Totdat ik tijdens het opruimen van de zolder een stapel collegedictaten tegen kwam. En toen dacht ik aan het vak "symmetrie en materie" dat ik in het eerste jaar op de universiteit had gehad. Bij het symmetrie deel van dit vak werden alle soorten symmetrie besproken die in moleculen kunnen voorkomen. En ergens ver weg stond me nog bij dat één van die soorten symmetrie iets van translatie in de naam had. Ik moest het opzoeken, maar inderdaad, de meest eenvoudige symmetrie is P1; translatie symmetrie:
This months topic for the abstract challenge is: translation. A difficult topic, my usual approach to these challenges is just see what pops into my mind and then make it, but this month absolutely nothing popped ito my mind. Until, while cleaning out the attic, I came upon some old readers from college. Then I thought about one of the courses I took, it was called symmetrie and matter. The symmetrie part discussed the different kinds of symmetrie that can be present in molecules. And somewhere in the back of my mind Was the fact that there was a kind of symmetrie that had translation in it's name. I had to look it up, but indeed: the most simple form of symmetrie is called translational symmetrie (P1).

great to see English translation on your blog! I check it from time to time to see what you are up to.
However, it was a struggle to figure out enough words to understand. Is the 'translation' shown in your abstract quilt the biological process in cell growth? I have vague memories of old courses.
Hi Vivian,
Glad to be of help with the english translation. The translation shown in my quiltlet is just a kind of symmetrie. I have studied chemistry, so am not really informed about cell growth. But, now I read your comment, somewhere in the very deep recesses of my mind, I think translation could have something to do with a step in the duplication process of DNA????
