A generalization of the well known critical volume NTCP model is proposed to take into account dependence of the functional subunits of irradiated organ (or tissue). A new statistical version of the CLT is established to analyze the corresponding random fields. AMS classification: 60F05, 62E20, 62G15, 62P10.

A double-mirror multilayer monochromator was developed for the purpose of irradiating live cell cultures at the Synchrotron Radiation Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison. The monochromator is designed for the soft x-ray region with photon energies between 270 and 2400 eV. Multilayer mirrors with 55 bilayers of W/C and a bilayer spacing of d = 3.0 nm are sputter deposited on Si substrates. B...

The relation between the site of energy deposition and the site of its biological action is an important question in radiobiology. Even at 77 degrees K, evidence is clear that these two sites must be separated since energy deposition is random but specific products are formed. Several processes that may contribute to this separation are: 1) hole migration and stabilization through deprotonat...

OBJECTIVES Radiation emitted by the radionuclides in radioimmunotherapy (RIT) approaches induce direct killing of the targeted cells as well as indirect killing through the bystander effect. Our research group is dedicated to the development of α-RIT, i.e., RIT using α-particles especially for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). γ-irradiation and β-irradiation have been shown to trigger apo...

The views of researchers and physicians on the aftereffects of the Chernobyl accident are contradictory. Numerous publications indicate disorders in immunity and health in the residents of the radiocontaminated areas. However, a number of leading specialists in radiation medicine and radiobiology point to the fact that at low level ionizing radiation to which is mostly exposed population in the...
