in biology, the unit of structure and function of which all plants and animals are composed. The cell is the smallest unit in the living organism that is capable of integrating the essential life processes.he size of the nucleolus is a function chiefly of the cellâs ribosome requirement; the nucleolus is, therefore, especially large in a cell that intensively synthesizes proteins. Protein synthesis, the end result of chromosome function, occurs mainly in the cytoplasm.
In physical oceanography, the significant wave height (SWH or H s) is defined traditionally as the mean wave height (trough to crest) of the highest third of the waves (H 1/3).
In a wave spectrum with a significant wave height of 47 feet, the highest 10% of waves (H1/10) would equal 1.27 x 47 = 60 ft. And the theoretical maximum wave height in that spectrum is 94 feet (2 times Hs)!! Prudent mariners know the physical limits of their vessels with respect to wind speed and wave height.
