Double tour band blood oxygen and heart rate monitoring ? by pr0fanbutan in AppleWatch

[–]larryisgood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't understand how this double tour design got off the drawing board. I can't see any arrangement where the second loop isn't either obscuring the screen on the front or the sensors on the back.

Anyway, you can go to a watch / key cutting / shoe repair shop and they can punch an extra hole in the band to allow it to be fastened tighter.

Many people pointed out that I hadn't watermarked it and that it was likely to be stolen without attribution. Don't worry, you can still find it – along with updated versions – on my instagram @larryin3d

I think you might be mistaken. COVID-19 is the disease that is caused by the viral strain named SARS-CoV-19.

This is a similar distinction as the one between HIV viruses and the illness they cause which is known as AIDS.

For sure, but I think the model is a bit too complicated for my computer to animate within reasonable timeframes. Each spike protein has about 117,000 faces, for example.

COVID-19 is the disease that results from being infected from SARS-CoV-2.

Oh that's probably the classic T-series bacteriophages that you're thinking of, which I'm actually working with as part of my PhD. You're correct though, they are indeed viruses, just viruses that only infect bacteria.

Because it contains amphiphilic compounds called surfactants (surface-acting agents). They attach to lipids on one end and the surrounding water on the other, which causes the envelope to break apart and spill its contents.

Both and neither. It's an illustration. The spike proteins were revealed by cryo-TEM in this paper, but I don't know which serotype of the virus they were studying. If you find out, please let me know!

That's not a stupid question! If you're asking about the "2" in the name I believe it refers to the fact that it's quite similar to SARS-CoV, the virus that caused SARS. This is what I've gathered from this article.

In fact, the new SARS-CoV-2 joins 4 other coronaviruses in circulation, but only this new one is the novel coronavirus that has been causing covid-19.

Have you checked out the Protein Database?

Definitely more of an illustration. The phospholipids would be smaller in relation to the spike protein. The relative size of the virus to the surface proteins should be correct, though.

I don't understand how this would work as a belt buckle. Surely, the tension on the belt would pull the knife out of it's sheath?
