What are X-rays? X-rays are a form of radiation that can pass through solid and semi-solid substances. In carefully controlled doses‚ they can be used to capture images of the body’s internal structures. How X-rays work X-rays are a type of radiation. Light and X-rays are similar sources of energy. However‚ light has a much lower frequency than X-rays and is absorbed by your skin. X-rays have a higher frequency and pass through the human body. As X-rays pass through the body‚ energy particles

The Carbon Cycle The element Carbon is the principle block for the organic compounds that make up life. This is because the study of the Carbon Cycle draws upon theories from biology‚ chemistry‚ geology and oceanography in order to understand the movement of carbon throughout the atmosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ and geosphere. Carbon is made up of four electrons that are able to form with each other; this causes the many different forms of carbon. The most popular form of carbon is carbon dioxide; this

The relaxation times of some of the photooxidation steps were estimated. : : The fastest reaction‚ presumably S + S‚‚ has a (first) half time < 200 psec. The S state and probably also the SJ state are processed somewhat more slowly (- 300-400psec). + INTRODUCTION ALLENand Franck [ 13 noticed that in darkness the photosynthetic

Cardiac Cycle The cardiac cycle describes the coordinated and rhythmic series of muscular contractions associated with the normal heart beat. The cardiac cycle can be subdivided into two major phases‚ the systolic phase and the diastolic phase. Systole occurs when the ventricles of the heart contract. Accordingly‚ systole results in the highest pressures within the systemic and pulmonary circulatory systems. Diastole is the period between ventricular contractions when the right and left ventricles

The intelligence cycle is taught to all new analysts stepping into the intelligence community. It is basically a circle moving from one step to the next and then‚ rinse and repeat. According to Keithly (2010)‚ “The process generally divides intelligence efforts into six phases: (1) direction and planning‚ (2) collection‚ (3) processing and exploitation‚ (4) production‚ (5) dissemination and integration‚ and (6) continuous evaluation” (p. 2). It would be important to remember these phases revolve

Pre-Arrival 2. Arrival 3. Occupancy 4. Departure Below is a description of the activities
