Roentgen (unit) absorbed dose in a wide range of matter. When measuring absorbed dose in a human due to external exposure, the SI unit the gray, or the related non-SI rad are used. From these can be developed the dose equivalents to consider biological effects from differing radiation types and target materials. These are equivalent dose, and effective dose for which the SI unit sievert or the non-SI rem are used. The following table shows radiation quantities in SI and non-SI units: Roentgen (unit) The roentgen or röntgen () (symbol R) is a legacy unit of measurement for the exposure of X-rays
Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute careers in basic and translational research through a curriculum of focused, multi-disciplinary instruction. In 2015, SBP achieved accreditation with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. SBP also employs postdoctoral fellows; there are typically around 250 postdocs training at SBP at any time. The endowment was recorded at as low as $15.2 million, a 13 percent drop from nearly $17.5 million in February 2008, due largely to losses on investments. Its endowment stood at $22.5 million as of Dec. 31, 2009.
