  2. Aspect ratio (image) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(image)

    DVD producers can also choose to show even wider ratios such as 1.66:1, 1.75:1, 1.77:1 and 1.78:1 [1] within the 16:9 DVD frame by hard matting or adding black bars within the image itself. The 16:9 aspect ratio was used often in British TVs in the United Kingdom in the 1990s, and is also used in smartphones, laptops, and desktops.

    It detected 339 X-ray sources in its 2.5-year lifetime. [4] The Einstein Observatory, launched in 1978, was the first imaging X-ray observatory. It obtained high-resolution X-ray images in the energy range from 0.1 to 4 keV of stars of all types, supernova remnants, galaxies, and clusters of galaxies.

    PSR B1919+21 is a pulsar with a period of 1.3373 seconds [4] and a pulse width of 0.04 seconds. Discovered by Jocelyn Bell Burnell on 28 November 1967, it is the first discovered radio pulsar. [ 5 ] The power and regularity of the signals were briefly thought to resemble an extraterrestrial beacon , leading the source to be nicknamed LGM ...

    A phylloquinone, sometimes called vitamin K 1, [16] is the next early electron acceptor in PSI. It oxidizes A 1 in order to receive the electron and in turn is re-oxidized by F x, from which the electron is passed to F b and F a. [16] [17] The reduction of F x appears to be the rate-limiting step. [15]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOD1

    SOD1 binds copper and zinc ions and is one of three superoxide dismutases responsible for destroying free superoxide radicals in the body. The encoded isozyme is a soluble cytoplasmic and mitochondrial intermembrane space protein, acting as a homodimer to convert naturally occurring, but harmful, superoxide radicals to molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1q21.1_deletion_syndrome

    1q21.1 deletion is autosomal dominant, with 18%-50% of deletions developing de novo and 50%-82% inherited from a parent. [ 4 ] [ 1 ] The majority of affected individuals are missing a 1.35 million DNA base pair sequence , also written as 1.35 megabases (Mb), in the q21.1 region of chromosome 1 , though the exact size of the deleted region differs.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_phosphatase_1

    X-ray crystallographic structural data is available for PP1 catalytic subunit. [3] The catalytic subunit of PP1 forms an α/β fold with a central β-sandwich arranged between two α-helical domains. The interaction of the three β-sheets of the β-sandwich creates a channel for catalytic activity, as it is the site of coordination of metal ...
