Paper STATISTICAL CRITERIA TO ESTABLISH BIOASSAY PROGRAMS
نویسندگان
چکیده
A statistical study of fitting log-normal distributions to air sampling concentrations and random intakes is reported in this paper. An improved method on the approximation of a sum of log-normal distributions to a log-normal distribution is used to forecast bioassay results and their uncertainties. These methods can be used in the design and implementation of air control monitoring and bioassay programs for introducing statistical criteria to determine when a bioassay is required as well as the frequency.

Optimal design and mathematical model applied to establish bioassay programs.
Bioassays can be used to estimate the initial intake I for the case of an acute intake exposure for an individual worker. To evaluate the effective dose, apart from I, we need to know other parameters such as activity median aerodynamic diameter (AMAD) or the fraction absorption ( f(1)) in the blood from the GI tract, but in an accident situation these parameters are often unknown. The bioassay...
متن کاملThe Use of Random-Model Tolerance Intervals in Environmental Monitoring and Regulation
When appropriate data from regional reference locations are available, toleranceinterval bounds can be computed to provide criteria or limits distinguishing reference from noweference conditions. If the limits are to be to applied to locations and times beyond the orininal data, the data should include temporal and spatial variation and the tolerance inrervai calculations should utilize a rando...
متن کاملAssessment of Green Supplier Development Programs by a New Group Decision-Making Model Considering Possibilistic Statistical Uncertainty
The assessment and selection of green supplier development programs are an intriguing and functional research subject. This paper proposes a group decision-making approach considering possibilistic statistical concepts under uncertainty to assess green supplier development programs (GSDPs) via interval-valued fuzzy sets (IVFSs). Possibility theory is employed to regard uncertainty by IVFSs. A n...
متن کاملCanada’s National Calibration Reference Centre for Bioassay - Present Programs and Future Directions
In 1983, the Radiation Protection Bureau of the federal Department of Health was formally recognized by the Canadian nuclear industry regulator, the Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB) as the National Calibration Reference Centre (NCRC, the Centre) for Bioassay and In Vivo Measurements. The Centre’s mandate was to provide practical reference standards to the AECB’s licensees for measurements the...
متن کاملUsing Interpretive Structural Modeling to Determine the Relationships among Knowledge Management Criteria inside Malaysian Organizations
This paper is concerned with the establishment of relationships among knowledge management (KM) criteria that will ensure an essential foundation to evaluate KM outcomes. The major issue under investigation is to assess the popularity of criteria within organizations and to establish a structure of criteria for measuring KM results. An empirical survey was conducted among Malaysian organization...
