Almost all of the data on the biological effects of ionizing radiation come from studies of high doses. However, the human population is unlikely to be exposed to such doses. Regulatory limits for ...

Hermann J Muller revolutionized radiation genetics, received the Nobel Prize for producing gene mutations, and helped to create the linear non-threshold (LNT), the EPA’s default model for cancer risk ...

World War II ended with the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those bombings and the late effects of radiation on the development of cancers in those “survivors” spurred scientific inquiry into the ...

It is generally accepted that ionizing radiation – no matter how low – is a risk to human health. Robert P Crease argues that this notion needs to be examined more carefully Fear factor The idea that ...

There is hardly any literature on modelling nonlinear dynamic relations involving nonnormal time series data. This is a serious lacuna because nonnormal data are far more abundant than normal ones, ...

Stylistic examples of the net-benefit curve for the linear threshold model (in green) and the bi-threshold model (in blue). A model of human behavior finds that people will share information if enough ...

This study re-examines the non-linear relationship between inflation and economic growth in Southern African Development ...
