A link between solar events and congenital malformations: Is ionizing radiation enough to explain it? [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics 120.3, 1537-1542
(2015), 2015 Cosmic rays are known to cause biological effects directly and through ionizing radiation produced by their secondaries. These effects have been detected in airline crews and other specific cases where members of the population are exposed to above average secondary fluxes.

A discrete event system specification (DEVS)-based model of consanguinity [PDF]
Journal of theoretical biology, 285(1), 103-112 (2011), 2017 Consanguinity or inter-cousin marriage is a phenomenon quite prevalent in certain regions around the globe. Consanguineous parents have a higher risk of having offspring with congenital disorders. It is difficult to model large scale consanguineous parental populations because of disparate cultural issues unique to regions and cultures across the globe.
