	Koch snowflake (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Koch snowflake (or Koch star) is a mathematical curve, and one of the earliest fractal curves to have been described.
		The less known Koch curve is the same as the snowflake, except it starts with a line segment instead of a equilateral triangle.
		The area of the Koch snowflake is 8/5 that of the initial triangle, so an infinite perimeter encloses a finite area.

	Snowflake Lights
		A snowflake is a symmetrically shaped piece of falling snow, a crystalline form of water ice.
		The snowflake schema is a more complex data warehouse model than a star schema, and is a type of star schema.
		It is called a snowflake schema because the diagram of the schema resembles a snowflake.

	Snowflakes
		Snowflakes typically form when near-surface air temperatures are not far from the freezing mark.
		Snowflakes are typically bigger - generally about 10 mm (0.4 inches) across and perhaps as large as 20 to 40 mm (0.79 to 1.57 inches).
		The biggest snowflake reportedly measured 15 inches (38 cm) across and fell on January 28, 1887 at Ft Keough, Montana.

	Fractals
		The limit snowflake curve lies between these outer approximations and the inner approximations of the original method.
		For the Koch snowflake, r = 1/3 and N = 4, which results in the fractal dimension D = log 4/log 3.
		In the Koch snowflake program, the SET_UP function divides the segment length by three every time the order is incremented, and the PLOT function calls itself recursively four times; therefore r = 1/3 and N = 4.

	The Symmetry of Snowflakes: Ice Crystal Growth
		Everyone "knows" that snowflakes have six arms (also known as dendrites) and that no two snowflakes can be perfectly alike, but this is not entirely true.
		Triangular snowflakes are rare, and form when the ambient air temperature is about -2 degrees Celsius.
		The growth of snowflakes and other ice crystals is determined by the molecular structure of water itself.

	Microcladia and fractals
		The Koch snowflake is an example of the same, but with successive additions of an equilateral triangle on every side.
		For the Koch snowflake, each side is composed of four smaller sides that could be magnified by a dimension of 3 to be the main side.
		The fractal dimension of a line is 1, and the fractal dimension of a square is 2, a cube 3.

	Popular Botany in the Nineteenth Century
		A family friend, Dr Dods, taught her botany and one of her sisters collected plants for her, which she sketched.
		She wrote and illustrated several other botanical works, including The field, the garden, and the woodland, which was published in 1838 and reached a third edition in less than ten years, and Wild flowers, published in 1852, and which was also issued in sheets for hanging up in schoolrooms.
		Fitch was introduced to botany by William Jackson Hooker (1785-1865), editor of Curtis's Botanical Magazine and Professor of Botany at Glasgow University.

		A pioneer in the application of the highest technical standards to work that had no commercial intent, Porter, despite his travels to the Galápagos Islands, Africa, Iceland, and Antarctica, among other locales, became a master at taking photographs that have a glorious nonspecificity of place.

		Using these manmade snowflakes, Libbrecht hopes to discover "why no two snowflakes are ever the same shape, and why they form myriad patterns of plates and needles and ferns and elaborate baroque stars."
		In any case, Ukichiro Nakaya, at Hokkaido University, was also in on the snowflake incubation act – he's even got a "museum of snow" named after him, apparently designed by Arata Isozaki.
		Snowflakes have temperature thresholds, Nakaya realized, highs and lows a baby flake cannot cross: "If the flake teeters back and forth between these two temperatures, it will grow fast then slow, as the arm-growing mechanism turns on and off.

	Snow Did You Mean snow? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		An interesting question is why the arms of snowflakes are symmetrical, and why no two snowflakes appear to be identical.
		This environment is believed to be relatively spatially homogenous on the scale of a single flake, leading to the arms growing to a high level of visual similarity by responding in identical ways to identical conditions, much in the same way that unrelated trees respond to environmental changes by growing near-identical sets of tree rings.
		However, the concept that no two snowflakes are alike is incorrect: it is entirely possible, but unlikely, that a pair of snowflakes may be visually identical if their environments were similar enough, either because they grew very near one another, or simply by chance.

		Clumps of hairs lining the edges of the blooms of the water snowflake, Nymphoides geminata, increase the aquatic flower's perimeter without adding much weight, Armstrong notes.
		When Armstrong did push fringed flowers underwater, they folded inward to a bud's shape and trapped an air bubble inside, when Armstrong let the submerged flowers bob back to the surface, the lobes of the flower flared open with reproductive organs dry and ready for insect visitors.
