Sentences with phrase «because radiation levels»

Finally, the team looked at older data from animal surveys in the first decade after the accident — these conducted by helicopter, because the radiation levels were too high for researchers to work within the reserve.

On Mars, however, the researchers calculate that dormant bugs could receive the necessary dose in just a few hundred thousand years, because radiation levels there are much higher.

Not exact matches

I could sit here and point out how stupid you are for believing in science, a group of people that once believed the Earth was flat as early as a few hundred years ago, or believed that bleeding someone out was the best way to cure the flu... or as early as the 40's and 50's that it was okay for people to drink water with high levels of radiation because it would give you energy and cure what ails ya.

We observe that at the lowest level of the evolutionary process, time is contingent in the sense that electronic and atomic radiations are short - lived, measured in millionths of a second; the movement is chaotic, diffused, haphazard, indeterminate as shown in the cloud chamber or the Brownian movement of molecules; the time is transient because entropy takes over; the movements are lost instead of being collected in the thing and perfective of the thing.

This amount of radiation is absolutely deadly to any one exposed for any length of time — You are dead within I hour with this level of exposure, This latest development has scuttled TEPCO's plans to decommission what's left of that exploded reactor because no one can be near enough to it to disassemble the wreckage.

Because the fast - reactor waste would contain no significant quantity of long - lived transuranics, its radiation would decay to the level of the ore from which it came in several hundred years, rather than tens of thousands.

Because hemiplasy is a hallmark of ILS and 87 % of the variation in indel incongruence is explained by branch length, our indel findings suggest high levels of ILS during the basal radiation of Neoaves, with comparable support for the ExaML or MP - EST * versions of the TENT.

They have to make people understand that low levels of radiation don't matter because we're all exposed to it all the time.»

Steve Wing, an epidemiologist from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, points out that even the low levels of radiation that remain in the environment could be significant in the long run «because so many more people are exposed, even though the dose per person decreases farther from the plant.»

«The problem can appear in winter due to low levels of UV radiation and because people cover most of their bodies,» the expert adds.

Local people were exposed to radiation levels up to 30 times safety limits because they were not evacuated until five hours after the accident occurred, say Japanese scientists.

The ozone season is selected because it is the part of the year with highest temperatures and strongest solar radiation and thus the time when photochemical reactions of ozone precursor gases are most likely to produce high ozone levels (Rice, 2014).

Children are more succeptable to getting cancer because their cells are dividing more rapidly (from radiation) And their IGF - 1 levels are higher than your.

Because the level of radiation exposure needed to perform radiography is very low, even pregnant females and very young pets can undergo radiography.

Because the level of radiation exposure needed to perform digital radiography is very low, even pregnant females and very young pets can undergo radiography.

The whole issue is that any level above what is often called the «effective radiating level» (say, at ~ 255 K on Earth) should start to cool as atmospheric CO2 increases, since the layers above this height are being shielded more strongly from upwelling radiation... except not quite, because convection distributes heating higher than this level, the stratosphere marks the point where convection gives out and there is high static stability.

Precisely because damage from very - low - level radiation can not be detected, people exposed to it are left in anguished uncertainty.

The downward radiation to the surface increases mainly because the low level air temperature increases, not because of the direct effect of increased CO2 in the air.

Social because of both a NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) attitude and irrational level of fear of radiation.

I do not believe that the surface at altitude receives less radiation than at sea level, in fact it should receive more because it passes through less atmosphere.

The back radiation which is entrained into the ocean bulk by wave action is minimal, because wave action subducts water which is well below the level back radiation can penetrate to (little more than its own wavelength).

At sea level, the energy content of the evaporated water molecules will be quite high, but the temperature of the air will not be because most of the air is N2 (temperature is an average), which isn't heated by IR radiation from the water vapor molecules.

The only way CO2 could absorb any more IR than it is already absorbing is if 1) the surface started re-emitting more IR, which could only happen if more sunlight reached the surface, or 2) atmospheric water vapor levels dropped, freeing up more IR to be absorbed by CO2, in which case, warming would not occur, because that radiation was already being absorbed by the water vapor that disappeared.

Likewise, the emission of CO2 within its absorption bands is just as effective as its interception, therefore this energy is partitioned throughout the atmosphere and radiated back to earth in its majority (because the escape of energy through the optically thick higher levels of the atmosphere reduces the flux, whereas the earth is still optically close by and a ready recipient of IR radiation.

Conclusion, CO2 (and its «back radiation») makes LITTLE difference, because at the same level of pressure on BOTH planets, the only thing that seems to matter is planetary distance from the sun.

Alastair, I think your mistake is in thinking that because the nitrogen and oxygen don't radiate, there's no radiation from a given level at all.
