It explains five different topics about radiological weapons. • Understanding the Radiological Threat • Balancing Legitimate Commercial Uses with the Threat of “Loose” Radiological Materials • Effects of Ionizing Radiation on the Human Body • The Threat of Radiological Terrorism • How is the International Community Working to Decrease the Radiological Threat? • Reducing the consequences of a radiological incident through public preparedness. These five topics are the advantage of going through this website but this website doesn’t show history of radiology so this website is not a very good option for any history student. Another good thing is this website is directly linked to face book, twitter and get involved for direct sharing. The nuclear threat initiative (NTI) is not just a normal website , it is an organization which is concerned with reducing security risks throughout the world, its purpose is reduce and prevent the use of weapons of mass destructions like chemical, biological and radiological weapons. [3] CONCLUSION Seven different websites were covered in this webography. Their uniqueness and weaknesses are discussed as
Task 1 - REPORT (P1, M1, D1) Your first task is to investigate web architecture and components involved in website production, and produce a report. In Part 1 of the report you are required to outline the role of the following: ARCHITECTURE: Internet Service Providers (ISP): businesses which provides access to the Internet to their subscribed customers and provide dial-up, cable, fibre optic or other types of Internet access. E.g. Sky, BT, Virgin Media and TalkTalk are examples of Internet Service Providers and broadband providers. Web hosting services: this is a kind of Internet hosting service that ables people and organisations to make their own website accessible through the World Wide Web.
During WWII there were many deaths and terrible battles but the worst of all of them was America dropping the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This tactic of bombing a city was the wrong decision by America, it was completely barbaric and was an act of total war something no country should ever use. The main issues with this decision was that it wasn’t an attack on a military base like Pearl Harbor but it was an attack on a populated city and Japan was prepared to surrender because they knew America and the Allied Powers would win the war. The main argument others have is that the Atomic bomb saved lives by creating a fast end to the war so it wouldn’t be strung out resulting in more deaths on both sides but Japan was prepared to surrender
Political actions taken by the United States in regards to the Vietnam War caused an uproar of controversy in the 1960’s. The city of Madison, Wisconsin became grounds for mass protests against the Vietnam War. Over one million lives were lost in the 20 years of war. Many protested these tragedies at the Capitol in Madison. While their protests were seemingly peaceful and respectful, the retaliation was not.
This shows that it had a devastating weapon that could eventually be used against the U.S. and that the Japanese should be given a chance to surrender before having two cities blasted into smithereens. Dropping the bomb had many pros and cons. For instance, the United States estimated the number of casualties if they were to invade Japan. The invasion of Japan would be yet another way the US could get the Japanese to surrender. The graph showed a number of U.S. Allied casualties and a number of Japanese casualties.
Various levels are available in electron mode. Therac-25 was enclosed in a room of radiation treatment in order to avoid unnecessary exposure of radiation on individuals who works near the machine. And through visual and audio monitors located in the treatment room the Machine operator has contact with the patient at that time. The
There were no designated shelter or any preparation for such a horrible explosion, so it shows Hiroshima was one of the few cities which hadn’t an airstrike before. At that time the effect and the amount of
Due to medical advances, doctors can identify diseases before they become a problem and treat them effectively. “Disease is a biological process, and nuclear medicine provides images of these processes.” Most radiotracers interact with a biological process and emit radiation. Detector systems collect these signals, and computer programs rebuild them into diagnostic images. Nuclear medicine differs from other imaging techniques which visualize structure and shape (anatomy) versus a biological process (physiology)(U.S. Department Converting Energy to Medicine).
BIOL1003 Information Literacy Assignment: What are the relationships between Galapagos finches and South American finches? The search engine which was used was Google Chrome, this is the first choice search engine for many people as it provides most relevant and recent information about the searched topic. Search terms: • “Relationship between Galapagos finches and South American finches” • “Galapagos finch” • “South American finch” • “Finches bird species” • “Darwin’s Finches”
Too much exposure to ionizing radiation can damage the tissues. Children, young women and fetus are more sensitive to this type of radiation than others (Fahey, 2012). • Maintaining the Highest Level of Safety with NM Workers in nuclear medicine should follow safety rules. While working with radioactive materials, personal protective equipment like gloves, protective eye wear and cloths and in some cases fume hoods must be used. NM procedures must be practiced in special closed places.
Introduction Are you an everyday internet user? If so I strongly suggest carefully reading and examining this topic. The internet is a vast place. It is a very useful tool, as it has become the primary source of our knowledge.
When looking into a webpage to evaluate, I have chosen the National Geographic website. I have consulted Kathy Schrock’s ABC’s of Website Evaluation when considering the strengths and weaknesses of the site. First, I evaluated the strengths of the site. Schrock has a list of criteria that should be followed when evaluating a website. One is authority.
Internet websites can be used for entertainment and research. When using websites for research it is important to make sure it is a reliable source. There are different features that can be reviewed to check the reliability of the websites. Researching the author, source, content and accuracy of the website is most important to determine if it could be used as a creditable resource. Three websites I chose to assess are sites created by the Teaching for Change organization, The National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty and the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network.
The biological effects of low levels of radiation have been investigated and debated for more than a century. The risk of cancer induced by radiation is the primary consideration of biological effects associated with diagnostic radiography procedures Ionising radiation has the potential to disrupt the structure of organic molecules in cells (Tubiana et al., 1990). Little question exists that intermediate and high doses of ionising radiation produce deleterious consequences in humans, including, but not exclusively, cancer (Pollycove & Feinendegen, 1999; Dickson et al., 2005). It is universally accepted that there is no safe level of radiation and even a single low dose exposure carries an associated risk and this risk increases with the dose received (Berrington de Gonzales and Darby, 2004).
With advancements in technology that impact almost every aspect of our lives, one would be remiss if they did not notice how deeply rooted nuclear power has become in our society. Nuclear technology is very diverse and lends to more than just a nation's military might. Several medical advancements have become available to diagnose and treat patients thanks to recent developments in nuclear radiation and medicine. Nuclear power offers a readily available source of energy the heavily impacts our economy as well as the climate. It also goes without saying that nuclear weapons play a major role in our nation's political power.
Nuclear radiation can have a huge effect on the human body, it can cause cancer and other illnesses. “ In terms of human health exposure to radiation is usually measured in units called rems.” “ A person exposed to 600 REMs dies in generally 60 days.” Basically even a little bit of exposure to radiation can be a risk to your health. “The first man- made fission reaction, workers in watch factories experienced unusually high rates of illness, particularly cancers of the mouth and throat.
