UNLABELLED Dosimetric calculations are performed with an increasing frequency before or after treatment in targeted radionuclide therapy, as well as for radiation protection purposes in diagnostic nuclear medicine. According to the MIRD committee formalism, the mean absorbed dose to a target is given by the product of the cumulated activity and a dose-conversion factor, known as the S factor. S...

The contribution deals with a stochastic process which cumulates random increments at random moments, the cumulative process. A multiplicative model of rate of cumulation, with regression on covariate processes, is studied. We show the consistency of estimators and then the asymptotic normality of the process of residuals. An application dealing with the process of growing damage of a technical...

OBJECTIVE Physical performance measures can be used to predict functional decline and increased dependency in older persons. However, few studies have assessed the feasibility or reliability of such measures in hospitalized older patients. Here we assessed the feasibility and inter-rater reliability of four simple measures of physical performance in acutely admitted older medical patients. DE...

The task of an airborne collision avoidance system is to continuously evaluate the risk of collision and in the case of too high risk initiate an evasive action. The traditional way to assess risk is to focus on a critical point of time. A recently proposed alternative is to evaluate the cumulated risk over time. It is the purpose of this contribution to evaluate the di erence between these two...

The radiative properties of any porous medium are statistically defined by a cumulated extinction distribution function, a cumulated absorption probability and a bidirectional phase function. These functions are obtained by a Monte Carlo technique, from both the medium morphology data, known or issued from a X or γ ray tomography, and the radiative properties at a scale lower than the tomograph...
