Tridentine Mass

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…

Culture Industry’ and its relevance today. The culture industry argument was developed by Adorno and Horkheimer and focuses on the effects of capitalist mass media and cultural commodities on society, and whether its effects are still relevant. Today ownership of cultural production continuously grows, increasing the standardisation of commodities being mass produced and consumed (Cook, 1996). The internet and social…

Spanning from the early 1950’s to 2016, American Culture has strayed from the commonly shared values of a once religiously rooted America. The way in which we dress, our colloquialism, and commonly accepted values have propelled America into a very interesting era in which each new generation continues to distance our values from those in post-World War II United States. In Martin Gansberg’s…

While this was not untrue, it can not be considered truthful. The NZDF maintains strong connections…

The liquid chromatography was performed using an Acquity UPLC® system (Waters Corp., Milford, MA, USA) coupled to a mass spectrometer (Xevo TQ-S, Waters Corp.). The bioanalytical method for the simultaneous quantitation of the three PFCs was optimized through the various mobile phase conditions and sample preparation processes. A 3 µL aliquot of each sample was injected…

Mass media is a powerful element as it creates a huge influence on the population in various techniques. For instance, advertising can subconsciously impact a person’s life rapidly, and they are avoidable as they appear on television, magazines, newspapers, buses and in buildings.
