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. A magnifying glass can help you to see them more clearly, but they will still look tiny. 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.
Old Concrete Factory Converted to Modern Castle Home 25 years ago, a Spanish architect, namely Ricardo Bofill, came across a deteriorating old cement factory. The site was home to rotting silos, vast and varied spaces, and unused building equipment. Where most people would see ruin, Ricardo saw potential. Fast forward a quarter of a century, and the results of his ongoing renovation project are beyond remarkable. The complex is now home to its Gothic-influenced architect Ricardo Bofill, acting as his main residence, as well as numerous vast offices, archives, design labs and various outside patios, decks, gardens and paths. Ivy, cypress, eucalyptus, palm and olive trees have been slowly added and grown throughout the remodel, giving the exterior grounds new life, as well as the interior areas. The décor is simple and aims to not detract too much from the majesty and ethos of the rooms themselves. This article has been tagged in the following...
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. Usually a stock will retrace at one of 3 common Fibonacci levels - 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8%. 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. 2.07 x 1.618 = $3.35 Microsoft actually reversed at $26.76 (3).
