Experimentul de stimulare a mușchiului unei broaște efectuat de Luigi Galvani. Reacția electrochimică creată de două metale, zinc (Z) şi cupru (C) într-un arc bimetal, în contact cu electroliți dintr-un țesut muscular. Se produce astfel un curent electric stimulativ ce declanșează contracții musculare.

Le scacciapensiero qui donne son titre au quintette opus 36 no 6 [G.336] est un instrument de musique rudimentaire originaire de Sicile[438]. Composé d'une languette métallique fixée à deux extrémités, le joueur tient l'instrument entre ses dents tout en faisant vibrer la languette avec son index[439].
Exemple de forme et longueur d'haptonème (h) chez une algue de la classe Haptophyta, avec certains enroulements hélicoïdaux et ici entre deux flagelles (f). Bien d'autres tailles et formes d'haptonèmes sont trouvés chez les algues de cette classe. Chez certaines espèces, il est vestigial ou inexistant.

Chez certaines espèces, il n'apparait que sous certaines phases de développement (phase motile).

English: This artist’s impression shows a gas giant planet circling the two red dwarf stars in the system OGLE-2007-BLG-349, located 8 000 light-years away. The planet — with a mass similar to Saturn — orbits the two stars at a distance of roughly 480 million kilometres. The two red dwarf stars are a mere 11 million kilometres apart. The artist's impression is based on observations made with Hubble that helped astronomers confirm the existence of a planet orbiting The two stars in the system. The system is too far away for Hubble to take an image of the planet. Instead, its presence was inferred from gravitational microlensing. This phenomenon occurs when the gravity of a foreground star bends and amplifies the light of a background star that momentarily aligns with it. The particular character of the light magnification can reveal clues to the nature of the foreground star and any associated planets. The Hubble observations represent the first time such a three-body system has been confirmed using the gravitational microlensing technique.

This is an exaggerated example of a 3D object's geometrically being reduced using a level of detail technique. LOD0 is the highest detail version of the object and each subsequent LOD reduces the quality of the object. A change without intermediate steps from LOD1 to LOD2 will be obvious to the viewer.

Yra manoma, kad ALF veikla prasidėjo 1981 m., kai ši beždžionė buvo nelegaliai išlaisvinta ALF aktyvistų iš PETA organizacijos pastato – tai buvo padaryta siekiant užkirsti kelią tolimesniam mokslinių eksperimentų vykdymui su beždžione, kurią PETA galėjo būti teismo priversta grąžinti laboratorijai.[6]
English: Domitian, one of the Silver Spring monkeys, in a restraint chair in 1981 inside the laboratory of Edward Taub at the Institute of Behavioral Research in Silver Spring, Maryland. PETA contacted the police, who raided the laboratory on September 11, 1981, and charged Taub with 119 counts of animal cruelty, leading to a conviction on six counts, overturned on appeal. For confirmation of the monkey's name, and that this is one of the Silver Spring monkeys, see Carbone, Larry. What Animal Want: Expertise and Advocacy in Laboratory Animal Welfare Policy. Oxford University Press, 2004, p. 76, figure 4.2. Images of the monkeys became iconic after PETA distributed them widely in the media with the caption, "This is vivisection.

Central Bank of Ireland ("CBI") regulates QIAIFs.  When Irish public tax scandals concerning the Section 110 SPV, also regulated by the CBI, emerged in 2016–2017, the CBI upgraded the little-used LQIAIF,[1] to give the same benefits as Section 110 SPVs, but with full confidentiality and tax secrecy.[2]
The Central Bank of Ireland is Ireland's central bank, and as such part of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB). It is also the country's financial services regulator for most categories of financial firms. It was the issuer of Irish pound banknotes and coinage until the introduction of the euro currency, and now provides this service for the European Central Bank. The Central Bank was founded on 1 February 1943 and since 1 January 1972 has been the banker of the Government of Ireland in accordance with the Central Bank Act 1971,which can be seen in legislative terms as completing the long transition from a currency board to a fully functional central bank. Its head office was located on Dame Street, Dublin from 1979 until 2017. Its offices at Iveagh Court and College Green also closed down at the same time. Since March 2017, its headquarters are located on North Wall Quay, where the public may exchange non-current Irish coinage and currency (both pre- and post-decimalization) for euros, as well as High Value Euro Currency Bank Notes and Mutilated Currency. It also operates from premises at nearby Spencer Dock. The Currency Centre at Sandyford is the currency manufacture, warehouse and distribution site of the bank.
