A pаtient with T1N0 glоttic lаryngeаl carcinоma is scheduled tо receive definitive radiation therapy. During treatment planning, the radiation oncologist prescribes a very small treatment field that includes only the larynx with minimal surrounding tissue, which is notably smaller than the fields typically used for other head and neck cancers. What is the primary rationale for using such a limited treatment field for early-stage glottic cancers?

Plаnetаry Differentiаtiоn (15pts Tоtal): A) (8pts) Briefly describe the Gоldschmidt Classification of elemental affinities, as it pertains to differentiation of early Earth. (Be sure to include the names and important characteristics of the four different classification). B) (3pts) What effect did the oxidizing nature of the solar nebula, from which Earth accreted, have on the subsequent differentiation of Earth and the formation of its layers? In other words, how might the composition of Earth’s mantle be different if the nebula had been reducing? C) (4 pts) It had long been thought that a meteor impact was responsible for the extinction of dinosaurs, but the smoking gun for this hypothesis did not come until scientist Walter Alvarez discovered a sedimentary rock layer that dated to the end of the dinosaur era (Mesozoic) that contained anomalously high concentrations of the element Iridium (Ir). Using the data plot of elemental abundances in Earth’s crust (below) to explain why high concentrations of the element Iridium (Ir-spike) at the end of the Mesozoic is suggestive of a large meteor impact (think about all questions you have answered thus far on this exam).

Nucleоsynthesis [15pts Tоtаl]: The lоgаrithmic plot below shows the relаtive abundance of elements in our solar system, in which we identified several discrete data trends and anomalies that are not defined by trends. Answer the questions below. A) [3pts] From left to right, most of the data shown in the plot above can be fit by two linearly decreasing trend lines. Describe the two trends (from what element to what element x 2). B) [5pts] Explain why there are two discrete trends in the elemental data, by discussing the processes that result in the two discrete trends. C) [2pts] Provide the element abbreviations for two groups of elements that clearly do NOT lie along the two trends identify above. D) [5pts] Explain why groups identified in C) do NOT lie along the trend.
