Anorexia is a very common manifestation of disease. Cats that are eating ravenously present less of a diagnostic dilemma, as there is a shorter list of illnesses that result in increased appetite (diabetes, hyperthyroidism, pancreatic insufficiency and a few others).
The fragments that survive the journey through the analyzer shoot into the electron multiplier-the detector of the GCMS. The electron multiplier detects every ion of the selected mass that passes through the quadrupole analyzer. Electron multipliers use a process known as secondary electron emission. When the ions hit a surface, it causes the electrons in the outermost area of the atom to be released, which are known as secondary electrons.
The SI unit of quantity of electric charge is the coulomb, which is equivalent to about 7018624200000000000â 6.242Ã1018 e (e is the charge of a proton). Hence, the charge of an electron is approximately 3018839800000000000â â1.602Ã10â19 C.y convention, the charge of an electron is â1, while that of a proton is +1. Charged particles whose charges have the same sign repel one another, and particles whose charges have different signs attract.
