The Test Bits thread.

Post your geekiest photo links here.

These bits, about 0.13 µmm wide in a track about 3 µmm wide, represent a storage density of about 1.7 Gbit/in2. Magnetic images such as these provide important information about the quality of the written bits, their edge acuity, distortions along the track edge, and other important characteristics which contribute to the fidelity with which magnetic information can be written and retrieved.

The testis is another term for the male gonad. (A gonad is a sex gland in which gametes -- mature sexual reproductive cells -- are produced.) The testis is also called a "testicle." The testis can be either of a pair of egg-shaped glands normally situated in the scrotum.

On the Y chromosome, TDF or "testis-determining factor" binds to DNA and regulates genes controlling the development of the testis.

Here we see the full bifurcation diagram. Parameter values outside of the range [-2, 1/4] were not included as all of their orbits go to off infinity. Note how the single attracting fixed point bifurcates repeatedly and then becomes chaotic. Note also the window at c = -1.8.

Hope about if I just try to get my Av to work here?

Lukky, you are an odd duck. Not that that is bad, just stating a fact.

Some hold that to be true, others call my oddness the work of a rank amateur. The danger is that I do amuse myself.
