The Pro and Cons of Chemo and Radiation TRENEICE L. ANDERSON Pros of Chemo In early-stages cancer‚ surgery is performed with the intention of curing the disease. This is often followed by chemotherapy to reduce the risks of recurrence. In case of advanced-stage cancer‚ the aim of treatment is to control the cancer by controlling the symptoms. This enhances survival and ensures a better quality of life. THE EFFORT OF AWARENESS OF BREAST CANCER IS TO PUSH MORE WOMEN AND LOVE ONES TO TALK

Blackbody radiation: a spectroscopic study John Greavu Partner: Nicholas Souhleris TA: Yilikal Ayino (Friday‚ Section 006) April 18‚ 2014 I. PRELAB A blackbody is a body that absorbs all electromagnetic radiation and emits a continuous spectrum‚ such as heated cavern with just a small opening to the outside world. In 1900‚ German physicist Max Planck derived an expression for this blackbody spectrum. Knowing that oscillators emit radiation‚ he assumed that oscillators within the cavern were

In this report‚ the absorption of heat in white‚ black and silver will be explored. Infrared radiation is invisible radiant energy‚ it lies between the visible light and the microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Heat is the main source of infrared energy‚ heat is produced by the movement of atoms and molecules. This experiment was conducted to investigate how black‚ white‚ and silver cans would absorb heat. The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of gamma rays‚ X-rays‚ ultraviolet‚

1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Protecting the patient from unnecessary radiation exposure include not only the Cardinal Principles of radiation protection‚ but also the behaviors of imaging personnel towards each patient. It is often asked‚ "Why do we need to discuss patient protection when it is the patient who is being imaged and therefore being exposed to radiation?" "And is not all radiation exposure made within safe limits so that patient protection is not really possible?" The answer

From time immemorial human race knew that the ultimate source of energy for the earth is from the sun. Modern science has established that this energy is quantifiable‚ for better understanding‚ as electromagnetic radiation‚ EMR. Radiations

Radiation therapist was one of the options listed. I read the description and I fell in love! I knew from that moment on that being a radiation therapist is why I was put on earth. I want to become a radiation therapist because I want to help people in their time of need. Being a radiation therapist would be more than just a job for me. It is a way of giving back and knowing that I am doing something

Effect of Ionizing Radiation on the Germination‚ Growth and Development of Corn (Zea mays L.) Alexis A. Parco BIO30 Group 1 Sec. A-6L September 27‚ 2012 ABSTRACT Corn seeds pre-exposed to 10‚ 30‚ and 50 kiloRads (kR) of radiation were grown in plots for almost 7 weeks. Four different setups – 10kR‚ 30kR‚ 50kR and the control‚ each with 10 corn seeds initially planted – were observed three times a week (during Mondays‚ Wednesdays and Fridays)‚ and the height of each growing corn was
