Atomic Force Microscopy01:08

Atomic Force Microscopy

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that can analyze topographic details of various specimens like ceramics, glass, polymers, and biological samples. AFM offers over 1000 times more resolution than the optical imaging system. Images generated from AFM are three-dimensional surface profiles, offering an advantage over the flat, two-dimensional images from other imaging techniques.
The AFM Probe
The probe is regarded as the heart of any AFM setup and comprises the...

Formulation and Manufacturing Process: Physical Attributes of Generic Tablets and Capsules

Bioequivalence in generic drugs, such as tablets and capsules, refers to their pharmaceutical equivalence to the brand-name counterparts. However, for therapeutic equivalence, manufacturers must also consider physical attributes like size, shape, and weight (FDA Guidance for Industry, December 2003). Discrepancies in these aspects could impact patient compliance and cause medication errors. For instance, swallowing difficulties, often experienced with larger tablets or capsules, can lead to...

Moment of a Force: Scalar Formulation01:18

Moment of a Force: Scalar Formulation

The moment of a force, also known as torque, measures the ability of the force to create rotational motion in a body about an axis. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. This concept is used extensively in engineering, physics, and mechanics.
Consider a simple example of a flywheel being rotated about a point, O, by applying a force to it. In this case, the moment arm is the perpendicular distance between the point O and the line of action of the force. The...

Moment of a Force: Vector Formulation01:27

Moment of a Force: Vector Formulation

The moment of force refers to the measure of the rotational tendency of a force. It occurs when a force is applied in such a way that it produces a twisting or rotational motion rather than linear motion. The moment arm of a force is the perpendicular distance from the line of action of the force to the axis of rotation. The moment of force is not a scalar but a vector quantity.
The vector formulation of the moment of force is the cross-product of the position and force vectors. The...

Attribution Theory00:56

Attribution Theory

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

Fundamental Attribution Error01:14

Fundamental Attribution Error

According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...
