Risk Agoras: Dialectical Argumentation for Scientific Reasoning [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 We propose a formal framework for intelligent systems which can reason about scientific domains, in particular about the carcinogenicity of chemicals, and we study its properties. Our framework is grounded in a philosophy of scientific enquiry and discourse, and uses a model of dialectical argumentation.

Is There a Role for Qualitative Risk Assessment? [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Classically, risk is characterized by a point value probability indicating the likelihood of occurrence of an adverse effect. However, there are domains where the attainability of objective numerical risk characterizations is increasingly being questioned.

Alarming Oxygen Depletion Caused by Hydrogen Combustion and Fuel Cells and their Resolution by Magnegas$^{TM}$ [PDF]
arXiv, 2000 We recall that hydrogen combustion does resolve the environmental problems of fossil fuels due to excessive emission of carcinogenic substances and carbon dioxide. However, hydrogen combustion implies the permanent removal from our atmosphere of directly usable oxygen, a serious environmental problem called oxygen depletion, since the combustion turns ...

Homogenization Model for Aberrant Crypt Foci [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Several explanations can be found in the literature about the origin of colorectal cancer. There is however some agreement on the fact that the carcinogenic process is a result of several genetic mutations of normal cells. The colon epithelium is characterized by millions of invaginations, very small cavities, called crypts, where most of the cellular ...

The Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2023 Carcinogen exposure is strongly associated with enhanced cancer immunogenicity. Increased tumor mutational burden and resulting neoantigen generation have been proposed to link carcinogen exposure and cancer immunogenicity.

Assessment of Pollutant Spread from a Building Basement with three Ventilation Systems [PDF]
EuroAcademy on Ventilation and Indoor Climate - CLIMACADEMY Course
7: Experimental Assessment of Indoor Environment Parameters, Pamporovo :
Bulgaria (2009), 2010 Ventilation aims at providing a sufficient air renewal for ensuring a good indoor air quality (IAQ), yet building energy policies are leading to adapting various ventilation strategies minimising energy losses through air renewal. A recent IAQ evaluation campaign in French dwellings shows important pollution of living spaces by VOCs such as ...

Dynamic DNA Processing: A Microcode Model of Cell Differentiation [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 A general theoretical framework is put forth to organize and understand various observed phenomena and mathematical relationships in the field of molecular biology. By modeling each cell in eukaryotic organisms as a processor having a unique set of allowed states, represented by a specific DNA sequence, we demonstrate a method by which gene expression ...

Misleading nomenclature in the IARC Monographs Programme: a straightforward solution to improve accuracy and clarity [PDF]
Exploration of MedicineThe International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs Programme plays an important role in cancer prevention by identifying potential carcinogenic hazards. However, the terminology used in IARC’s classifications and Monographs can confuse the
