The aim of the study was to determine the length of time of survival, and which factors affected the length of the prehospital phase/treatment-free period for persons who died as a result of a traffic accident in the County of Southern Jutland during the period from 1 January 1986 to 31 December 1991. The study was conducted as a ...

Molecularly cloned hematopoietic growth factors are likely to be useful in treating radiation victims with bone marrow suppression. Some effects, such as increased granulocytes, are clearly beneficial. Other effects, such as altering the probability of survival of hematopoietic stem cells, may also be important. Interesting questions remain to be studied including which ...

A numerical method is presented for solving the time-dependent survival probability equation in general (lD/2D/3D) geometries using the multi group SNmethod. Although this equation was first formulated by Bell in the early 1960's, it has only been applied to stationary systems (for other than idealized point models) until recently, and detailed ...
