The versatility of the instrument, with its ability to multiplex the selection of precursor ions and to operate with varying quadrupole isolation windows, has enabled the design of large-scale experiments, which require the optimization of several acquisition parameters to maintain high performance.
Using a single database would have been sufficient but we chose to process the two PET/CT acquisitions separately to maintain the alignment of the CT and PET images, and thus not favour an acquisition while analysing the PET results.
Besides the possibility of high throughput image acquisition, this enabled us to maintain acquisition parameters unchanged by excluding software or hardware upgrades in order to ensure data stability and comparability over time.
Activation laser power was finely tuned during acquisition, in order to maintain the density of activated fluorophores constant; typical values of activation and imaging laser power densities on the sample were 7×10−3 to 3×10−2 kW/cm2 (405 nm), 4 kW/cm2 (561 nm), 1 kW/cm2 (532 nm), and 2.7 kW/cm2 (641 nm).
However, we have provided a brief introduction regarding the data inclusion/exclusion criteria, acquisition, and processing to maintain the scientific integrity of the present study.
Sorrell has continued to make several acquisitions a year to maintain WPP as the world's biggest advertising company.
Upon closing the acquisition, Kobo will continue to maintain its headquarters, management team and employees based in Toronto, Ontario.
Following separation, molecules that often exhibit wide concentration variances in mixtures can be investigated by combined NMR/MS, with acquisition parameters specifically adapted to maintain the optimum dynamic range necessary for good quality spectra.
"We very carefully negotiated an acquisition agreement that was supposed to maintain the values of Ben & Jerry's," he said.
The all-cash acquisition will see Glassdoor continue to maintain its brand, CEO Robert Hohman explained in a blog post.
