Secondary fragment displacement during healing was found in six patients of the XSCR group (33.3%).
Only centrally located cTnT peptides could be detected in the
secondary fragment. Interestingly, in these samples, a double peak was observed in the extracted ion chromatogram (XIC) of the [sup.187]ALSN ...
Enhanced selectivity can be achieved by the use of quadrupole-ion trap tandem mass spectrometers that allow multistage fragmentation ([MRM.sup.3]), in which primary fragment ions, created by collision-induced dissociation, can be isolated and then further fragmented into
secondary fragment ions for quantification.
Critical assay parameters include choice of highest-intensity fragment ions, peptide elution time during chromatography separation, and choice of
secondary fragment ions useful for specificity confirmation.
Also, the fact that
secondary fragments are formed in heparin plasma of patients with AMI suggests that, in addition to thrombin, other serum proteases maybe contributing to cTnT degradation following AMI.
Explosions result in four different types of injury which comprise primary injury (overpressure or implosion injury as a result of blast wave), secondary injury (caused by projectiles from primary bomb fragments or
secondary fragments), tertiary injury (caused by whole body translocation due to blast wave energy) and quaternary blast injury (due to fire and heat generated from explosion)7.
Under severe blast conditions, such as an improvised explosive device, these bolts can break off, causing
secondary fragments which may hit the vehicle and crew.
The MBR 300 is claimed to contain and protect against all lethal threats posed by the detonation of an improvised explosive device (IED); namely, primary fragments,
secondary fragments, mechanical effects (shock/blast pressure) and thermal effects (contact and radiation burn) from the fireball, afterburn and resultant post-blast fires.
It is suggested that, in Splintered Urbanism, architecture, 'will rest less on Le Corbusier's dictum "the magnificent, skilful art of pure volumes bathed in light" (sic) than on the organization of programmes and process; in a city which depends equally on the programmatic activation of its voids as much as the maintenance of its built volume; a city represented by an architecture that is less and less material; and architecture that is primarily process and
secondary fragments'.
