However, you have my word the dose was a normal one.

What's the dose?

Source The Daily Dose.

In those situations, the collective dose is still a useful quantity, provided it is made clear that the collective dose is that committed by the relevant source or unit of practice.

However, to ensure a clear distinction between the absorbed dose and its weighted analogues, it has been agreed that the unit of equivalent dose and of effective dose should have the special name sievert (Sv).

Annual collective effective dose a

Don't reduce it. It makes me nervous.

Because the proportion of cells killed depends on dose, the severity of the deterministic effect also depends on dose.

Basis of commitment

Dosage has something to do with this.

And this is the dosage that the doctor's requesting.

We have to figure out the dosage in terms of milliliters.

The measure. Drink and pass.

The unit of effective dose commitment is the sievert.

Annual effective doses to adults from natural sources

He received high dose radiation to the head.

Oh, she overdoes. That's the whole trouble.

Although it wasn't enough to kill him.

For most purposes, the Committee uses the average absorbed dose in a tissue or whole organism rather than the absorbed dose at a point.

Since both the radiation weighting factor and the tissue weighting factor are dimensionless quantities, the dimensions of the equivalent dose and the effective dose are the same as the dimensions of the absorbed dose, and the unit is the same, the joule per kilogram.

The Committee also uses the collective effective dose, which is the average dose to an exposed population or group multiplied by the number of people in the group.

I'm going to leave you with a little bit more birdsong.

The probability, but not the severity, of the cancer increases with dose.

Collective dose can be a misleading basis on which to make judgements.

In a slightly larger quantity, of course, it induces madness.

If she doesn't sleep, repeat the dose in 2 hours.

A sublethal dose probably wouldn't show up anyway.

Even if the total collective dose is taken to be 105 man Sv, it is a small fraction of the collective effective dose committed by the test programmes.

And I'm very happy to report that we're now using a dose of radiation that is equivalent to the effective dose from one digital mammogram.

Add to this a regular dose of North Korean irrationality.

The number of neural cells that are misconnected depends on dose.

The unit of collective effective dose is the man sievert (man Sv).

The dose referred to is almost always the effective dose.

Table 1.

So in our solution, how many grams are there per milliliter?

The equivalent dose in each tissue or organ is multiplied by a tissue weighting factor, and the sum of these products over the whole body is called the effective dose.

The probability of causing such harm is zero at small doses of radiation, but above some level of dose (the threshold) it increases steeply to unity (100 per cent).

The estimated annual effective dose per caput from all diagnostic uses of radiation is 1.1 mSv in countries of health care level I and about 0.3 mSv averaged over the whole world.

So we just converted our dosage information to a pure metric system.

And we're using a natural extract within the same dosage window as a pure pharmaceutical.

I'm going to leave you with a little bit more birdsong. (Birds chirping)

A lethal dose of the insecticide is absorbed by insects which come into contact with the surface.

Above the threshold, the severity of the harm also increases with dose.

Tissue failures are therefore dependent on both dose and dose rate.

The global collective dose will be larger by a factor of between 10 and 100.
