 March 2007.The final recommendation was released 16 December 2010.

1. curie

   A curie is a unit of measurement for radioactive substances, named after scientists Pierre and Marie Curie. It measures the activity of the radiation of these substances. It is equivalent to the amount of radiation given off by one gram of radium-226, which is about 37 billion disintegrations per second. However, it's often replaced by the SI unit of radioactivity, the becquerel.

1. Curie

   The Curie is a non-SI unit of radioactivity, named after Marie and Pierre Curie. It is defined as10 While its continued use is discouraged by NIST and other bodies, the curie is widely used throughout the US government and industry. One Curie is roughly the activity of 1 gram of the radium isotope 226Ra, a substance studied by the Curies. The SI derived unit of radioactivity is the becquerel, which equates to one decay per second. Therefore:10 and−11 Another commonly used measure of radioactivity is the microcurie:46 A radiotherapy machine may have roughly 1000 Ci of a radioisotope such as caesium-137 or cobalt-60. This quantity of radioactivity can produce serious health effects with only a few minutes of close-range, un-shielded exposure. The typical human body contains roughly 0.1 μCi of naturally occurring potassium-40.

Examples of curie in a Sentence

1. Seán O'Casey:

   Disease an never be conquered, can never be quelled by emotion's willful screaming or faith's symbolic prayer. It can only be conquered by the energy of humanity and the cunning in the mind of man. In the patience of a Curie, in the enlightenment of a Faraday, a Rutherford, a Pasteur, a Nightingale, and all other apostles of light and cleanliness, rather than of a woebegone godliness, we shall find final deliverance from plague, pestilence, and famine.

2. Fabiola Gianotti:

   She (Curie) had a domestic way of doing physics, she had a lab in her house. She could prepare dinner in her kitchen, then move into her lab. She could have a normal life. Really amazing.
