AN EXPERIMENTAL CABINET FOR PHYSIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF EMOTIONS
It is perhaps particularly true in the study of emotions that external factors which can be standardized may be of little moment in comparison with unstandardizable intra-organic factors. It is also true that in the study of emotions standardization may defeat its own purpose through the requirement of laboratory condi...

Medical Dosimetry. Medical dosimetry is a part of the field of radiation oncology involving knowledge of advanced mathematics, radiobiology, physics and anatomy. In order to shrink or eliminate tumor growth, some patients receive limited doses of radiation internally or externally.
DEFINITION. Dosimetry is the study, measurement, method of measurement, or instrument of measurement of radiation dose. Dosimetry often refers to the status of wearing a personnel badge that measures and monitors dose. It may also refer to dose history and the records where dose history is maintained.
