Freehand

Visceral Fetal Examinations. The examination of the abdominal and thoracic viscera of fetuses is performed either fresh without fixation ( Staples technique ) or after Bouin s fixation by making freehand razor blade sections ( Wilson s technique Wilson, 1965). Both techniques have advantages. The fresh examination technique, which may require less training for thorough proficiency, provides a more easily interpreted view of heart anomalies. The examination must be performed on the day the dam is terminated, however, so having a large number of litters to examine in one day requires that a large team of workers be committed to the task. 

With both techniques, the heads of one-half of the fetuses can be fixed in Bourn s fixative for subsequent freehand sectioning and examination. A common artifact induced by fixation in rabbit fetal heads is retinal folding. 

Evaluation of the internal structures of the fetal rat and rabbit head has traditionally been performed after fixation, most commonly in Bouin s fluid, by assessing serial coronal sections, prepared using a freehand blade to cut the specimen (1, 2). Whilst this method is widely accepted, both by users and regulatory authorities, it does have major drawbacks that are often overlooked because of its widespread use. These include ... 

Injections may be performed through the chorion using a micromanipulator or freehand. 

Fig. 4.34 Relative pair energies between two Si adatoms at six pair bond distances of the W (110) substrate. The broken curve is a freehand drawing merely for the purpose of showing the non-monotonic distance dependence of the Si-Si pair interaction. The centered line is the asymptotic value determined by comparing these experimental data with a Monte Carlo simulation.

This time, we will use more then one anode, to carryout a double reactiou In this example, we will make ferric chloride hydrate by using an iron anode, and a graphite anode. The graphite anode should be 8 to 12 inches long, by at least A inch in diameter. Note these graphite rods can be obtained from numerous arts and craft stores. Look for arts and crafts stores that sell drawing freehand accessories. Graphite is a form of carbon, and is commonly called "pencil lead". 

A line-art figure is drawn in an application such as Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand, or Corel Draw and exported as an EPS or a TIFF file. 

Grayscale line art is drawn in an application, such as Illustrator or Freehand, and saved as an EPS hie. 

Curved lines can be drawn using a flexible curve, a set of French curves, or freehand. In the last case, turn your paper so that you can draw the curve in a single, sweeping stroke by a pivoting movement at the elbow (for larger curves) or wrist (for smaller ones). Do not try to force your hand to make complex, unnatural movements, as the resulting line will not be smooth. 

They can be made freehand or by winding a hot plastic glass tube on a suitable former. 

Such spirals are very difficult to make freehand and are normally wound on a former. A straight borosilicate glass tube, covered with asbestos paper, can be used as a former, but some difficulty may be experienced when withdrawing this tube from the finished coil. Brass tube formers are easier to withdraw, provided they are quite straight. Spiral winders with a ground taper finish eliminate these difficulties. They are fitted with a wooden handle and a small metal loop which holds the glass tube end securely. 

The instructor should make reasonably proportioned freehand sketches, of the glassware to be made, on the blackboard. The sketches should indicate the order of the steps to be taken. The student should be encouraged to copy these drawings in his book. 

If the graph is a curve, then the line joining the points will have to be drawn freehand, but it should still be drawn as a smooth curve which fits the available points as well as possible. 

Anyone who has used graph paper to plot out characters, then tediously converted the rows into decimal numbers can appreciate a character editor. Instead of drawing and erasing on paper, you can draw your characters freehand with a joystick. "Ultrafont -I-" has been written to offer almost every conceivable aid to help you design whole character sets. 

The raw materials for traditional ceramics are natural clays that come from the earth as powders or thick pastes and become plastic enough after adjustment of their water content to be formed freehand or on a potter s wheel. Special ceramics (both oxide and nonoxide) require chemically pure raw materials that are produced synthetically. Close control of the purity of the starting materials for these ceramics is essential to produce finished pieces with the desired properties. In addition to being formed by hand or in open molds, ceramic pieces are shaped by the squeezing (compacting) of the dry or semidry powders in a strong, closed mold of the desired shape, at either ordinary or elevated temperatures (hot pressing). 

Using computers to produce graphs -never allow a computer program to dictate size, shape and other aspects of a graph find out how to alter scales, labels, axes, etc., and make appropriate selections. Draw curves freehand if the program only has the capacity to join the individual points by straight lines. 

In general, if you need to draw an orbital, we suggest you use the single contour as in Figure 3.9 because this is more easily remembered and drawn freehand. 

The overall quality and size requirements for structures and schemes are the same as those for other illustrations. Do not draw structures freehand. 

When the best curve has to be drawn freehand, the results are still more uncertain. For example, the amount of active oxygen, y, contained in a solution of hydrogen dioxide in dilute sulphuric acid was found, after the lapse of t days, to be ...

For measurements of lateral diffusion on the membrane, it is especially important to use the same bleach size for each experiment to allow for direct comparisons between data sets and to facilitate data analysis. Most software programs will allow the user to either copy and paste the ROI from one cell to another or permit one to type in the exact specifications of the bleach region. Often, the ROI specifications are measured in pixels therefore, it is imperative to always use the same zoom parameters before photobleaching to maintain consistent bleach data. For selective photobleaching of an entire compartment or organelle, a freehand drawing tool may be required to outline the ROI. 

For FRAP of the membrane, use a freehand drawing tool to create the ROl. This allows you to create the appropriate ROl when there are significant curves along the cell perimeter. However, to maintain consistency, you should maintain the maximum width along the membrane constant at 4.5 pm and the average depth below and above the membrane between 1 and 1.5 pm depending on how much the cell moved before bleaching.
