The ratio of the activity of the SLRDs to the activity of the radon gas is called the Equilibration Ratio (ER). Equilibrium usually occurs in about three to four hours. When an individual receives a dose of one WL in 170 hours (a miner's month), the exposure then becomes called a working level month or WLM.
I imagine it was probably my first Prehospital Trauma Life Support class back in 1990 that I first heard of the three collision rule. Since then, it has remained a useful tool in examining the mechanism of injury after auto accidents. If you havenât heard of it, please allow me to elaborate. The three collision rule states that, in any auto accident, there are three collisions that occur and the keen EMT needs to be aware of all three.
The particles are so tiny that the task of making them collide is akin to firing two needles 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) apart with such precision that they meet halfway, CERN writes in its description of the LHC. When the beams do collide, their combined energy is enough to melt 1,100 pounds of copper.The LHC will create roughly 600 million collisions per second when it revs up to full power a few months from now. The collisions happen at four points along the 17-mile-long ring.hen the beams do collide, their combined energy is enough to melt 1,100 pounds of copper.
