Radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy) is a cancer treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. At low doses, radiation is used in x-rays to see inside your body, as with x-rays of your teeth or broken bones.
Radiation can cause side effects that make it hard to eat, such as nausea, mouth sores, and throat problems called esophagitis. Since your body uses a lot of energy to heal during radiation therapy, it is important that you eat enough calories and protein to maintain your weight during treatment.
If you are having trouble eating and maintaining your weight, talk to your doctor or nurse. You might also find it helpful to speak with a dietitian. For more information about coping with eating problems see the booklet Eating Hints or read more about side effects.
An old but/and efficient way is simply to model and texture the light effect, like in this example: Richard's Art Gallery - Audio Tour - Download Free 3D model by rlockett (@rlockett) - Sketchfab
Your FPS will love it.
Something like this, I just stopped sampling noise on my volume cube and set it to a base density value and we have volumetric fog and this seems to not be that intensive of a effect at all when not procedurally generating noise ^_^.
after talking I really thought about it all and realized if we are doing it as a post effect from just the user perspective and toss out the whole container cube idea I could prolly really control the performance, and we could deploy fancy boy effects for little cost.
For some types of cancer, radiation and chemotherapy or other types of anti-cancer drugs might be used together. Certain drugs (called radiosensitizers) help radiation work better by making cancer cells more sensitive to radiation. Research has shown that when anti-cancer drugs and radiation are given together for certain types of cancer, they can help each other work even better than if they were given alone. One drawback, though, is that side effects are often worse when they are given together.

Ionizing radiation is a type of energy released by atoms that travels in the form of electromagnetic waves (gamma or X-rays) or particles (neutrons, beta or alpha). The spontaneous disintegration of atoms is called radioactivity, and the excess energy emitted is a form of ionizing radiation. Unstable elements which disintegrate and emit ionizing radiation are called radionuclides.
People are also exposed to natural radiation from cosmic rays, particularly at high altitude. On average, 80% of the annual dose of background radiation that a person receives is due to naturally occurring terrestrial and cosmic radiation sources. Background radiation levels vary geographically due to geological differences. Exposure in certain areas can be more than 200 times higher than the global average.
The effective dose is used to measure ionizing radiation in terms of the potential for causing harm. The sievert (Sv) is the unit of effective dose that takes into account the type of radiation and sensitivity of tissues and organs. It is a way to measure ionizing radiation in terms of the potential for causing harm. In addition to the amount of radiation (dose), the rate at which the dose is delivered (dose rate), described in microsieverts per hour (μSv/hour) or millisievert per year (mSv/year), is an important parameter.
Beyond certain thresholds, radiation can impair the functioning of tissues and/or organs and can produce acute effects such as skin redness, hair loss, radiation burns, or acute radiation syndrome. These effects are more severe at higher doses and higher dose rates. For instance, the dose threshold for acute radiation syndrome is about 1 Sv (1000 mSv).
If the radiation dose is low and/or it is delivered over a long period of time (low dose rate), the risk is substantially low because there is a greater likelihood of repairing the damage. There is still a risk of long-term effects such as cataract or cancer, however, that may appear years or even decades later. Effects of this type will not always occur, but their likelihood is proportional to the radiation dose. This risk is higher for children and adolescents as they are significantly more sensitive to radiation exposure than adults.
While UVA and UVB rays differ in how they affect the skin, they both do harm. Unprotected exposure to UVA and UVB damages the DNA in skin cells, producing genetic defects, or mutations, that can lead to skin cancer and premature aging. UV rays can also cause eye damage, including cataracts and eyelid cancers.
UV exposure that leads to sunburn has proven to play a strong role in developing melanoma, a dangerous type of skin cancer. Research shows that the UV rays that damage skin can also alter a gene that suppresses tumors, raising the risk of sun-damaged skin cells developing into skin cancer.
The interaction between galactic cosmic rays and AlfvÃn waves in the interstellar medium is investi- gated. They may interact adiabatically through magnetic mirror scattering or non-adiabatically through gyration frequency resonance. The equations describing the latter are derived. The growth rates for the waves are given, and the Fokker-Planck equation for the diffusion of cosmic rays in velocity space is derived. These two equations are applied to a model of the cosmic rays consisting of a uniform tube of magnetic field with open ends. An equation of spatial diffusion is derived in the limit of strong wave- particle scattering, and this equation is compared with the observed properties of the galactic cosmic rays to derive a mean free path for scattering of about 10 pc. It is shown that when the interstellar damping of the AlfvÃn waves is included, the waves are probably marginally stable. Finally, a self- consistent model is specified in which the sources of turbulence and cosmic rays are given and the cosmic- ray densities are to be determined. This model is solved in the crude approximation where all particles have effectively the same energy and all waves the same wavelength. It is shown that the cosmic rays can have an appreciable effect on their confinement to the Galaxy. It is shown that if the inhomogeneous distribution of mass is taken into account, the confinement of cosmic rays is determined primarily by the low-density regions between the clouds. An attempt is made to evaluate the efficiency of heating of cosmic rays, and it appears that their energy changes very little during their galactic confinement. However, because there is a non-linear relation between the source and the cosmic-ray density, the observed energy spectrum does not necessarily represent the emitted spectrum
Once again I was in a design review, and encountered the claim that the probability of a particular scenario was "less than the risk of cosmic rays" affecting the program, and it occurred to me that I didn't have the faintest idea what that probability is.
"Since 2-128 is 1 out of 340282366920938463463374607431768211456, I think we're justified in taking our chances here, even if these computations are off by a factor of a few billion... We're way more at risk for cosmic rays to screw us up, I believe."
Wikipedia cites a study by IBM in the 90s suggesting that "computers typically experience about one cosmic-ray-induced error per 256 megabytes of RAM per month." Unfortunately the citation was to an article in Scientific American, which didn't give any further references. Personally, I find that number to be very high, but perhaps most memory errors induced by cosmic rays don't cause any actual or noticable problems.
