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 ...

Now it is official. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) decisively upheld the Linear No-Threshold model to prescribe radiation safety standards, ending the protracted controversy on the topic ...

Figure 1: The seesaw gate motif and the construction of linear threshold gates. For our initial experimental demonstration, we chose a general three-input four-output linear threshold gate (Fig. 1d).

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 ...

The most significant achievement was to extend the range of electrical trimming to include the depletion region, or the negative threshold region, and the refined precision control process used in ...

Will a gamma ray a day keep the doctor away? A new book says low-level radiation may prevent cancer ...

We derive an asset pricing equilibrium formula in which the risk premium on a risky asset is given by a weighted sum of the regular beta capital asset pricing model and a market portfolio downside ...
