  • Incorporation of Current ICRP Recommendations in the GENMOD Internal Dosimetry Code
    Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 1998
    Co-Authors: Richard B. Richardson, D.w. Dunford
    Abstract:

    Genmod was initially developed by Johnson and Dunford to perform internal dose assessments and evaluate bioassay data using the methods described by the ICRP in Publications 26 and 30. The mainframe code, Genmod-MF was modified to implement the ICRP's new lung model, new weighting factors and new values for specific effective energy (SEE) available from M. Cristy and K. F. Eckerman, Oak Ridge Laboratories. Organ equivalent doses and effective dose for selected radionuclides employing the ICRP 30 general organ model have been verified, for ingestion and inhalation cases, against current ICRP publications, the internal dosimetry code LUDEP and mainframe codes. The PC version of Genmod has been rewritten to operate under the MS-Windows95 system. A demonstration package has been developed that calculates doses and provides graphics for radionuclides where the ICRP's general organ model is appropriate. Data will be presented showing the differences and similarities in dose conversion factors using the ICRP 26/30 methodology and recommendations in ICRP Publication 60 onwards.

  • DNA Repair: A changing geography? (1964–2008)
    DNA Repair, 2013
    Co-Authors: Marion Maisonobe, Giuseppina Giglia-mari, Denis Eckert
    Abstract:

    Abstract This article aims to explain the current state of DNA Repair studies’ global geography by focusing on the genesis of the community. Bibliometric data is used to localize scientific activities related to DNA Repair at the city level. The keyword “DNA Repair” was introduced first by American scientists. It started to spread after 1964 that is to say, after P. Howard-Flanders (Yale University), P. Hanawalt (Stanford University) and R. Setlow (Oak Ridge Laboratories) found evidence for Excision Repair mechanisms. It was the first stage in the emergence of an autonomous scientific community. In this article, we will try to assess to what extent the geo-history of this scientific field is determinant in understanding its current geography. In order to do so, we will localize the places where the first “DNA Repair” publications were signed fifty years ago and the following spatial diffusion process, which led to the current geography of the field. Then, we will focus on the evolution of the research activity of “early entrants” in relation to the activity of “latecomers”. This article is an opportunity to share with DNA Repair scientists some research results of a dynamic field in Science studies: spatial scientometrics.
