An exercise to decommission the ARE plant finally began in 2003‚ but the work to decontaminate the area is still going on and is estimated to cost RM300 million. The New York Times called it “the largest radiation cleanup yet in the rare earth industry”. ARE was a collaboration between Mitsubishi Chemical Industries Ltd (35%)‚ Beh Minerals (35%)‚ Lembaga Urusan dan Tabung Haji (20%) and several Bumiputera businessmen (10%).

Case-Study Guidant 1.How attractive is the radiation therapy opportunity for Guidant? First we will determine the size of the market and its growth potential. Then we will assess the attractiveness of the market for radiation therapy in general using the concept of Porter’s 5 forces. Furthermore we will connect this information with Guidant’s specifics and its complementary assets to find out if this specific market is attractive for the company. Market size and growth potential The market’s

A patient may receive radiation therapy before‚ during‚ or after surgery. Some patients may receive radiation therapy alone‚ without surgery or other treatments. Some patients may receive radiation therapy and chemotherapy at the same time. The timing of radiation therapy depends on the type of cancer being treated and the goal of treatment (cure or palliation). Radiation therapy given before surgery is called pre-operative or neoadjuvant radiation. Neoadjuvant radiation may be given to shrink a

Blackbody radiation is the electro-magnetic radiation emerging from a small hole in a perfectly black box containing electromagnetic radiation at a high temperature. Scientists were interested in setting standards for the electric and thus measured the distribution of the total electromagnetic energy in a black box among the different wavelengths of the light. But not until Max Planck‚ at the turn of the century‚ was a single mathematical formula for the observed distribution of the energy among

The Effects of Radiation on Cancer There are both negative and positive effects of radiation on cancer. Scientists have discovered that radiation can lessen or increase the chance of obtaining cancer. Radio therapy is a treatment for cancer in which X-rays employ controlled exposure to radiation. Radiation also can save lives. The negative effects on humans are that if over exposed to it‚ it can cause migraines‚ seizures‚ and ultimately‚ death. Firstly‚ external beam radiation therapy used on

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
