A glimpse into the future of radiation therapy

Physics World

Citing the ESTRO 2022 programme, she noted that many researchers are already developing adaptation and personalization for every part of the radiation treatment chain. Instead, even though it may be hard to use and difficult to interpret, use this information to personalize radiation therapy at every level for every patient.”.

CMIP6: Not-so-sudden stratospheric cooling

Real Climate

In the band of radiation where CO2 absorbs a lot (~15 $mu$m), increasing CO2 levels in the troposphere make it ever harder for those photons to get to the stratosphere or above. CMIP6 model spread and mean compared to the NOAA-STAR observations for three SSU channels (using the historical simulations continued by SSP5-85 after 2014).

It is not as though people have not tried – we discussed this here in 2014, where we made a plea for better graphs of the global temperature. All of which adds to the uncertainty. Now, 10 years later, we finally have something. They get an ESS around 7.7±0.6ºC 0.6ºC (95% CI).

Missouri Community and Its Children Grappling With Conflicting Nuclear Waste Exposure Reports

Union of Concerned Scientists

Radiation exposure can damage the DNA in cells leading to a host of health problems including cancer and auto-immune disorders. What’s more troubling is the Centers for Disease Control reports children and young adults, especially girls and women, are more sensitive to the effects of radiation. UCS also suggests consideration of St.
