Mass

Pope Marcellus Mass: Kyrie, by Palestrina or Missa Papae Marcelli is believed to be written in 1562, this composition is a Renaissance Style Polyphonic mass. It is very much so a Renaissance piece, it was made in 1562 towards the latter end of the Renaissance period, but still very much before the end which around 1600, the piece had four or more melodic fragments performed simultaneously, which is known as Polyphony, a staple of the Renaissance period. Throughout the piece there are no instruments, it is strictly acapella, the voice types used in the song include SATB (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass). This mass was sung at Papal coronations until 1963 when Pope Paul VI decided to halt the tradition of Papal Inaugurations. Today the piece is mainly used as a study tool for listeners to understand the 16th Century Renaissance Style. This is not a song I would typically listen to on my own, it’s a Renaissance style mass making it an…

Mass murder is the act of murdering several people, at least four, mostly through though not limited to simultaneous killings, and in close geographical proximity (Duwe). It is not to be confused with spree killing, which is the murdering of one or two people in different locations. Though every mass murderer is different and has distinct motivations for their killings, patterns have been gathered because mass murder has become a media sensation throughout the years. It is alarming how much…

Modern news agencies are supplied the same real life events, yet through opinion based and overarching goal oriented pieces display news differently. With over 294 mass shootings “incidents in which four or more people are killed or injured by backfire,” (Another infuriating, but unsurprising, gun tragedy, 2015) news agencies have discussed many aspects of these events. Depending on the political affiliation of a news agency (conservative vs liberal etc) the editor’s responses vary. In the…

1. Heat water in a pan or beaker until it is boiling vigorously. 2. Measure the mass of the metal with the scale. 3. Drop metal into boiling water, and let it sit for for about five minutes. 4. Place the two styrofoam cups inside each other. 5. Measure the mass of the calorimeter, and then fill it ¾ full of room temperature water. Measure the mass again, and determine the water’s mass by subtracting the mass of the calorimeter from the total. 6. Calibrate thermometer as in experiment 2.1, then…

Intro: For years the media has expressed that the root of extreme school shootings, violent stabbings, and brutal mass murder is violent media. However, violent media does not correlate with the violent crime rate or the murder rate. In fact, the FBI’s violent crime statistics have dropped by 50% from 1992 to 2011, and the murder rate decreased by 54% from the same years. Notice that violent video games have been around since the late eighties and have only been increasing in violent and…

Aim: Discuss the advantages, disadvantages and limitations of mass spectrometry for the analysis of both small molecules and proteins. Background Mass spectrometers. They are a powerful tool used to evaluate analytes such as single atoms, molecules, whole proteins, or the simple peptide chains that make them up. Using the mass to charge ratio (m/z) of these analytes, we can differentiate one or many entities (such as one particular peptide fragment, or a panel of them) from everything else in…

The Law of Conservation of Mass is a system where an isolated system cannot be created or destroyed by a chemical reaction or physical transforms. (from the website: https://courses.lumenlearning.com/introchem/chapter/the-law-of-conservation-of-mass/).The Law states that mass of products in the reaction must be equal to the reactans or the things that causes the reactants.Again from the same website.The History behind it is that the Greeks were the first to come up with the idea,but it wasn’t…

The reading is all about mass communication transforming into media communication. So what is the difference between mass communication and media communication? Mass communication has fewer channels than media communication; It has unified audiences while the latter has diverse ones; the people or the users are in control of what the message is in the media while in mass, the sender of the message is the one who is in control. These are just some examples of the differences between mass and…

Sullivan Jackson Kachigan Physics 16 February, 2018 SAHC: SJ How Mass Effects Luge Luge is an unusual sport where the rider or riders on a sled-like device are barreling down an ice track at speeds up to 97 mph. Because of these tremendous speeds, one may think that the rider(s) must be light and nimble so they could glide through the course with ease. However, this is the complete opposite of reality and in the physics world, it makes complete sense. As you may have guessed, the…

significance of mass media for human life cannot be overestimated. This is true because beyond the physical requirements of food and shelter everyone needs communication, entertainment and information. And it's mainly mass media that can satisfy all these requirements at the same time. Mass media is usually considered as the main source of entertainment and news. Even entertainment carries news and information in form of story or satire; they also carry messages of persuasion and messages for…
