2013). The ions are detected electronically by electron multiplier and results are displayed as spectra of relative abundance as a function of the mass-to-charge ratio (Anon., n.d.). The sample can be identified by the mass of fragments and the fragmentation pattern (Anon., n.d.). (Sparkman, 2000) 2.3 Mass Spectrum 2.3.1 Nature Mass spectrum will be presented as a vertical bar graph (Anon., n.d.).

Selective logging may not seem like the biggest cause of forest fragmentation, but “the detrimental impacts of selective logging may extend many years, especially when considering that many forest structural properties, such as deep canopies, associated with wildlife habitat in intact forests, are not likely to be regained…

treatment using CPAP is different from surgical treatment to overcoming upper airway obstruction via positive pressure versus removal of the obstruction site), both treatment modalities are focused on reduction of apnea events, reduction in sleep fragmentation, increase in total sleep time, and reduction of nocturnal hypoxia. Thus, surgical treatment may be as successful as CPAP in reduction of cardiovascular…

Both Heller and Eliot, in Catch 22 and The Wasteland, respectively, use the modern structure of fragmentation to emphasize the disillusionment and despair that come as a result of a war. In The Wasteland, Eliot begins with the imagery of a barren land, laying a foundation for his poem about nothingness after World War I.
