What are the units of radiation doses?
Sieverts and milliSieverts are used now. They replaced the old rem and millirem. There is a factor 100 difference, so 1 Sievert = 100 Rem. The current limit for nuclear industry employees is 20 milliSv/year, though the actual average level in the US is about 2.4 milliSv.
What are rems?
The Rem used to be used in Health Physics to measure radiation dose, it is an acronym for Rontgen Equivalent Man.(The methodology allows for the different effects of different types of radiation). The unit now used is the Sievert (Sv), 1 Sievert = 100 Rem. This is a large unit, so millisieverts are used for practical personnel radiation measures, so 1 millisievert = 100 millirem. Recommended radiation levels for nuclear workers are set by the ICRP (International Committee for Radiation Protection). These used to be set at 5 Rem/year (50 milliSv) but now the level is 20 milliSv/year ie 2 Rem/year. The use of Rem and millirem has been discontinued in the nuclear industry in favour of Sieverts and millisieverts. However as someone with nuclear experience going back to 1958 I find it difficult to think in Sieverts. For example I know that 500 Rem will kill roughly 1/2 the people exposed to it within a month, now I have to change that to 5 Sieverts. Fortunately that level of exposure has only happened once (at Chernobyl).
What is relation between sievert and rem?
The sievert (Sv) and rem (Roentgen equivalent man) are both units used to measure the equivalent dose of ionizing radiation, taking into account the biological effects on human tissue. One sievert is equal to 100 rem, with both units serving as a way to quantify the radiation dose and its potential impact on health.
Your cyclical changes in consciousness are an example of?
The cyclical changes in consciousness refer to the different stages of sleep, including REM (rapid eye movement) and non-REM sleep. These stages alternate throughout the night in a pattern known as the sleep cycle.
What type of brain waves are produce during sleep?
During sleep, different brain waves are produced depending on the sleep stage. For example, during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, the brain exhibits beta and theta waves, while in non-REM sleep stages, delta waves are prominent. Delta waves are associated with deep sleep and are typically seen in stages 3 and 4 of non-REM sleep.
Which unit of radiation dose rem or rad is most useful for describing the effect of radiation on living tissue?
rem
Which unit of radiation dose- rem or rad -is most useful for describing the effect of radiation on living tissue?
rem
What is a millirem?
Unit used to measure radiation dosage (1/1000 of a rem)
What is the difference between rad and rem?
The Rad is a unit of ionizing radiation, measuring its energy distribution in air. A Rontgen is similar, but it measures the energy absorbed by an object. A REM is a Rontgen Equivalent Man, so it measures the energy absorbed by a human being.
What unit are use to measure radiation?
Roentgen (or Becquerel)Rad (or Grey)Rem (or Sievart)Depending on what you want to measure
REM rebound involves the?
REM rebound involves the tendency for REM sleep to increase following REM sleep deprivation.
What wire goes to the rem on a amp?
The remote wire on an amp is usually connected to the remote turn-on lead from the head unit or a separate switched power source. This wire sends a signal to the amplifier to turn on or off based on when the head unit is powered on or off. It is typically colored blue on most wiring harnesses.
What is plural of rem?
The plural form of rem is rem.Ex: I have a lifetime dose of 3 rem.
What is the birth name of Rem Lebedev?
Rem Lebedev's birth name is Rem Fedorovich Lebedev.
When was Rem Krassilnikov born?
Rem Krassilnikov was born in 1927.
