• Definitions:
• A unit of dose, called the "dose equivalent," that is used in the regulatory, administrative, and engineering design aspects of ...
• this is a light sleep when dreams occur and the eyes move rapidly back and forth.
• The stage of sleep that is characterized by decreased muscle tone, rapid eye movements and dreaming.
• A period of intense brain activity often associated with dreams; named for the rapid eye movements that occur during this time. Also called dreaming sleep.
• Roentgen equivalent man, a unit used in radiation protection to measure the amount of damage to human tissue from a dose of ionizing radiation. Incorporates the health risks from radiation.
• (roentgen equivalent man) – an off-system unit of dose equivalent, equal to 0.01 Sv.
• Remainderman: a term used in a life estate. A life estate is an estate for the duration of an individual's life. At the time of that person's death, the estate ends and the property reverts to the grantor or to a third party, the remainderman.
• A measure of dose deposited in body tissue, averaged over the body. One rem is approximately the dose from any radiation corresponding to exposure to one röntgen of g radiation. The rem is no longer accepted for use with the International System. One rem is equivalent to 0.01 sievert.
• A measure of radiation dose related to biological effect.
• A unit of equivalent absorbed dose of radiation, taking account of the relative biological effectiveness of the particular radiation. The dose in rems is the dose in rads multiplied by the RBE.
• Roentgen Man Equivalent. A unit of absorbed dose.
• The unit of dose equivalent (DE) is expressed as rem (roentgen equivalent man) and defined as the product of absorbed dose (D) in radians and other necessary modifying factors
• common unit for measuring human radiation doses, usually in millirems (1,000 millirems = 1 rem).
• Roentgen Equivalent Man
• Resource Efficiency Manager
• Special unit of the radiation protection quantity "dose equivalent". Dose equivalent is obtained by multiplying absorbed dose by a "quality factor", which has higher values for higher LET radiations. When dose is expressed in rads, dose equivalent is in rems.
• (Roentgen Equivalent Man) A unit used to express all types of ionizing radiations on a common scale to indicate relative biological effects. For beta and gamma radiations: Exposure to 1 Roentgen delivers a dose of 1 Rad, which is equivalent to 1 Rem.
• remote control
• The dose equivalent concept allows the scaling up of the absorbed dose in order to better compare the effect of different types of radiation on human systems. ...
• A unit of exposure to ionizing radiation; an estimate of the health risk that exposure to ionizing radiation could have on human tissue.
• remain(ing)
• Unit for measuring radiation doses, which takes into account the degree of harmful effects on biological tissue caused by each type of radiation - eg exposure to one roentgen of X-rays gives an absorbed dose of one rem. The term comes from "roentgen equivalent:man".
• The rem is the unit of radiation accounting for the different effects of different types of radiation. In order to calculate the equivalent dose in rem, absorbed dose must first be established. This number is then multiplied by a radiation weighting factor depending on the type of radiation. ...
• measure of the accumulation of radioactivity received over a period of time related to the amount of damage caused to living tissue
• "rapid eye movement"- a stage of sleep where dreaming occurs along with generalized muscle paralysis with the exception of the diaphragm and eyes
• paradoxical sleep: a recurring sleep state during which dreaming occurs; a state of rapidly shifting eye movements during sleep (Roentgen Equivalent Man) the dosage of ionizing radiation that will cause the same amount of injury to human tissue as 1 roentgen of X-rays
• Rém is a village in Bács-Kiskun county, Hungary.
• In Egyptian mythology, Rem ("to weep") is a fish god who fertilizes the land with its tears. He is the personification of Ra's tears.
