Microwave Background Radiation The Big Bang theory predicts that the early universe was a very hot place and that as it expands‚ the gas within it cools. Thus the universe should be filled with radiation that is literally the remnant heat left over from the Big Bang‚ called the “cosmic microwave background radiation”‚ or CMB. The CMB is an almost-uniform background of radio waves that fill the universe. The CMB is‚ in effect‚ the leftover heat of the Big Bang itself - it was released when the universe became

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

THERAPIES AND TREATMENTS Due to the harmful effects created by the traumatic experience of being bullied some victims have a hard time recovering from the said situation. They are greatly affected not only socially but mentally‚ emotionally and personally as well. Some even have the psychotic tendency of retreating to their personal haven because of the fear that they will again be experiencing the traumatic experience. Mostly these victims are so affected that their self-esteem suffers great damage

if UV Radiation induced a mutation in the DNA of Serratia Marcescens and prevented the production of the red pigment called Prodigiosin. Hypothesis: Maybe the disappearance of red color in Serratia Marcescens is caused by the UV light which induces mutations in its DNA and is known as a common mutagen. Prediction: If UV light mutates the DNA of Serratia Marcescens then the red pigment colonies of the bacteria will no longer be produced. Independent Variable: Ultra Violet Radiation Dependent

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

always had a passion to work in the healthcare field‚ but I just didn’t know what exactly I wanted to do. I don’t want to stick people with needles and I don’t like really gory scenes so I knew becoming a surgeon or even a nurse was out of the question. When my aunt died from breast cancer‚ I told myself if I could find a job that dealt with cancer I would pursue it because I want to help people overcome this obstacle so they can continue to be with their families. At first I wanted to become a physical
