Potassium iodide blocks thyroid absorption of radioactive iodine, an early risk in a nuclear release.

However, after absorption of multiple infrared photons a molecule may gain internal energy to overcome its barrier for dissociation.

Just as chlorophyll serves to absorb light in natural photosynthesis, suitable materials are needed to capture and convert sunlight in artificial systems.

Another application is CADq, which quantifies, e.g., the size of a tumor or the tumor's behavior in contrast medium uptake.

The 7 trillion decline in US house prices over the past two years was equivalent to the explosion of an atomic bomb.

This test procedure typically involves two tests performed in connection with each other an iodine uptake test and a scan (imaging) with a gamma camera.

Some Parties also identified as options for limiting emissions from agriculture the promotion of land use planning, encouragement of integrated farming, promotion of low tillage or no tillage agriculture, banning of sugar cane burning prior to harvest, post harvest management (including the avoidance of burning of farm waste), ploughing of vegetative waste into the soil, management and administration of grasslands and changes in the use and handling of crop residues.

The goal is not to absorb shocks but to reduce income gaps across regions.

Using information on a Color for electromagnetic radiation to determine its thermal radiation properties of reflection or absorption can assist the choices.

It was correctly deduced that dark lines in the solar spectrum are caused by absorption by chemical elements in the Solar atmosphere.

While the primary function of the below ground mycelia is to absorb nutrients from the soil, the rhizomorphs serve a more exploratory function, to locate new food bases.

The electrons could move between these states, or orbits, by the emission or absorption of photons at specific frequencies.

In the process of absorption the coal releases previously absorbed methane, and the methane can be recovered (enhanced coal bed methane recovery).

By using a telescope which flew at over 42,000 meters high, it was possible to reduce the atmospheric absorption of microwaves to a minimum.

So if the web was made entirely out of dragline silk, an insect is very likely to just bounce right off. But by having really, really stretchy capture spiral silk, the web is actually able to absorb the impact of that intercepted prey.

On your right hand side you can see a cucumber leaf, and on the middle, cotton leaf, and on the left a tomato leaf with these little stipplings.

So if I was to walk outside in the rain wearing this dress today, I would immediately start to absorb huge amounts of water.

And, given that many goods are no longer produced in the US, stimulus measures would suck in more imports, further undermining the trade balance.

Proper nutrition requires ingestion and absorption of vitamins, minerals, and food energy in the form of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

Blood sugar is regulated by insulin, glucagons, and other hormones that control its release from the liver or its uptake by the tissues.

The most exciting prospect held out by Venter, however, is a form of algae that can absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to create diesel fuel or gasoline.

Coffee consumption can lead to iron deficiency anemia by interfering with iron absorption, especially in mothers and infants.

In radiative transfer, it describes the absorption and scattering of radiation in a medium, such as a plasma, dielectric, shielding material, glass, etc.

We know it's a lot, but we do not yet know the answers to how much, and by what processes, carbon is being taken out of the atmosphere, held in its biomass, and moving on through the ecosystem.

My uncle Jasim told me things were much better today, there was still a fear but people had begun to recover. We've managed to absorb the shock of that initial attack, he said, and that is helping us get by today.

Such changes may well lead to a dramatic reduction in the use of SSRI s in treating depressed children and adolescents.

There is evidence of increasing acidification of the oceans due to increased carbon dioxide absorption, with far reaching consequences for the survival of coral reefs and the dynamics of organisms in the oceans that are the basis of the marine food chain.

Most air heat fabricators and some water heat manufacturers have a completely flooded absorber consisting of two sheets of metal which the fluid passes between.

I discovered then that no matter how much honey you swallow, nothing can bring your voice back after such full throated shouting, before you reach a security branch.

Protein coagulation is thought to limit uptake of these toxic materials by surrounding tissues, however it is this fact that limits its usefulness as a treatment agent in general.

But manufacturing today is not what it used to be. It has become much more capital and skill intensive, with greatly diminished potential to absorb large amounts of labor from the countryside.

He viewed that the term availability involves two notions (a) the ability of plant root to absorb and use the water with which it is in contact and (b) the readiness or velocity with which the soil water moves in to replace that which has been used by the plant.

The primary cause of heat build up in cities is insolation, the absorption of solar radiation by roads and buildings in the city and the storage of this heat in the building material and its subsequent re radiation.

And they took it to Washington they showed them and they're going to be involved now, watching how these things get absorbed in a number of cities, like Atlanta, where we're doing trials to see if it really can, in fact, help re energize their downtown.
