The Biological Effects of Radiation Whether the source of radiation is natural or man made‚ whether it is a small dose of radiation or a large dose‚ there will be some biological effects. Radiation causes ionizations of atoms‚ which will affect molecules‚ which may affect cells‚ which may affect tissues‚ and so on. Although most people tend to think of biological effects in terms of the effect of radiation on living cells‚ in actuality‚ ionizing radiation‚ by definition‚ interacts only with

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

individual and group therapy have similarities and differences‚ as well as benefits and limitations. Individual therapy can be described as an effective collaborative between the therapist and the client. During this process the therapist assists the client in identifying problems and setting goals‚ as well as exploring feelings and working through all possible challenges that might occur throughout the course of the intervention. On the other hand‚ even though group therapy is also considered

Introduction Tele-nursing is the use of telecommunications technology such as videos‚ computers and tele-monitoring technologies to provide nursing care and advice at a distance. This growing technology offers many advantages in the delivery of healthcare information‚ disease monitoring‚ health promotion and disease prevention services‚ as well as nursing diagnosis‚ treatment and education to patient at home from a centralized location. Tele-nursing can be instrumental in helping patients

Paper charting in most places is transitioning into electronic medical records. Ineligible physician orders are being replaced largely by computer entries. Education in nursing has developed from teaching patients verbally and handing them literature to showing them on-line resources . An important part of nursing is teaching and educating our patients.

Conduction Conduction Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy between regions of matter due to a temperature gradient. In the engineering sciences‚ heat transfer includes the processes of thermal radiation‚ convection‚ and sometimes mass transfer and often more than one of these processes occurs in a given situation.Shaun Prado 8F Shaun Prado 8F Steady-state conduction Steady state conduction is the form of conduction.

We hypothesized that the amount of UV radiation exposed has a negative correlation with yeast genetic stability‚ which ultimately determines the number of yeast colonies. In this experiment‚ yeast cells were treated with UV radiation‚ protected by photoprotective agents with different strength (in ascending order: Sunscreen #2‚ #1‚ aluminium foil). After letting it grow for seven days at 37 degrees‚ some grown colonies were counted to determine the effectiveness of photoprotective agents. After comparing

“Solar Radiation and its Effects on Planet Earth” The Sun emits a tremendous amount of energy‚ in the form of electromagnetic radiation‚ into space. If we could somehow build a gigantic ball around the Sun that completely enclosed it‚ and lined that ball with perfectly efficient photovoltaic solar panels‚ we could capture all of that energy and convert it to electricity and be set in terms of Earth ’s energy needs for a very long time. Lacking such a fanciful sphere‚ most of the Sun ’s energy
