Yet the redemption is only momentary: the send-up of Hollywood's celebrity culture, youth worship, and narrow scope of mass-market productions ultimately shifts to a satire of even the realistic and the humanistic, sentimental, dramatic movies, which turn out to be fantasy worlds of downbeat hard knocks, where all problems are slightly but satisfyingly corrected.
End-to-end encryption has been under sustained rhetorical assault from government intelligence agencies in countries such as the U.S. and the U.K. ever since NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden disclosed the extent and scope of their mass surveillance programs — including efforts to compromise or circumvent encryption.
Because of the limited scope of metabolite mass spectrum databases and the conservative identification cutoff we employ in data processing, some of the unannotated analytes may be endogenous metabolites that have not yet had a mass spectrum deposited in a database, or their mass spectral similarities to library spectra may fall under our conservative naming cutoff.
One group, the Electronic Privacy Information Center, said that government databases were now of such "extraordinary scope" that "systems of mass public surveillance" could result from a ruling that authorized "coerced disclosure of identity".
In the past year, growing awareness of the scope and proximity of mass surveillance has caused a public uproar and fundamentally changed the way we think about the systems our government uses to protect us -- but has it elicited any change in policy?
The micro-gyroscope has advantages such as a scale of a few millimeters, low-power consumption, scope for mass production, and it is low cost.
The scope may range from calculation of mass and energy balances of a single unit operation to large flow sheet simulation and optimization.
This special issue reflects the wide scope of current FTICR mass spectrometry utilization in the analytical characterization of natural products, biomolecules and biogeochemical mixtures, hyphenation of separation and mass spectrometry, and integration of spectroscopy and separation in the molecular-level characterization of complex systems.
In this work the scope of differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) is extended towards quantitatively identifying kinetics of electrochemical reactions in porous electrodes by dynamic measurements.
Rather than reproduce widely available data about the shape and scope of our culture of mass incarceration, I want to focus on prisons as a symptom of a deeper and darker spirituality.
