Alpha particle

enter the house and allow the stale air to exit. The effects of VOCs can also be lowered by minimalizing exposure to these compounds. An example of a VOC is methanol, a substance which is toxic if ingested because it metabolises to form Formaldehyde (CH_2 O). Methanol (CH_3 OH) is most commonly found in products such as cigarettes as well as in foods or drinks containing aspartame, an artificial sweetener. Formaldehyde is another toxic VOC which can cause the development of cancer. Formaldehyde…

The Lassa virus is a single-stranded, enveloped particle contained within a helical capsid that uses two segments of RNA as its genetic material. The larger portion of the RNA segment is responsible for the processes of transcription and replication, while the smaller portion is responsible for the production of the nucleoproteins and the glycoproteins. The glycoproteins are created to lock onto a specific type of cell membrane receptor, called the alpha-dystroglycan receptor. The main targets…

m-RNA. Prepoinsulin is the first polypeptide made in the synthesis. While prepoinsulin is being made, the translation is paused due to a protein (signal recognition particle) in the cytoplasm. This signal recognition particle (SRP) binds to a signal sequence at the end of the prepoinsulin that will bind to signal recognition particle receptor in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Once joined to the SRP receptor, the signal sequence is transferred to the translocon (lipid bilayer of the ER that…

WAVELENGTH) BEHAVIOR. (3) ASSUME THAT THE GYRORADIUS IS SMALL. (4) ASSUME THE PLASMA IS FULLY IONIZED. (5) LIMITED APPLICABILITY TO WEAKLY IONIZED PLASMAS LIKE THE PHOTOSPHERE AND CHROMOSPHERE. (6) ASSUME COLLISIONS ARE FREQUENT ENOUGH THAT THE PARTICLE DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION IS MAXWELLIAN. 1.3 THE IDEAL MHD An ideal conducting fluid is one with infinite conductivity σ, or zero electrical resistivity η, and zero viscosity coefficients µ and ξ.In the ideal MHD approximation we regard the fluid as…

Minutes, hours, days, weeks, and even months flew by and there were thousands of reasons why the injected people were the only people mutating or dying, reasons why we're becoming phenomenons like some people had opened wounds being exposed to alpha particles but most of them weren’t just people working at nuclear power plants or other people that lived where Chernobyl and Fukushima happened or just a little bit farther from the…

parts. They are therefore non-external. Non external has no meaning apart from external. Earth, water, fire and air are both eternal and non-eternal. While ākāśa is external only. The compounds which are produced are non-eternal, while the component particles which are not produced are eternal.The invisible eternal atoms are incapable of division in to parts then all material things would be the products of an equally endless number of constituent endless numbers of constituent parts, so that…

When we think about ice, snow or rain falling from the sky, we imagine some perfect beautiful crystals made of water molecules. Scientist had discovered that those crystals originate because some dust particle, helped with the wind, goes to clouds and then water surround it. Because high in the atmosphere the temperatures are so low, those water molecules freeze giving a structure called ice crystals. Now we know that precipitation from the sky are much more that simple dust and water. They…

How did the universe get here? How did anything come to exist? This simple but huge philosophical question has plagued mankind for millennia. And, of course, they have tried to answer it in different ways. However, Christians believe that in the Bible, more specifically in Genesis, God gives an account of how He created everything in six days. Also, scientific evidence is consistent with the belief that the physical universe was designed by God. This evidence is shown by the Genesis flood with…

Nuclear Chemistry: The Magnetic Resonance Imaging The evolution of medicine is quite interesting. It first started out with spirits, omens, and other mythical beliefs. Then, the discovery of science has allowed for more practical ways to examine and heal a body. First the simple tools came into play, then the advanced technology. As the years keep progressing, more and more discoveries are being made. One example of this is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Nuclear chemistry has allowed for…

“We knew the world would not be the same,” Robert Oppenheimer says slowly [1]. He swallows, and continues, keeping his eyes downcast. “A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.” This man, known as the stalwart powerhouse behind the Manhattan Project, now stumbles over his words. He wipes his eyes dry, trying to keep his voice level. “I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and…
