Still, football also has its own equivalent to spot fixing, whereby players, including Southampton's Matt Le Tissier, bet on the timing of the first throw-in during a game.
The implied break-evens for this trade would be equivalent to spot prices of $769 below and $1090 above.
A grower wanting to optimise growth whilst accepting a higher cost of weed control, might choose treatments equivalent to spot control 2, operational, CTH-Oct x2 or spot control 5.
Resolving the black hole's shadow from Earth is equivalent to spotting a grapefruit on the Moon, he says.
Given Zeta Geminorum's diameter as seen from Earth, observing it grow and shrink would be equivalent to spotting a basketball on the moon.
Following up with the Hubble Space Telescope last August, Jackson's group trained the infrared-sensitive NICMOS camera on the galaxy and found a faint but intact ring surrounding it--a feat equivalent to spotting a penny held 3 kilometers away.
The angular precision of the combined array--equivalent to spotting a silver dollar on the moon--was sharp enough to detect any discrepancies in the quasar's predicted position as Jupiter drifted past.
A striking comparison is that the interferometers need to spot changes equivalent to the width of a human hair in the distance to the nearest star.
Each distributed precoder is equivalent to a spot in multi-dimensional space.
For example, a grower wanting to minimise costs, whilst accepting a moderate level of growth loss relative to the possible optimum, might choose something equivalent to either spot control 1 or CTH-Oct.
These sequences correspond to the genes arginase (Arg1), ATP synthase, H+ transporting, mitochondrial F1 complex, alpha subunit 1 (Atp5a1), carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase 1 Cps1), heat shock protein 8 (Hspa8), malate dehydrogenase 2 (Mdh2) and tubulin, alpha 1C (Tuba1c/Tuba6) (equivalent to protein spots 5206/5207, 8408, 5811, 1613, 9208 and 408, respectively).
