Sentences with phrase «when ionizing radiation»

Not exact matches

When cosmic rays strike the air, they create showers of ionizing radiation — particles that can knock electrons free of atoms and molecules — that can penetrate deep inside our bodies.

This layer of the atmosphere forms when radiation from the sun strips electrons from, or ionizes, atoms and molecules in the atmosphere between about 75 and 1,000 kilometers above Earth's surface.

«Ionizing radiation found to soften tumor cell microenvironment: When irradiated, less stiff extracellular matrices reduced cancer growth and migration, bolstering the case to further understand fractionated radiation therapy.»

The results will be used to accurately calculate the damage and radiation dose delivered to patients in radiotherapy, when cancer cells are bombarded with ionizing radiation.

When ionized hydrogen in the nebula recombines it would emit Lyman - alpha radiation.

Experiments with mouse embryo support cells that express mutant DUB or pseudo-DUB proteins show an impaired immune response when infected with a virus and impaired DNA damage repair when exposed to ionizing radiation, further validating the need for complex's correct structure.

When cells in culture are exposed to ionizing radiation, even those not directly hit sustain damage to chromosomes.

Ionospheres are formed when external radiation, or energetic particles, ionize a neutral molecule, knocking off an orbital electron (which is then called a photoelectron or a secondary electron) and creating a positive ion.

Most ices that contain C, H, O, and N within their original molecular components will yield some amino acids when irradiated by ionizing radiation.

If you don't have breast cancer when you start screening with mammograms, you probably will years later after all that cumulative ionizing radiation exposure!

We also are exposed to ionizing radiation when we fly in an airplane.

E.g., when trying to explain to someone how microwave «radiation» is an unlikely candidate for causing cancer, I might say that it's rather well understood how low doses of ionizing radiation can cause cancer, and the key part is not «radiation» (which microwaves are) but «ionizing» (which microwaves are not).

The idea is to avoid extra ionizing radiation, especially the kinds coming from nuke plants and nuke weapons and medical xrays, when possible because there is always the chance that they can cause DNA damage.

However when it comes to the «conundrum» as to why the Troposphere cools, with height, the Stratosphere warms, the Mesosphere cools and the Thermosphere warms I think we shall have to take into consideration that there are two types of «radiation» i.e. «Ionizing» and «Non Ionizing» Ionizing is «short Wave as in solar incoming radiation that has enough energy to dilsodge electrons, non ionizing (long wave) has not got enough energy for that kind of behaviour and is the kind of radiation discussed amongst the (us) global warming Ionizing» and «Non Ionizing» Ionizing is «short Wave as in solar incoming radiation that has enough energy to dilsodge electrons, non ionizing (long wave) has not got enough energy for that kind of behaviour and is the kind of radiation discussed amongst the (us) global warming Ionizing» Ionizing is «short Wave as in solar incoming radiation that has enough energy to dilsodge electrons, non ionizing (long wave) has not got enough energy for that kind of behaviour and is the kind of radiation discussed amongst the (us) global warming Ionizing is «short Wave as in solar incoming radiation that has enough energy to dilsodge electrons, non ionizing (long wave) has not got enough energy for that kind of behaviour and is the kind of radiation discussed amongst the (us) global warming ionizing (long wave) has not got enough energy for that kind of behaviour and is the kind of radiation discussed amongst the (us) global warming pundits.

Also, «radiation» scares people, period, because it's a loaded word and, when it comes right down to it, using the same word to describe pleasant sunbeams, invisible streams of cool jazz, and ionizing radiation that'll turn your DNA into scrambled eggs and liquefy your organs is probably not the best way to go.
