Radioactive particles vary in strength, alpha particles, for example, are able to pass through sheet of paper. On the other hand, gamma rays are about to pass through solid lead (6 inches) or concrete (6 feet). By analyzing the human eye, scientists were able to develop a highly accurate system for identifying the age of a corpse. This method calls of the use of radioactive…

Also in the book you could see the fire from miles,but they didn’t think it was something to worry about. In the book he tells you most of the city was made of wood. Such as “houses, roads, sidewalks, and even companies because they didn’t have enough money to make it out of stone”. There was only a few fireproof buildings in…

The purpose of much research into radio-diagnostic error is to understand the visual search methods (process) and the perceptive and cognitive processes (performance) used in the interpretation of medical images. Investigation into the reasons for radiological error began more than fifty years ago after a study comparing radiological techniques failed to provide an answer because of significant variability in the performance of the subjects used for the task [1]. Results found that chest images…

Have you ever wonder how Fred Drew became Hydroman? One day he was swimming in the ocean when all of the sudden he started drowning. By the time they saved him, he swallowed a bunch of water.

He then realized that the only reason why he could do any of this because of him drowning earlier in…

I sometimes even find myself speaking like you,…
