Source: Laboratory of Jonathan Flombaum—Johns Hopkins University Colloquially, the terms learning and memory encompass a broad range of behaviors and mental systems, everything from learning to tie a shoe to mastering calculus (and a lot in between). Experimental psychologists have divided up learning mechanisms into groups that seem to have different properties, and that seem to rely on different brain systems. A major division is between declarative and non-declarative memory, roughly, the...

Metamaterials at terahertz frequencies offer unique opportunities, but are challenging to fabricate in bulk. We adapt the fabrication procedure for microstructured polymer optical fibers to inexpensively fabricate metamaterials potentially on an industrial scale. We produce polymethylmethacrylate fibers containing ~10 μm diameter indium wires separated by ~100 μm, which exhibit a terahertz plasmonic response.

Spin–Spin Coupling Constant: Overview

In bromoethane, the three methyl protons are coupled to the two methylene protons that are three bonds away. In accordance with the n+1 rule, the signal from the methyl protons is split into three peaks with 1:2:1 relative intensities. The methylene protons appear as a quartet, with the relative intensities of 1:3:3:1. Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must have a...

NMR Spectroscopy: Spin–Spin Coupling

2024
The spin state of an NMR-active nucleus can have a slight effect on its immediate electronic environment. This effect propagates through the intervening bonds and affects the electronic environments of NMR-active nuclei up to three bonds away; occasionally, even farther. This phenomenon is called spin–spin coupling or J-coupling. Coupling interactions are mutual and result in small changes in the absorption frequencies of both nuclei involved. While nuclei of the same element are involved in...

Spin–Spin Coupling: One-Bond Coupling

Coupling interactions are strongest between NMR-active nuclei bonded to each other, where spin information can be transmitted directly through the pair of bonding electrons. While nuclei polarize their electrons to the opposite spins, the bonding electron pair has opposite spins. Configurations with antiparallel nuclear spins are expected to be lower in energy. When coupling makes antiparallel states more favorable, J is considered to have a positive value. The one-bond coupling constant, 1J,...
FAQs
Density differences determine where biological components settle during centrifugation, creating distinguishable layers or concentrating material into a pellet beneath a liquid supernatant. Fraction selection therefore depends on identifying the location of the target material relative to these separated regions. Recognizing this arrangement helps the operator withdraw the intended phase without collecting adjacent material that could alter downstream analysis.
The interface marks the boundary between fractions with different compositions, so disturbing it can transfer unwanted material into the selected sample. Controlled withdrawal preserves this boundary and reduces cross-contamination. This is especially important when fraction purity affects biochemical analysis, cell separation, or biomaterial processing, because mixed fractions can complicate interpretation and reduce reproducibility.
Consistent positioning, aspiration, and fraction selection reduce variation between samples. Reproducible handling helps ensure that differences in measurements reflect the biological or engineered system rather than inconsistent recovery. In bioengineering workflows, this supports more reliable downstream assays and improves comparisons among samples used for cell separation, biomaterial processing, or biochemical characterization.
The withdrawal point should be chosen according to the location of the desired liquid fraction, while avoiding the interface and any sedimented material. Careful positioning limits accidental transfer of neighboring layers or pellet material. Applying controlled aspiration rather than an uncontrolled draw further protects fraction purity and produces a more consistent recovered sample for subsequent processing.
Operators first determine whether the desired material is contained in the liquid above the sediment or associated with the pellet formed during spinning. Recovery then focuses on the corresponding fraction while minimizing disturbance to the other region. This distinction matters because selecting the wrong phase can remove the intended sample or introduce material that does not belong in the downstream assay.
Post Spin Draw supports sample preparation across cell separation, biomaterial processing, biochemical analysis, and downstream assays. Its value comes from recovering a defined fraction while preserving separation quality and limiting contamination. In engineered biological systems, careful recovery helps maintain reliable inputs for measurements, comparisons, and subsequent processing steps that depend on consistent sample composition.
