Radiation can cause cancer. However, it can be used to treat cancer. In treating cancer, cells are exposed to larger doses of radiation. It is inevitable that normal cells in the vicinity of the treated area are also affected and killed. It is for this reason that cancer patients receiving radiation therapy often suffer side effects such as nausea, vomiting, loss of hair, loss of appetite, dependi

Wien’s law is good only at short wavelengths. Rayleigh and Jeans used classical physics and the principle of equipartition of energy, and obtained the expression after a rigorous derivation. Rayleigh and jeans formula agreed with experiments only at long wavelength. Both these laws give the unrealistic result that the total radiation emitted by a black body is infinite. Classical physics also failed to explain the phenomenon of photoelectric effect discovered by Heinrich Rudolf Hertz while verifying the existence of electromagnetic waves in 1887. Thus at the turn of the 20th century, a new thinking to explain above phenomena was badly needed.
Black body radiation has following characteristics. As temperature increases, intensity of radiation increases at all wavelengths.The wavelength corresponding to the maximum intensity decreases as the temperature of the blackbody increases according to Wien’s displacement law.The total radiation power output per unit area, radiancy, of a black body is a function if its temperature only. All attempts to explain blackbody radiation using classical physics failed. Wilhelm Wien used (NP 1911) classical thermodynamics and obtained an empirical law. To be continued………

Black bodies in addition to emitting the highest energy at all wavelengths also completely absorb radiation of all wavelengths falling on them. Radiation emitted by a black body is a function of its temperature only. However, there are no perfect black bodies. A body that is closet to a perfect blackbody is cavity having a small hole on the surface. The wall of the cavity is maintained at a constant temperature. All the radiation falling on to the hole gets in to the enclosure and has little or no chance of coming out. That is the radiation falling on the hole is completely absorbed. The radiation that comes out is the radiation that is present in the enclosure. If the enclose is at a temperature T, then the radiation that comes out of the hole has the characteristics of blackbody radiatio
The amount of different kinds of radiation emitted by a body also depends on the physical nature of its surface. That is the intensity of radiation emitted corresponding to a particular wavelength (frequency) of the spectrum of radiation emitted by different bodies is different. Here E is the radiation power emitted by the body per unit area per unit wavelength interval at a given temperature. Bodies that emit the maximum amount of radiation at all wavelengths corresponding to all temperature are called black bodies. The black body spectrum has a distinct shape, emitted radiation reaching a maximum at a particular wavelength. The wavelength corresponding to this maximum depends on temperature. Also note the increase in intensity at lower wavelengths as the decrease as the temperature of
The fact that amount of radiation emitted and its spectrum depend on the temperature of the radiating body is known from everyday experience. As we heat. For a example, a piece of iron. We can feel that the radiation emitted by it increases with temperature. But initially we do not see any light emitted by the body. How ever, as the temperature increases, the iron piece becomes red hot indicating that is now emits a considerable amount of red light and when the temperature is increased further it becomes white hot indicating the body now emits radiation corresponding to all visible wavelengths. Note here that white light is a mixture of all visible colors. To be continued……..

All hot bodies emit radiation. Called thermal radiation, all different kinds listed above. But in varying proportions depend on the temperature of the radiating body. All bodies not only emit such radiation but also absorb part of such radiation that is emitted by other bodies in their surrounding and is falling on them. When a body is in thermal equilibrium with its surrounding radiation emitted by the body is equal to radiation absorb. By hot it means that the temperature of the body must be grater than 0K.We tend to think that only bodies that are at a much higher temperature than the surrounding temperature can reduce. This is because our body is sensitive to and can feel only the presence of infra red radiation, which only such bodies can radiate with sufficient intensity for us to fe
Radiation is found in many forms or kinds; ultra violet, visible (light), infrared, microwaves and radios and has following characteristics. All travel in free space with the same speed, the speed of light. Different forms differ only in frequency (or wavelength).Each form is characterized by the techniques used to produce and detect that form. All can be understood in terms of Maxwell’s electric magnetic theory. Nature of radiation can be understood by studying any one kind.

