Decay modes are α size 12{α} {} , β − size 12{β rSup { size 8{ - {}} } } {} , β + size 12{β rSup { size 8{+{}} } } {} , electron capture (EC) and isomeric transition (IT). EC results in the same daughter nucleus as would β + size 12{β rSup { size 8{+{}} } } {} decay. IT is a transition from a metastable excited state. Energies for β ± size 12{β rSup { size 8{ +- {}} } } {} decays are the maxima; average energies are roughly one-half the maxima.

what's the difference between anatomy and physiology
Oyerinde Reply
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of the function of the body. Anatomy looks at the body's organs and systems, while physiology looks at how those organs and systems work together to keep the body functioning.

the normal temperature is 37°c or 98.6 °Fahrenheit is important for maintaining the homeostasis in the body the body regular this temperature through the process called thermoregulation which involves brain skin muscle and other organ working together to maintain stable internal temperature
