WHAT IS RADIATION? Radiation is the process by which energy is emitted as either particles or waves. Broadly, it can take the form of sound, heat, or light. However, most people generally use it to refer to radiation from electromagnetic waves, ranging from radio waves, though the visible ...
These particles are massive with respect to other kinds of radiation; the beta particle, for example, is some 7,000 times smaller. This on the surface might make it seem to be especially dangerous, but in fact the opposite is true: The size of the α-particles means that they penetrate ...
How is beta radiation produced by a radioactive isotope? Does beta decay change the atomic number? When an unstable isotope undergoes alpha decay, what does it give off? Is positron emission the same as beta decay? What is produced by nuclear decay?
Radiation is the emission of energy in waves or particles through space or matter. This can be in the form of electromagnetic radiation, such as light and radio waves, or the form of nuclear radiation. Radiation is a natural process that occurs from both natural and artificial sources...
Bugs are often discovered after a product is released or during publicbeta testing. When this occurs, users have to find a way to avoid using the buggy code or get apatchfrom the software developers. A bug is just one kind of problem that a program can have. Programs can run bug-free...

especially cancers. We note, however, that ICRP Publication 60 mentions in the context of deterministic effects that dose rates lower than 0.1 Gy/min of low-LET radiation “result in progressively less cell killing until a dose rate of about 0.1 Gy/h or less is reached for mammalian cells”...
Postural or orthostatic hypotension as a cause of dizziness In individuals who are dehydrated or anemic, blood pressure readings may be normal when they are lying flat; however, the lack of fluid is unmasked when they stand up quickly. The lack of blood in the brain may cause dizziness and ...
The sun is a luminous ball of gases held together by the force of gravity. It is about 150 million kilometers away from the earth and is at the center of the solar system. Radiation There are four different types of radiation which include alpha, beta, neutrons and electromagnetic rays. ...
Gamma decay: This is the release of gamma radiation from natural radioisotopes. Usually, gamma decay follows alpha or beta decay where the daughter nucleus is excited and falls to a lower energy level with the emission of a gamma radiation photon. However, gamma decay also results fromnuclear f...