Internal radiation therapy, also called brachytherapy, involves the placement of radiation sources in the body. With mesothelioma patients, the radioactive material is positioned inside the abdomen or the chest.
The form of radiation therapy used most often is external radiation, in which a machine very similar to an X-ray machine directs strong beams of light at the cancerous cells from outside the body, killing the tumor cells underneath.
Radiation therapy is an intense X-ray treatment to damage or kill cancer cells. Although not a cure for mesothelioma, radiation therapy nonetheless may be used at different stages of the disease to slow its growth. Radiation is often the main treatment for patients in weak health. Radiation is also used to destroy small clusters of cancer cells that may have been missed in surgery. When used in conjunction with surgery, radiation treatment is referred to as adjuvant radiation.
High energy rays are used in radiation therapy to stop cancer cells from growing and dividing.
Radiation therapy is used to treat cancer because cancer cells grow and divide more rapidly than normal cells around them.

Brach therapy is the internal placement of radiation. A small device delivers a pinpointed stream of radiation to the sight of active cancer. Brach therapy has been proving more effective than other forms of radiation therapy since it is more controlled and able to be placing in the center of cancerous cells. The accuracy of Brach therapy has improved patient chances by about 8% in some cases. Mesothelioma treatm
China has been long known to come up with various ideas which people find amazing. But this aspect of making vegetation global warming full-proof has got to solicit some doubtful minds. Making grains ultra-violet system resistant does answer ½ of the global warming issue on crops but what about the edibility that they have when applying such “protectors” in the process?
This is not to take away the credit for effort made by Chinese scientists, but they have to show some supporting claims with regards to safety as well. Sure this is something that can help combat one problem, but it may lead to more serious ones if not proven to be effective.

The shape of a spacecraft may be crucial to keeping its crew safe on long flights. The ideal form, according to Ram Tripathi, a spaceflight engineer at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, US, is a grapefruit spiked with cherries on sticks.
This bizarre design might be the only way to protect the crew from cancers triggered by the searing radiation environments they would experience on longer space trips, Tripathi says in a new study.
The major radiation sources are galactic cosmic rays, charged particles that comprise anything from electrons up to the heavy metal elements and ’solar particle events’, which throw out protons and helium nuclei.
The electrons, protons and heavy-metal ions such as iron and uranium whiz through the void and can all cause cancers. But aluminium shielding capable of staving the radiation off on extended journeys would be prohibitively heavy, burning too much fuel.

Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AEC) have found evidence that certain fungi possess another talent beyond their ability to decompose matter: the capacity to use radioactivity as an energy source for making food and spurring their growth. Detailing the research in Public Library of Science ONE, AEC’s Arturo Casadevall said his interest was piqued five years ago when he read about how a robot sent into the still-highly-radioactive Chernobyl reactor had returned with samples of black, melanin-rich fungi that were growing on the ruined reactor’s walls. “I found that very interesting and began discussing with colleagues whether these fungi might be using the radiation emissions as an energy source,” explained Casadevall.
Casadevall and his co-researchers then set about performing a variety of tests using several different fungi. Two types - one that was induced to make melanin (Crytococcus neoformans) and another that naturally contains it
I know when my father was undergoing radiation treatment for his bladder cancer, I was amazed at the computerized system they had for aiming the radiation exactly where they needed it. One of the down sides to the whole system is the fact that, inspite of the best effort on the part of the patient and doctor, movement can occur. When precision is a necessity, movement is the enemy.
There is now a system being used in the treatment of prostate cancer that can make automatic adjustments to compensate for small movements. Hopefully this type of system will be available for larger target cancers before long.
It is innovations like this that will make treatment more effective and anytime treatment is more effective, the end result is more acceptable to a life insurance underwriter.

To explore these challenges in some depth and to examine ways to marshal research efforts to address them, NASA, NSF, and the NRC sponsored a workshop bringing together members of the space and planetary science, radiation physics, operations, and exploration engineering communities. The goals of the workshop were to increase understanding of the solar and space physics in the environment of Earth, the Moon, and Mars; to identify compelling relevant research goals; and discuss directions this research should take over the coming decade. This workshop report presents a discussion of radiation risks for the VSE, an assessment of specifying and predicting the

