The biological dose of nuclear workers engaged in emergency response tasks at Tokyo
Electric Power Company (TEPCO) Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station was estimated …

Purpose Rapid and reliable methods for conducting biological dosimetry are a necessity in
the event of a large-scale nuclear event. Conventional biodosimetry methods lack the …

After large-scale radiation accidents where many individuals are suspected to be exposed to
ionizing radiation, biological and physical retrospective dosimetry assays are important tools …

Purpose: The fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) technique, which easily detects
reciprocal translocations, is currently used to estimate doses in retrospective biological …

Peripheral blood cell counts are important biomarkers of radiation exposure. In this work, a
simplified compartmental modeling approach is applied to simulate the perturbation of the …

Treatment of accidental radiation-induced myelosuppression is primarily based on
supportive care and requires specific treatment based on hematopoietic growth factors …

Five occupational workers in an industrial sterilization unit at Stamboliyski in Bulgaria were
accidentally exposed to a very high specific activity of Cobalt-60 source on June 14, 2011 …

New characterizations of the Poisson distribution based on an identity involving the Binomial
thinning operator are presented. These characterizations allow the construction of statistics …
