ABSTRACT Mutation was induced via a physical agent‚ radiation. 4 levels of radiation—0 kr (control)‚ 10 kr‚ 30 kr‚ and 50 kr—were used in seeds to determine the radiation effects on the growth of Zea mays. Using two duplicate set-ups‚ each‚ planted with 18 seeds per radiation‚ the differences in height were observed from January 29 to March 17 in a 1 to 2-day interval (Mondays-Wednesdays-Fridays). Results show that as radiation increases‚ the potential of plants to grow decreases—0 kr seeds reached

About Radiation: Radiation is an energy that is transmitted in the form of waves or tiny particles. These are electromagnetic waves‚ which are classified as ’ionizing radiation’ and ’non ionizing radiation’. Electromagnetic radiation is when an object gives out electromagnetic radiation. For example when you on a torch light‚ the light is an example of radiation. Ionising radiation has more energy than non ionising radiation. Therefore it is enough to cause chemical changes by breaking chemical

treatment with radiation I am for the use of radiation because it can be used in many good ways. My sub group is medicine. I am researching a radiation treatment used for helping cancer patients. This is a good use of radiation because it kills the cancer cells and may even cure the cancer. It doesn’t always cure it but it will slow the process down. One reason radiation therapy is used‚ is to destroy the cancer cells. It is also for shrinking tumors. Tumors are mostly cured by the radiation. It can also

Conduction Conduction Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy between regions of matter due to a temperature gradient. In the engineering sciences‚ heat transfer includes the processes of thermal radiation‚ convection‚ and sometimes mass transfer and often more than one of these processes occurs in a given situation.Shaun Prado 8F Shaun Prado 8F Steady-state conduction Steady state conduction is the form of conduction.

International Journal of Medical and Biological Sciences 6 2012 Estimation of Electromagnetic Radiation from Base Station Antenna R. K. Singh Abstract—In the present paper‚ an observation of electromagnetic radiation from base station antennas installed for various communication purposes has been done on the basis of equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) calculations. For this purpose‚ a typical wireless communication site has been selected where GSM‚ CDMA‚ 3G/UMTS and WiMAX antennas are

claims‚ and studies about the cellphone radiation exposure. Some studies suggest that there is no evidence that cellphone can cause cancer‚ others are saying that there are credible amount of evidence that the use of cell phone cause health complication including cancer. According to the article “Dangers of today technology” Recent research shows that cellular phones can cause health complication‚ including cancer. “Heavy long exposure to cell phone radiation increases risks for certain type of cancer

Is Cell Phone Radiation Really Harmful? With sixty percent of the world’s population using cell phones‚ recent concern has risen from the medical front concerning the harmful effects of cell phone use. All scientific research has concluded that mobile phones do produce RF energy and emit electromagnetic radiation. Studies have also concluded that high levels of RF energy can be harmful to human health. However‚ all scientific studies have not agreed if the levels of RF energy emitted from modern

radioactivity is the treatment of cancer. Yes‚ radiation therapy is utilized for treatment of many types of cancers. Radiotherapy: a method to destroy cancer cells by irradiation with radioactive isotopes or X-rays. a. Explain briefly how radioactivity can cure some types of cancer. beta particles can cure skin cancer but not inside the body The main scooby dooby on this is that the biological damage done to some kinds of cells by exposure to radiation is greater than others. And we frequently see

purpose is to provide information on cell phone radiation‚ the risks that can be caused by cell phone radiation‚ and the potential health problems that could result from this. Details of the topic: I am going to talk about the arguments about how cell phone radiation can affect our lives and whether these arguments are accurate or not. Cell phone radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that has the ability to cause health issues. The radiation from this device can cause serious brain tumours
