Gamma tocopherol is the most consumed form of vitamin E in North American diets and may prevent cancer cell replication. It is found in foods such as annatto, palm oil, and rice. Gamma tocopherol exhibits greater anti-inflammatory properties than alpha tocopherol and inhibits the enzyme COX-2, reducing inflammation in patients with asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and […]
Gamma tocotrienol is a powerful antioxidant and a form of vitamin E found in virgin palm oil, barley, oats, and rye. Its chemical structure makes it more effective at entering tissues and more potent than tocopherol. Studies show it can reduce cholesterol, prevent heart attacks, and shrink tumors in prostate, breast, stomach, and colon cancers. […]
Gamma meditation uses brainwave entrainment to produce gamma waves, which can improve health and well-being. The human brain produces alpha, beta, theta, and delta waves during different stages of wakefulness and sleep. Gamma waves were discovered more recently and can be produced by listening to an entrainment CD. Practitioners claim that gamma meditation can improve […]
Gamma ray recording measures natural radioactivity in the ground, with a high correlation to sediment- and clay-rich rocks called shales, indicating nearby oil and natural gas deposits. Geologists drill boreholes and use probes to measure gamma rays at different depths, with spectral recording identifying different types of radiation. Gamma ray recording can also be used […]
Gamma Knife is a non-invasive neurosurgery technique that delivers radiation to a precise point in the brain to treat abnormalities such as tumors or seizures. It is a painless and silent treatment that greatly reduces the risk of complications. The biggest risk is brain swelling, which can be treated with medication. Follow-up appointments are necessary […]
The Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, launched in 1991, used scintillators to record gamma rays from astronomical events such as gamma-ray bursts and thunderclouds. It discovered soft gamma repeaters, believed to be magnetars, and completed a survey of pulsars and supernova remnants before being deorbited in 2000. The Compton Gamma Ray Observatory is a space telescope […]
Gamma counters measure gamma radiation in samples using luminescent crystals that emit light when photons from gamma rays interact with them. Gamma radiation is harmful and can damage or kill cells. The accuracy of the counter depends on the crystal used, and modern gamma counters can have multiple detectors and sample channels. Proper calibration is […]
Gamma scalping is a strategy used by option traders to take advantage of market movements by re-centering their positions. It involves buying both a put and a call option for the same underlying stock and rebalancing the delta to profit regardless of the direction of subsequent market moves. This strategy is used to counteract the […]
Gamma rays are the highest energy and shortest wavelength electromagnetic radiation, with a wavelength of less than 1 picometer. They are generated in energetic events and can penetrate through thick shields. Gamma rays are ionizing radiation and can strip electrons from atoms, causing disruptions. Gamma ray bursts are the most energetic activity in the universe […]