An example of this process of adaptive radiation, or filling out of environmental niches by the development of new species, is provided by Australia. When Australia became a separate continent some 60 million years ago, only monotremes and marsupials lived there, with no competition from the placental mammals that were emerging on other continents. Although only two living monotremes are found in Australia today, the marsupials have filled most of the niches open to terrestrial mammals on that continent. Because Australian habitats resemble those in other parts of the world, marsupial equivalents can be found to the major placental herbivores, carnivores, and even rodents and moles
Over the past few weeks, concerns regarding the outlying health risks linked with the proliferation of Wi-Fi wireless networks – particularly in schools – has begun to take hold in the United Kingdom. More pointedly, calls from the scientific community are also gathering that suggest further research should be carried out on the safety of Wi-Fi networks following reports of a teacher that suffered from heavy migraines, ill health, and a lack of concentration when a Wi-Fi network was installed at his school – only to recover fully when it was later removed. Now Wi-Fi health issues are back in the media again, thanks to the arrival of a BBC Panorama documentary probing the possible health risks associated with the wireless phenomenon that’s currently spreading across the country through homes, classrooms, and businesses. The UK government has already issued claims that Wi-Fi technology is perfectly safe and much less powerful, in terms of radiation emissions, than that of sta
Thanks to the likes of Victoria Beckham the latest trend in fashionable UV protecting eyewear requires serious structural engineering in order to be facially mounted on account of their obscene size and, whilst we wouldn’t claim for a moment that we’re fashion gurus here at TFTS Towers, we think its all getting a bit much.
Enter the Japanese. Taking Victoria Beckham’s lead (naturally) this full face Ultraviolet Radiation Protecting Visor takes things to their logical extremes and we half expect Victoria to been seen in them very soon (bonus).
Measuring in at a not inconsiderable 26×18.5×12cm these UV protecting visors are constructed from hard wearing ABS resin frames with a polycarbonate visor and will accommodate heads measuring up to 60cm in girth – but we’re sure that the manufacturer would be more than happy to increase the sizings this should Mrs Beckham show an interest.
Call those sunglasses?

Mesothelioma patients after the early treatment for chemotherapy, radiation treatments is better option than surgery for the advanced non-small lung cancer and out of all lung cancer cases about 80% are non-small lung cancer cases. 579 new cases of late stage of lung cancer are reported in the Journal of National Cancer Institute. These non-small lung cancer cases are so advanced that surgery is
Chemicals Extremely diverse structure, including natural and synthetic products Can be direct acting that require no chemical transformation and are usually weak carcinogens; or procarcinogens, that act indirectly by being activated by promoters that augment their carcinogenicity and turn them into the active unlimate carcinogens. Promoters by themselves have little, if any, transforming power All direct-reacting and ultimate chemical carcinogens are highly reactive electrophiles that react with electron rich atoms in RNA, cellular proteins, and mainly DNA Chemical carcinogens usually target the RAS gene as well as the TP53 tumor suppressor genes. Radiation Ionizing radiation can cause chromosome breakage, translocations, and less frequently point mutations. The most important cause for carcinogenesis is the breakage of
There existed a need for a new radiation logo that inherently tell anyone, whether a child or an uneducated person or an educated person, the dangers of being close to harmful radiating objects. Every year, many people get injured or killed by large source of radiations because they don’t understand what the three cornered trefoil (the international radiation logo) means. Thus, people dissemble and take-off the trefoil from objects that generate hazardous radiations, which then results in fatal accidents when closely encountered with them.
In order to reduce the numerous deaths and fatal injuries from accidental exposure to large radioactive sources, the International Atomic and Energy Agency (IAEA) along with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) developed a new radiation logo that clearly educates the masses about the risks of being close to radiations.
In 2001, IAEA and ISO employed human factor experts, graphic artists, and radiation protection experts to com
After a 5 year project involving 11 countries, the United Nations has come up with something that will greatly impact the lives of all who inhabit the earth--A new radiation symbol. Apparently the old yellow symbol we all knew and loved was unknown to too many people. Yes, apparently there is a great amount of people exposed to radiation because of the ambiguity associated with those waves radiating from an atom in the center. The new symbol will show those should be Darwin award winners people, that radiation is bad, and to run away. Stay tuned for further updates on other important U.N. actions. Let me know what you think of the new symbol by leaving me a comment. [via medGadget]
