    RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The ability of Pleurotus citrinopleatus and Aspergillus niger exposed to two doses of gamma irradiation (1 and 2 KGy) and immobilized on wheat straw to decolorize the dyes had been studied. Table 2 shows peaks of wavelengths of different types of dyes before and after decolorization. Peaks of reactive red 6 BX, direct brown BN, direct yellow 5 G, disperse orange 2RLS, disperse violet 3RS, sulpher black Br and sulpher brown SG were at 295, 240, 400, 444, 499, 220 and 250nm were

    tumors are destructive. Essential mind tumors disease at first structures in the cerebrum tissue. Numerous studies have been conducted on various potential ecological risk factors. Of the numerous components studied, only one (introduction to ionizing radiation)has been unmistakably shown to expand the danger of creating cerebrum tumors. A few studies have demonstrated that a background marked by hypersensitivities as a grown-up, a mother eating products of the soil while pregnant, eating foods grown

    density, contrast, and spatial resolution and lower the patient’s radiation dose. Most importantly, to ensure that small abnormalities won’t be covered by overlying breast tissue. In routine screening procedures, each breast should be screened using the craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) projections; however, there are 13 projections that can be performed. Once the breast is positioned, a low dose of ionizing radiation is sent through the tissue from the vacuum tube to produce black

    3D Mammography The diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer and other non-cancerous diseases are very important in improving the quality of life for many women. The early diagnosis of the non-cancerous disease can reduce the incidence of breast cancer through effective treatment of mastopathy (fibrocystic of the breasts tissue). In the area of study, a variety of imaging modalities is implemented to assist with the diagnosis. These imaging modalities includes multi-frequency electrical impedance

Radiation protection is the science of protecting the public and the surrounding atmosphere from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation (both particle radiation and high energy electromagnetic radiation).Particle radiation is produced by of very fast-moving subatomic particles, where all particles are moving in the same way, similar to a light beam. There are three factors that control and minimise the amount, or dose, of radiation received from a source; time
