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 ...

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 ...

Concise asymptotic theory is developed for non-linear wavelet estimators of regression means, in the context of general error distributions, general designs, general ...

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 ...

A toxicologist describes how regulators came to adopt the linear no threshold (LNT) dose-response approach to ionizing radiation exposure in the 1950s, which was later generalized to chemical ...
