Due to the exposure to an enhanced level of radiation, astronauts could experience about 1 mSv/day in deep space. It is equal to the radiation strength taking an x-ray every day. There would be two different consequences of the exposure to the space radiation, the acute consequences and the delayed consequence. The acute consequence is determined by the amount and the type of the radiation exposure, which would cause damage to the central nervous system and death. Based on our animal experiment, biological damage to our central nerve system would only cause by the high-energy, heavy ions, which are similar to what we know with aging. The delayed consequence means that there’s a limitation of the radiation a human body can take during his lifetime. However, by estimation, stay in space on long-term mission over 500 days, astronauts may exposed above 1 Gy (1 Sv). The long term exposure would ultimately result…

Yotat Embassy. When he tells Tyler that he won’t be in work for a while, Tyler finds out that it’s because his sister Laposha is in trouble (again). He quickly decides to help with the case as well, wich leads him to find out Laporsha secret. Laporsha was quiet around Tyler and got mad at Dominque for telling Tyler what happened. Tyler takes one look at Laporsha son, Todd and sees Shawn Grayson's face in him. “You.. and shawn?” he says as he gives Laporsha dirty look. Laposha looks at the ground…

structure. All members of the plagioclase series usually display lamellar twinning called "Albite Twinning". The twinning is caused by an error in the crystal structure during its growth....Whew... Why does Labradorite look so pretty and have so many colors?? Well that is what they call Labradoressence... What is Labradoressence? The Labradoressence color display is from lamellar inter growths inside the crystal. These inter growths result from compatible chemistries at high temperatures…

Edwin Hubble was not the only astronomer to observe the cosmological redshifts. In fact, the first person to see these shifts is Vesto Slipher, an American astronomer who first observed the phenomenon in 1912. Although this expansion initiated billions of years ago, observations made by Edwin Hubble show that the universe is still in constant development up to this day. The best evidence that supports the Big Bang theory is cosmic background radiation. After being accidentally discovered by Arno…

Advancement in Radiation Protection: Non-Lead Apron People are exposed to radiation every day just by being alive on this earth. One receives approximately 3,000 µSv of ubiquitous background radiation a year, which means approximately 8.2 µSv per day (Howerton, Iannucci, 2012). This is known as background radiation and is caused by terrestrial, cosmic, and naturally occurring radon. On the other hand, during radiographic examination some degree of biological damage does occur during exposure,…

floors inside their homes. There’s radiation found in food and water that are consumed by people on a day-to-day basis. It is found within the gases inside the Earth’s atmosphere, and from cosmic rays from space ("Radiation in Everyday Life"). Even the human body has radiation within the muscles, bones, and other tissues. Radiation is found all over the earth. There are two main types of radiation that make all this possible, ionizing radiation and nonionizing radiation ("Radiation Explained").…

Introduction Our Sun produces enough energy in one second to sustain life on earth for millions of years. However, there is an energy far more powerful than our Sun that makes it pale in comparison. Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic type of light in the universe and produce more energy in one second than the sun will produce in its ten-billion year lifetime. These dramatically powerful energetic explosions often originate billions of light-years from Earth yet produce a light so…

gravity of an unknown force was causing the stars in the galaxies to move quicker. In the documentary “Cosmos” it verbally clarifies that “Vera Rubin had discovered that the gravity of something massive and invisible was forcing the stars to go fast.” Consequently, this is proven evidence that the universe is expanding, and its related to the two outstanding astronomer’s discoveries. Finally, the remaining vitality from the gigantic explosion called the Big Bang is what’s making the vast…

could form, the inflation model of the Big Bang accounts for the unequal level of matter-antimatter existing today and how stars could form before matter-antimatter reactions destroyed the universe. The existence of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR). is in line with what is predicted by the Big Bang Theory, specifically that the CMBR exists. The expansion of the universe outward also supports the Big Bang theory as the expansion of the universe, just like the expansion of an…
