globulin
▪
I had had my shots of gamma globulin , rabies vaccine and tetanus, and sometimes remembered to take my quinine.
▪
Communities set up clinics to deliver free gamma globulin shots to schoolchildren.
radiation
▪
The conventional treatment for large tumours, deep within the body, is to bombard them with powerful doses of gamma radiation .
▪
Local doses are often underestimated and plexiglass shielding converts some energy into penetrating gamma radiation .
▪
They used two spectrometers to analyse gamma radiation given off by the blanket.
ray
▪
The radiation emitted by these isotopes consists of alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays .
▪
The idea, in both the military and medical applications, is to use gamma rays to search for signs of radiation.
▪
Fresh soil samples, taken recently in the presence of journalists, are currently being investigated for gamma rays and alpha particles.
▪
X-rays and gamma rays are the shortest electromagnetic waves, with wavelengths less than a 1000 millionths of a centimetre.
▪
Indeed, both gamma rays and X-rays can be extremely damaging to living cells.
▪
Moreover, the detector would have to be in space, because gamma rays can not penetrate the atmosphere.
▪
We must lift detectors above the atmosphere to study gamma rays , X-rays, ultraviolet and long infrared radiations.
▪
From these we get our word alphabet, delta, and gamma which gives us gamma rays .
EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS
▪
Beta and gamma emissions can be detected by scintillation counters.
▪
Fields in the range of interest are usually measured in gamma , one gauss being 100,000 gamma.
▪
Gastric emptying tests with radiolabelled meals and gamma camera imaging have proved popular for many years in clinical research and physiological studies.
▪
Hemoglobin F, or fetal hemoglobin, is composed of two alpha chains and two gamma chains. 214.
▪
The gamma dose rate proved to be only about 20 percent - reasonably typical for clay materials.
▪
The radiation emitted by these isotopes consists of alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays.
▪
These plasma cells produce a homogeneous immunoglobulin protein which stains as a well-defined peak in the gamma region.

We must lift detectors above the atmosphere to study gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet and long infrared radiations.
