Radiation (Automotive)

The method of heat transfer through infrared radiation.

Radiation (Cancer)

The process of emitting radiant energy in the form of waves or particles. Radiation can be used as therapy to stop cancer cells from growing and dividing.

Radiation (Cellular)

The emission and transmission of energy through space or through a material medium.

Radiation (Chemistry)

Energy in the form of photons.

Radiation (Climatology)

(1) the process by which radiated energy moves through space or material media; (2) energy propagated through space or through material media in the form of an advancing disturbance in electric and magnetic fields (e.g., visible light, x-rays, microwaves, radio waves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet waves, cosmic rays, etc.)

Radiation (Construction)

Energy transmitted from a heat source to the air around it. Radiators actually depend more on convection than radiation.

Radiation (Electric Power)

The emission and propagation of energy by means of electromagnetic waves or particles.

Radiation (Energy)

The flow of energy across open space via electromagnetic waves such as light. Passage of heat from one object to another without warming the air space in between.

Radiation (Environment)

Transmission of energy though space or any medium. Also known as radiant energy.

Radiation (Environmental Toxins)

Fast particles and electromagnetic waves emitted from the nucleus of an atom during radioactive disintegration.

Radiation (Explosives)

Radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of Waves through space or through a material medium; the term also applies to the radiated energy itself. The term includes electromagnetic, acoustic, and particle radiation, and all forms of ionizing radiation. According to Quantum Theory,Electromagnetic Radiation may be viewed as made up of Photons. Acoustic radiation is propagated as sound waves. Examples of particle radiation are alpha and beta rays in Radioactivity, and Cosmic Rays.

Radiation (Food Irradiation)

Rays of energy.

Radiation (Food Safety)

Rays of energy.

Radiation (Geography)

The release of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves. Often used to describe the release of harmful substances during the production nuclear energy

Radiation (Green Energy)

Transfer that requires no physical medium. The sun radiates heat to the Earth, and our own bodies radiate too.

Radiation (Health)

1. Radiosurgery used most often to treat brain tumors and vascular lesions
2. Anti-cancer therapy or treatment using high-energy rays beamed to the tumor site to destroy cancer cells

Radiation (Medical)

A variety of types of energy, such as X-rays and ultraviolet

Radiation (Men's Health)

Use of high-energy radiation from x-rays, neutrons, and other sources to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.

Radiation (Natural Gas)

The transmission of energy by means of electromagnetic waves. Radiant energy of any wave length may, when absorbed, become thermal energy and result in an increase in the temperature of the absorbing body.

Radiation (Nuclear)

The emission of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles.

Radiation (Nutrition)

Energy that is emitted or transmitted in the form of waves. The term is often used to refer to radioactivity; however, radioactivity is a specific type of radiation that comes from the decay of unstable atoms.

Radiation (Oceanography)

Radiation is the means by which energy is transmitted through space. It can travel as waves or particles.

Radiation (Physical Geography)

The emission and propagation of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.

Radiation (Roofing)

Any heated surface loses heat to cooler surrounding space or surfaces through radiation. The earth receives its heat from the sun by radiation. The heat rays are turned into heat as they strike an object which will absorb some or all of the heat transmitted.

Radiation (Satellite Meteorology)

Energy that moves through space or a medium in the form of a wave with electric and magnetic fields. Also called radiant energy.

Radiation (Weather)

The process by which energy is propagated through any medium by virtue of the wave motion of that medium. Electromagnetic radiation, which emits heat and light, is one form. Sound waves are another.

Radiation (Women's Health)

Treatment using radiation to destroy cancer cells.

Radiation (Womens Health)

Treatment using radiation to destroy cancer cells.
