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

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

In this simulation‚ you can input the temperature and observe the spectrum of the radiation emitted. a) The temperature of stars in the universe

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

A.G.: Can you believe that everything in the universe‚ all of the stars‚ the galaxies‚ and even our world‚ was once the size of this‚ a mere marble? All that we are comprised of was compacted into this tiny space. And then it expanded into a trillion times its size in less than a trillionth of a second. All of the things we see and hear about and what you have just heard or will hear about‚ are all a product of what happened‚ trillions of years ago. Hosted by Morgan Freeman‚ Through the Wormhole

PHY 114: General Physics Laboratory Lab 1: Absorption of Nuclear Radiation 09/04/13 Abstract Nuclear physics was practiced to find the value of tau. After 8 trials of using a G-M counter and 8 different mass thicknesses of polyethylene‚ a graph was formed and tau was calculated to be 0.1931 cm^2/g‚ an error of 3.57% from the accepted value of 0.2 cm^2/g. Experiment was also used as an intro to using basic lab equipment‚ computer programs and calculating errors. With many different

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

Computers are very advantageous which actually has unlimited capabilities; in seeking a certain information‚ for recreation‚ for entertainment purposes and many other uses. But despite those infinite uses of computers‚ some say that computers cause detrimental effects to those who are exposed to its radiation. Radiation‚ in Physics

Convection‚ and Radiation The three types of heat transfers are Conduction‚ Convection‚ and Radiation. Heat always moves from a warmer place to a cooler place. For example hot objects that are in a room that is cooler than the temperature of the object will eventually cool to room temperature. First is conduction‚ conduction is heat transferring through direct contact of substances. Then convection‚ which is the transfer of heat by the movement of the warmed matter. Lastly radiation is electromagnetic
