Using Irradiation To Make Food Safer For Consumers
1,171 wordsUsing Irradiation to Make Food Safer for Consumers In the world today, there is a limited access to fresh and uncontaminated food. Gunjan Sign, of Popular Science, reports that "The U. S. Centers of Disease Control estimates 6. 5 million confirmed cases and more than 25 million additional unreported incidents of food poisoning each year" (65). For example, with seventy-five percent of the chicken in Europe and sixty percent of the chicken in the United States infected, salmonella is a serious pr...

I was sent for treatment with gamma rays. Wow! What a vacation. It was so hot that I had to jump into a pool just to cool off. Ultraviolet rays have wavelengths between 10 nm and 430 nm. They also have a very high frequency of about 10, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 Hz. - 1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 Hz. Photon energy emissions are al...

Gamma Rays Weak Points
671 wordsGamma Rays are Waves on the electromagnetic Spectrum that have a Wavelength of 10 or Higher and 11 down. Gamma Rays are produced in labs through the process of nuclear collision and also through the artificial Radioactivity that accompanies these interactions. The high energy nuclei needed for the collisions are accelerated by such devices such as the Cyclotron and synchrotron. There are also many uses for Gamma rays in Medicine. Gamma Rays are used in medicine to kill and treat certain types of...

Central Nervous System Withdrawal Symptoms
2,507 wordsGHB, or gamma-hydroxy butyrate, is a nutrient that is part of the metabolism process in mammalians. It can be found in every cell of the human body. The greatest quantities can be found in the kidney, heart, skeletal muscles, and brown fat tissues (Chin and Kreutzer, 1992). Chin and Kreutzer also believe it to be a neurotransmitter, however that has not yet been proven. GHB is known to be a metabolite and also a precursor of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). GHB and...
