The Effect of Varying Dosages of Gamma Radiation on the Growth of Corn (Zea mays L.)1 Montalbo‚ Josephine M. A- 1L September 7‚ 2013 1 A scientific paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in Genetics laboratory under Prof. Cheryl D. Agdaca‚ 1st semester‚ A.Y. 2013-2014. ABSTRACT Exposure of corn plants to ionizing radiation such as gamma radiation can induce mutation. The purpose of this study was to

patients and healthcare professionals. But‚ that’s not 100% true. For health care providers who work in the radiology field they are continuously getting exposed to radiation and have to be very cautious with how much they receive. “Radiology is the science dealing with X-rays and other high-energy radiation‚ especially the use of such radiation for the diagnosis and treatment of disease.” In 1895 Röntgen discovered the X-ray‚ instantly people put much interest into the machine. Little did Röntgen know

Case-Study Guidant 1.How attractive is the radiation therapy opportunity for Guidant? First we will determine the size of the market and its growth potential. Then we will assess the attractiveness of the market for radiation therapy in general using the concept of Porter’s 5 forces. Furthermore we will connect this information with Guidant’s specifics and its complementary assets to find out if this specific market is attractive for the company. Market size and growth potential The market’s

Mrs. Pilar M. Macabinguil ENGLISH IV Teacher MPCHS Madam: In partial fulfillment of the requirement in ENGLISH IV‚ I hereby present to you my term paper entitled “What is Radiation?” This term paper presents a research study on the importance about radiation and how it affects the whole world. In doing a research paper is a big task that must be given more efforts‚ time and patient. It will not be built without references. I always think of doing this not for the

EFFECTS OF RADIATION Background Radiation is all around us. It is naturally present in our environment and has been since the birth of this planet. Consequently‚ life has evolved in an environment which has significant levels of ionizing radiation. It comes from outer space (cosmic)‚ the ground (terrestrial)‚ and even from within our own bodies. It is present in the air we breathe‚ the food we eat‚ the water we drink‚ and in the construction materials used to build our homes. Certain foods

Blackbody radiation is the electro-magnetic radiation emerging from a small hole in a perfectly black box containing electromagnetic radiation at a high temperature. Scientists were interested in setting standards for the electric and thus measured the distribution of the total electromagnetic energy in a black box among the different wavelengths of the light. But not until Max Planck‚ at the turn of the century‚ was a single mathematical formula for the observed distribution of the energy among

Radiation pattern From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search Antenna radiation patterns In the field of antenna design the term ’radiation pattern ’ most commonly refers to the directional (angular) dependence of radiation from the antenna or other source (synonyms: antenna pattern‚ far-field pattern).[1][2][3] Particularly in the fields of fiber optics‚ lasers‚ and integrated optics‚ the term radiation pattern‚ or near-field radiation pattern‚ may also be used as

Radiation therapy (RT) is an essential component in the interdisciplinary treatment of brain tumors. Independently of histology‚ radiation plays a central role and has shown to increase local tumor control. Developments in radiation oncology are always aiming at an increase precision of dose delivery: More conformal coverage of target volumes‚ steep dose gradients to surrounding tissues‚ and sparing of organs at risk (OAR). In photon therapy‚ based on 3D-RT‚ stereotactic radiotherapy was a big step
