Pollen count count is by using a Burkard Trap, also known as the seven-day volumetric spore trap. This device works by facing towards the wind and drawing in air by using a pump. The pollen particles drawn in by the pump are then trapped by a sticky wax film that is attached to a rotating drum. The drum slowly rotates one turn over the course of seven days while collecting particles. The tape is removed after one week and cut into day-length sections. Pollen count Pollen count is the measurement of the number of grains of pollen in a cubic meter of
Decay energy Decay energy The decay energy is the energy released by a radioactive decay. Radioactive decay is the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting ionizing particles and radiation. This decay, or loss of energy, results in an atom of one type, called the parent nuclide transforming to an atom of a different type, called the daughter nuclide. The energy difference of the reactants is often written as "Q": Decay energy is usually quoted in terms of the energy units MeV (million electronvolts) or keV (thousand electronvolts). Types of radioactive decay include The decay energy is the
