Low dose ionizing radiation effects on the immune system
Environment International, 2021 Ionizing radiation interacts with the immune system in many ways with a multiplicity that mirrors the complexity of the immune system itself: namely the need to maintain a delicate balance between different compartments, cells and soluble factors that ...

The variance-covariance method: Microdosimetry in time-varying low dose-rate radiation fields [PDF]
, 1988 The variance-covariance method is employed at low doses and in radiation fields of low dose rates from an241Am (4 nGy/s) and a90Sr (300 nGy/s) source. The preliminary applications and results illustrate some of the potential of the method, and show that ...
