AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on merging mass spectrometry data from 61 scans to create a comprehensive view for peak analysis. Key points include exploring methods to combine the scans effectively, with a focus on avoiding artifacts in the resulting data. Suggestions include considering a straight average of intensity values, while also seeking algorithms that can merge the data more sophisticatedly. There is a request for clarification on the characteristics of the spectrometry data to better understand the merging process.

I have a collection of mass spectrometry data, about 61 scans, and I can graph them on top of each other to get a complete picture. But since each scan is only a chunk of the entire range, what ways are there to merge all the scans into one so that I can then start finding peaks and such? Would a straight average of the intensity values work? Or is there some nice algorithm that would merge the data without introducing too many artifacts?

I can't guess what you want to do? what's the character of spectrometry data? I'm sorry I can't understand...

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
