The front of the white paper packet of the OSL dosimeters may be color-coded to facilitate correct usage and placement of the badge on the body of occupationally exposed personnel.
OSL dosimeters are recently developed and are of high quality than thermoluminescent dosimeters. It is used to monitor patients health status. Furthermore, it is very sensitive to any change or drop in reading. it give accurate readings even at 1 mrem for both gamma ray photos and X-rays.

Answer and Explanation:
Red Rock Canyon is an area of universal geologic interest, located a few miles west of Las Vegas within the Mojave Desert. Many experienced geologists visit the Red Rock; they are surprised by the vivid colors of rocks, natural beauty, and rock formations. A visual display takes million years to make the masterpiece known as the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation area. About 500 million years ago, Red Rock Canyon was found at the bottom of an ocean basin. Limestone accumulated in this ocean basin, which contains the fossils of sea life. The tracks of two-footed meat-eating dinosaurs have been found in the Aztec Sandstone. The tracks of small animals such as spiders, scorpions, early mammals, and proto-mammals were also found. The fossils and rock layers that are found in Red Rock Canyon provide evidence for Earth’s geologic history. Paleontologists are still searching these areas.
The answer is - because over 90% of this biome has been converted to agriculture.
This biome has been much larger before the development of the agriculture in this part of the USA, but because this biome provided large territories with deep fertile soil and predominantly lowland areas, people started using it for agriculture because it was the most suitable for that. So little by little, the biome was declining and more and more of it was becoming agricultural land.
