Sentences with phrase «getting less radiation»

I am actually getting less radiation here than I would on the beach or in an airplane.

Not exact matches

Mild gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicity as reported by doctors was observed more frequently in patients getting the higher daily dose, shorter frequency radiation, but no differences were observed in more severe side effects, which were rare (less than 5 percent) with either regimen.

While overall rates of reconstruction increased, women who received radiation therapy were less likely to get reconstruction.

An individual's age also plays an important role in synthesising vitamin D from UV radiation, because the older one gets the less able one becomes to produce vitamin D: middle - aged adults have 66 % of the potential children have to do this.

Actually, though, most of the OLR originates from below the tropopause (can get up around 18 km in the tropics, generally lower)-- with a majority of solar radiation absorbed at the surface, a crude approximation can be made that the area emitting to space is less than 2 * (20/6371) * 100 % ~ = 0.628 % more than the area heated by the sun, so the OLR per unit area should be well within about 0.6 % of the value calculated without the Earth's curvature (I'm guessing it would actually be closer to if not less than 0.3 % different).

Urban areas are also less adept at getting rid of heat through thermal radiation because they produce a greater volume of emissions that trap the heat.

No, less than 2.5 % of the solar radiation gets through the Venus atmosphere, and only 1W / m ^ 2 gets through at the poles.

If less energy comes in, the governor will try to maintain the energy flux into the system (Willis's retarding the appearance of clouds) but once all stops have been pulled out (the sky is clear morning to night), then the engine slows down — slower air and water currents, less addition of heat to the polar areas, dissipation of what heat has accumulated by radiation into space and return cold water not getting the heating it formerly did.

Result: less radiation gets through, ergo, more CO2 impedes radiation.

Vertical south facing collectors get automatic protection during the summer because the summer sun is much higher in the sky, and provides less effective radiation on the collectors.

Can you also explain precisely how the required thermal energy gets into and raises the temperature of the Venus surface during sunlit hours, noting that the surface temperature rises from 732K to 737K and the direct solar radiation into the surface is less than 20W / m ^ 2.

For this reason, the shell will receive less W / sqm from Earth radiation than is emitted by the surface, because the radiation will spread out by the inverse square law just as sunlight gets less intense the further from the sun you get, and the shell will radiate more to space than back to Earth.

-- Yes, it may be correct in so far as they can say that; «around 10 % of the wavebands emitted by IR radiation are made up of wave - lengths that can not be absorbed by «Greenhouse Gases» (GHGs), but that can not possibly mean that 0.04 %, in the case of CO2 concentration but certainly less than 10 % of the Atmosphere as a total has got what must be a «supernatural» ability to stop LWR.

After the eruption, as soon as the temperature starts to drop, we get less and later daily tropical clouds and thunderstorms, and this rapidly counteracts the loss of radiation.

That happens partly through «new» absorption of radiation that more or less used to escape directly from the surface, as well as absorption and re-emission of radiation that used to get absorbed and re-emitted at lower layers, but now (at higher CO2) does so at higher layers.
