The year 2010 was a watershed moment in the field of radiation oncology‚ due to articles written by Walt Bogdanich in the New York Times. These articles critiqued leadership‚ radiation dose‚ and patient safety‚ and accused the community of using unsafe practices (Washington & Leaver‚ 2016). While there had been previous accidents which injured and killed patients during the 1980s‚ those few accidents were attributed to equipment faults‚ as computer equipment was merged with treatment delivery equipment

Conduction‚ Convection‚ and Radiation Heat transfer is the way heat moves through matter to change the temperature of other objects. There are three types of heat transfers‚ Conduction‚ Convection‚ and Radiation. The first kind of heat transfer‚ conduction‚ is heat transferring through direct contact of materials. This would be the same thing as a pan on the stove. The heat from the stove touches the pan directly‚ therefore making the pan hot. The next type of heat transfer is convection

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

radiating electric field (or electromagnetic signal) produced when radio stations broadcast? Include a description of what is producing the signal as well as the reasoning behind how this could produce a signal. We know that electromagnetic radiation is produced by accelerating charges. In the radio transmitter‚ electrons oscillate up and down and are thus accelerating. An electron will exert a force on another electron when they are some distance away‚ like charges repel. When the electron in

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‚ visible‚ infrared‚ microwaves and

Stories such as Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson and The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds by Paul Zindel‚ use schools as a setting for life-changing discoveries. The protagonists in both of these books‚ Melinda (Speak) and Tillie (The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds) go through personal troubles that are solved by an important teacher/mentor.
