CrimethInc. Ex-Workers’ Collective : Home Cell Size and Scale Some cells are visible to the unaided eye The smallest objects that the unaided human eye can see are about 0.1 mm long. That means that under the right conditions, you might be able to see an ameoba proteus, a human egg, and a paramecium without using magnification. Smaller cells are easily visible under a light microscope. To see anything smaller than 500 nm, you will need an electron microscope. Adenine The label on the nucleotide is not quite accurate. How can an X chromosome be nearly as big as the head of the sperm cell? No, this isn't a mistake. The X chromosome is shown here in a condensed state, as it would appear in a cell that's going through mitosis. A chromosome is made up of genetic material (one long piece of DNA) wrapped around structural support proteins (histones). Carbon The size of the carbon atom is based on its van der Waals radius.

Brief Answers to Cosmic Questions Structure of the Universe Does the Universe have an edge, beyond which there is nothing? Are the galaxies arranged on the surface of a sphere? Why can't we see the whole universe? Does the term "universe" refer to space, or to the matter in it, or to both? Evolution of the Universe Did the Universe expand from a point? If so, doesn't the universe have to have an edge? More about the Big Bang When they say "the universe is expanding," what exactly is expanding? Structure of the Universe Does the Universe have an edge, beyond which there is nothing? Are the galaxies arranged on the surface of a sphere? Why can't we see the whole universe? If you could suddenly freeze time everywhere in the universe, and magically survey all of creation, you would find galaxies extending out far beyond what we can see today. Does the term "universe" refer to space, or to the matter in it, or to both? Today, the situation is reversed. Evolution of the Universe Did the Universe expand from a point?
What do we want? Our Background We are a team of people with backgrounds in areas of IT, design and business administration with the same vision regarding the future of portable computers. We started to work on this concept in 2009 and finalized it after a few months of intensive work. Our Intentions Our very first steps were not directly related to a production of Rolltop. Objectives Our primary objective is to realize our vision and concept Rolltop and to bring it to the people in the next step. Partner Currently we are in the middle of the partner identification process and development of a final technical Rolltop design, including pre-selection of electronic sub-parts and hardware platform design. If are you interested, please contact us.
Double-Sided Design Solves Painfully Universal USB Problem Sometimes something begs for a simple solution. The nearly-ubiquitous USB port is perhaps the technological poster child for an obvious failure to work both ways (right-side-up or upside-down) despite looking perfectly symmetrical on both sides. Thankfully, and finally, this has been tackled from two directions (appropriately enough): one more idealistic, one more realistic, but both ingenious. Ma Yi Xuan is a student designer who has solved the problem in theory, and in reality by UltraTek‘s new Flipper. In the student version, there is a piece on either side of the interior that slides out of the way to reveal a data connection – which half moves depends on what way the plug is placed into the accepting slot. If you have not encountered the error of normal-style USB plugs, well, it is becoming a bigger issue the more we compute on a daily basis.
Fibonacci Extensions | How to Calculate Fibonacci Extensions For Stocks Most traders know what Fibonacci retracements are but you don't hear very many of them talking about Fibonacci extensions (at least I don't). If you have never heard of them, then get out a pen and some paper. What is a Fibonacci extension? Well, we know that a retracement is a move in a stock that "retraces" a portion of the previous move. But what happens when a stock retraces more than 100% of the prior move? Take a look at this chart... In the first example, AIR pulls back from $25.92 (1) to $23.11 (2). Could we have known that this stock might run into resistance at $26.68 (3)? Take the difference in price between 1 and 2. In the second example... $28.75 - $25.00 = $3.75 x 1.272 = $4.77 + $25.00 = $29.77. So, if you buy pullbacks and you are wanting to take partial profits on a stock, you can calculate this ahead of time. Note: The two common Fibonacci ratios used for calculating extensions are 1.618 and 1.272. 2.07 x 1.618 = $3.35 Microsoft actually reversed at $26.76 (3).
