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.

Motor Learning in Mirror Drawing

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...

Drawing Free-body Diagrams: Rules

2023
The first step in describing and analyzing most phenomena in physics involves the careful drawing of a free-body diagram. Free-body diagrams are useful in analyzing forces acting on an object or system, and are employed extensively in the study and application of Newton's laws of motion. The steps to draw a free-body diagram are listed below: • Draw the object under consideration. If treating the object as a particle, represent the object as a point. Place this point at the origin of a...

Blood draws are necessary in a large number of studies, for example to study the pharmacokinetics profile of a compound. Here, we demonstrate how to draw blood from rats using two techniques: blood draw from the saphenous vein or by cardiac puncture.
FAQs
A 1:100 scale means that one measured unit on the drawing corresponds to 100 of the same units in the represented object or space. Thus, a distance measured in centimeters on the drawing converts to a real distance in centimeters before any unit conversion is made. This relationship allows readers to determine actual dimensions from a reduced representation.
A consistent scale keeps all lengths proportional to one another. If one part uses a different relationship, the drawing no longer preserves the subject’s relative size and shape, so comparisons between dimensions become unreliable. Applying one scale factor throughout allows users to evaluate design relationships accurately, whether the drawing represents a structure, map, model, or technical diagram.
First, measure the relevant length on the drawing and identify the scale ratio. Then apply the ratio to convert that drawing measurement into the corresponding real-world measurement, keeping the units aligned during the calculation. For example, with a 1:100 scale, the actual length is 100 times the represented length when both values use the same unit.
A scale ratio states the relationship between a drawing measurement and its corresponding real measurement, as in 1:100. A scale factor expresses the multiplication relationship used to convert one measurement into the other. In practice, the ratio communicates the correspondence, while the factor supports calculations for finding actual dimensions or determining how a real object is represented.
Begin with the real-world dimensions, select a scale that can represent them clearly, and convert each length using the same ratio. Place the converted measurements into the drawing while preserving the relative relationships among parts. Checking corresponding dimensions afterward helps confirm that the representation remains proportional and that the intended shape and layout have been retained.
Scale drawings are useful when the subject is too large or complex to show at its actual size. Architectural plans can communicate structures and spaces, maps can represent larger areas, and engineering designs can present components or arrangements. The same approach also supports models and technical diagrams, giving viewers a manageable way to study dimensions and relationships.
By comparing represented dimensions, users can examine how parts relate in size, position, and overall arrangement. Converting selected lengths back to real measurements also helps clarify the space or structure being planned. In paper or digital form, this proportional information supports communication of complex designs and helps viewers study relationships that may be difficult to inspect directly.
