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

radiation We can classify radiation into ionizing and non-ionizing radiation‚ according to the effects it produces on matter. Ionizing radiation includes cosmic rays‚ X rays and the radiation from radioactive materials. Non-ionizing radiation includes ultraviolet light‚ radiant heat‚ radio waves and microwaves.In medical practice ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) involve non-ionizing radiation. +light n heat radiation produced by the sun *ionizing radiation is produced by some

Primary radiation is also known as direct radiation. * Secondary Radiation (aka Scatter radiation & Leakage Radiaiton) * Scatter Radiation – results whenever a diagnostic x-ray beam passes through matter. * Compton interactions between the x-ray photons and the electrons of the atoms within attenuating object deflect x-ray photons from their initial trajectories. * X-ray photons emerge from the object in all direction. * Leakage Radiation – radiation generated

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

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Protecting the patient from unnecessary radiation exposure include not only the Cardinal Principles of radiation protection‚ but also the behaviors of imaging personnel towards each patient. It is often asked‚ "Why do we need to discuss patient protection when it is the patient who is being imaged and therefore being exposed to radiation?" "And is not all radiation exposure made within safe limits so that patient protection is not really possible?" The

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

Effect of Ionizing Radiation on the Germination‚ Growth and Development of Corn (Zea mays L.) Alexis A. Parco BIO30 Group 1 Sec. A-6L September 27‚ 2012 ABSTRACT Corn seeds pre-exposed to 10‚ 30‚ and 50 kiloRads (kR) of radiation were grown in plots for almost 7 weeks. Four different setups – 10kR‚ 30kR‚ 50kR and the control‚ each with 10 corn seeds initially planted – were observed three times a week (during Mondays‚ Wednesdays and Fridays)‚ and the height of each growing corn was

ABSTRACT The effect of different levels of radiation was determined using four set-ups-10kR‚ 30kR‚ 50 kR‚ and the control (no radiation). The four set-ups were observed for nine weeks and growth (in cm)‚ germination‚ and survival rate was measured. Results showed that at the right level of radiation level (10 kR)‚ radiation have a positive effect on the plant growth and has the same germination and survival rate from the control set up. The 30 kR set up and 50 kR set up are relatively smaller

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
