Mass informing power

The modeling and simulation of Cl and SoS is challenged by the key characteristics of these systems i) coexistence of multiple time scales, from infrastructure evolution to real-time contingencies it) multiple levels of interdependencies and lack of fixed boundaries, i.e. CIs are made of multiple layers (management, information control, energy, physical infrastructure) Hi) broad spectrum of hazards and threats iv) different types of physical flows, i.e. mass, information, power. 

High information power (structural information, molecular mass)... 

The coupling of a mass spectrometer to CE and CEC provides a powerful system for the analysis of pharmaceuticals and complex biological mixtures. This can replace or complement other conventional detection methods such as UV, electrochemical, or LIE that provide less structural information. The use of mass spectrometer as a detector enhances the usefulness of the CE and CEC and allows an efficient separation and identification of complex mixtures, obtaining structure and/or molecular mass information. The choice of mass analyzers used in CE/CEC-MS depends on factors such as sensitivity, mass resolution, requirement for structural elucidation, and the type of application (Table 5). The analyzers that have been used in CEC analysis include time-of-flight (TOE), quadrupole (Q), ion-trap (IT), fourier...

In our methodology, the mass scans were, by necessity, limited to at most five ions in order to meet the milestone for sensitivity. This greatly reduces the informing power of the GC/MS portion of the analytical procedure however, this is more than compensated for by the sample preparation steps in the... 

This procedure may only be applied by means of an additional relatively complex electronic unit of hi accuracy. The mass resolving power is not superior to that of the accelerating voltage scan (AVS), and the information on the energy release is lost. Therefore, the more simple scan mode, the AVS, is normally preferred for practical purposes. 

The complete mass spectrometry system must also be examined as a detector in order to assess its fitness for coupling with TLC. In particular, the mass spectrometer must be able to provide an analytical capability that matches the capability of TLC. The informing power of any analytical technique can be defined as the number of binary digits that indicates how much information can be provided by the technique. The informing power for one variable parameter x is mathematically defined as ... 

MALDI-FTMS yields more detailed structural information (such as sequence distribution) than MALDI-ToFMS. The mass resolving power m/Am = 120 x...
