Doctors will order a chloride sweat test for kids with positive newborn screen for cystic fibrosis, a family history of cystic fibrosis, or symptoms of the disorder. Symptoms and signs include failure to grow, repeated lung infections, and digestive problems.
In nuclear physics, beta decay (Î²-decay) is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta ray, and a respective neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus.
Alpha decay is one type of radioactive decay, in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle, and thereby transforms (or decays) into an atom with a mass number decreased by 4 and atomic number decreased by 2.adioactive decay is a stochastic (i.e. random) process at the level of single atoms, in that, according to quantum theory, it is impossible to predict when a particular atom will decay.
