RADIATION DETECTION IN VEGETABLE LEAVES: A COMPARATIVE CASE STUDY IN COASTAL AND HINTERLAND REGIONS OF AKWA IBOM STATE BY Godfrey T. Akpabio‚ Ime E. Essien And Bassey E. Bassey. Department of Physics‚ University of Uyo‚ Uyo. ABSTRACT Radioactive radiation level was detected for five samples of vegetable leaves namely: Water leaf‚ Fluted Pumpkin‚ Editan Lasientera africana and Afang Gnetum africanum. These vegetable leaves were collected from Uyo (interland region) and Ibeno

Chapter 1 From X-Rays to Ion Beams: A Short History of Radiation Therapy James M. Slater Abstract Radiation therapy (RT) developed in several eras. Patients’ needs for more effective treatment guided the efforts. The development of ion beam therapy (IBT) can be seen as a corollary in this continuous endeavor to optimize disease control while minimizing normal-tissue damage. It could not have materialized‚ however‚ without the curiosity‚ ingenuity‚ and perseverance of researchers‚ engineers

\Cosmic Creations Myths Across Culture Lakisha Mitchell May 8‚ 2013 HUM/105 Kevin Barker Many Christians have a very vague idea about the collection of the Old- Testament. The Old-Testament books are stories of the most famous myths. The Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) is a book of Hebrew text‚ assemble by Jewish scholars of the seventh to tenth centuries A. D. It also contains two stories of creation. In addition‚ the book of Genesis is known as the book of creation of humankind

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

What do cancer‚ radiation‚ and technology have in common? The links between the three are quite extraordinary. Cancer is a disease that accounts for 13% of all deaths in the world (Delfino and Day 1). The disease has an impact on patients‚ friends and their love ones. According to WebMD‚ radiation is energy that travels in the form of waves through radiation therapy. Through radiation therapy‚ radiation is used to stop‚ slow or cure the growth of cancer. With technology‚ radiologists can treat

Skyler Wimmer Ms. Sauer Composition II 26 September 2024 Radiation in the Environment Today’s world is built on technology‚ and the threat of nuclear radiation has had an alarming impact on the environment. Nuclear energy shows a duality between saving the environment and the demise that it could cause. Understanding nuclear science’s challenges can help save it for a better future. One of the most impactful ways radiation affects the environment is through wildlife. Following the events of the Chornobyl

NEGATIVE PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF NUCLEAR RADIATION Page 1 Abstract Nuclear radiation has been a major problem since 1941 when the Second World War began. A major contribution to World War Two is the nuclear bomb‚ also known as the Atom bomb. Once the two bombs were dropped‚ the usually terminal Leukemia was derived throughout Japan. There are three types of radiation‚ Alpha‚ Beta‚ and Gamma radiation. In my study of radiation I discovered that radiation can damage many cells in your body as
