Mass comparison

However, the most stringent CPT test comes from a mass comparison of the neutral kaon and antikaon, where the tremendous accuracy of 10-18 has been reached, albeit in a theoretically dependent manner. Not only does the comparison only restrict CPT violation to 1 part in 103 of CP violation, the origin of which itself is not fully understood, but it has been argued [9] that the analysis leading to this limit assumes the validity of the standard model, which in itself does not contain a mechanism for CPT violation. 

From Eqs. 15 and 26 it is clear that the effective mass of free electrons is equal to the real mass. Comparison of Figures 6(a) and (b) shows that electrons strongly bound to the core ions have a larger effective mass than the (nearly) free electrons. This means that the lattice attenuates the response of electrons to an external force, in the same way that a viscous liquid moderates the movement of dissolved particles. However, close to A = -... 

The influence of unoccupied 5/band states on the Fermi surface of thorium metal has been evaluated from precise calculations of the Fermi surface areas and effective masses.Comparison of the results with those obtained from experiments showed agreement when the 5/electrons were treated as itinerant. The nature of the bonding, electronic configurations and degree of localization of 5/ electrons in the actinide elements have been described in terms of a phenomenal model constructed from a knowledge of the crystal structure, the metallic radii, melting points and enthalpies of sublimation of the elements. The 5/electrons in the elements between protactinium... 

Note that gravimetric analysis does not establish the whole identity of the unknown. Thus, in Example 4.9 we still do not know what the cation is. However, knowing the percent by mass of Cl greatly helps us to narrow the possibilities. Because no two compounds containing the same anion (or cation) have the same percent composition by mass, comparison of the percent by mass obtained from gravimetric analysis with that calculated from a series of known compounds would reveal the identity of the unknown. 

Nesbitt and Gartler (1971) have shown that female mice heterozygous for Cattanach s translocation (Cattanach, 1962) have an inactive normal X chromosome which can be distinguished from cells containing an inactive translocated X chromosome. They interpreted their results to mean that X chromosome activation occurs around the time of implantation but before the determination of the primordial cell pools for the various tissues, within the inner cell embryonic mass. Comparisons of allophenic and X inactivation mosaic mice indicate a tendency for a coherent clonal growth of the inner ceU mass in the development of the mammalian blastocyst (Nesbitt and Gattler, 1971). 

Because mass is an intrinsic property of matter inextricably tied to weight, its proper measurement is essential in many different fields. The apphcations and products that have been developed to accommodate tbe various fields all use the same basic principle of mass comparison, as indeed they must. 

For simple quality assurance, GPC/SEC with a simple refractive index detector is used, as the shape of the trace indicates directly the distribution of molar masses. Comparison of the distribution that is obtained from GPC/SEC with MALDI-TOF has helped clarify the validity of both techniques, especially in the case of low molar mass calibration samples. Simpler traditional methods are often more appropriate where a specific average is required to correlate variations in a polymer material with a physical property. Solution viscosity measurements...
