HPA Centre for Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards, Chilton, Didcot, OX11 0RQ, UK
Radiat Prot Dosimetry 132:1-12. 2008..Current applications of the methodology, including the determination of lung solubility parameters, from volunteer and cohort data, are also discussed... - The autocorrelation coefficient as a tool for assessing goodness of fit between bioassay predictions and measurement dataM Puncher
Radiation Protection Division, HPA Centre for Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 0RQ, UK
Radiat Prot Dosimetry 127:370-3. 2007..In this paper, another statistic, the autocorrelation coefficient of the residuals, rho, is investigated. The main advantages of the rho statistic are that it is objective, very sensitive to biasing and independent of the assumed errors... - Uncertainty analysis of doses from inhalation of depleted uraniumM Puncher
Radiation Protection Division, Health Protection Agency Centre for Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards, Chilton, Didcot, OX11 0RQ, United Kingdom
Health Phys 95:300-9. 2008..1 microSv at 10 d to about 1 mSv at 10(4) d. Despite the large uncertainties, the upper q0.975 quantile for the assessed dose was below 1 mSv up to 5,000 d... - IMBA Professional Plus: a flexible approach to internal dosimetryA Birchall
Radiation Protection Division, Health Protection Agency, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 0RQ, UK
Radiat Prot Dosimetry 125:194-7. 2007..The aim of this paper is to describe the capabilities of IMBA Professional Plus, and the mathematical methods used... - Internal dose assessments: uncertainty studies and update of ideas guidelines and databases within CONRAD projectJ W Marsh
Health Protection Agency, Radiation Protection Division, Chilton, Didcot, UK
Radiat Prot Dosimetry 131:34-9. 2008.... - Obtaining an unbiased estimate of intake in routine monitoring when the time of intake is unknownM Puncher
Health Protection Agency, Centre for Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards, Radiation Protection Division, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 0RQ, UK
Radiat Prot Dosimetry 118:280-9. 2006..The Monte Carlo conclusions are backed up by a theoretical analysis of bias. Finally, the source of bias in the apparently intuitive approach of the USDOE method is revealed by viewing the problem from a Bayesian perspective... - Uncertainties in doses from intakes of radionuclides assessed from monitoring measurementsG Etherington
Health Protection Agency, Centre for Radiation Chemical and Environmental Hazards, Radiation Protection Division, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 0RQ, UK
Radiat Prot Dosimetry 121:40-51. 2006..Both use a Monte Carlo simulation approach. Results are described for three illustrative examples. An alternative method developed at the Los Alamos National Laboratory that uses Bayesian statistical methods is also described briefly... - Plutonium worker dosimetryAlan Birchall
Health Protection Agency, CRCE, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon, OX11 0RQ, UK
Radiat Environ Biophys 49:203-12. 2010.... - Avoiding biased estimates of dose when nothing is known about the time of intakeA Birchall
Radiation Protection Division, HPA Centre for Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 0RQ, UK
Radiat Prot Dosimetry 127:343-6. 2007..In this paper, the effects of assuming either normally or log-normally distributed measurement errors are explored, and the effect on the bias of the intake estimate is investigated... - Estimating uncertainty on internal dose assessmentsM Puncher
Radiation Protection Division, HPA Centre for Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 0RQ, UK
Radiat Prot Dosimetry 127:544-7. 2007..A description of the methodology, together with an example application of the software, is included in this paper... - Evaluation of scattering factor values for internal dose assessment following the IDEAS guidelines: preliminary resultsJ W Marsh

Radiat Prot Dosimetry 127:339-42. 2007..In this paper, SF values have been calculated for different radionuclides and types of monitoring data using real data contained in the IDEAS Internal Contamination Database. Results are presented... - IMBA Expert: internal dosimetry made simpleA Birchall
National Radiological Protection Board, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 0RQ, UK
Radiat Prot Dosimetry 105:421-5. 2003.... - Coordination of research on internal dosimetry in Europe: the CONRAD projectM A Lopez
CIEMAT, Avda Complutense 22, 28040 Madrid, Spain
Radiat Prot Dosimetry 127:311-6. 2007..Preliminary results associated with CONRAD WP5 tasks are presented here... - IDEAS internal contamination database: a compilation of published internal contamination cases. A tool for the internal dosimetry communityC Hurtgen
Belgian Nuclear Research Centre, Mol, Belgium
Radiat Prot Dosimetry 125:520-2. 2007..The database is by no means complete, and this presentation is also an appeal for internal contamination cases to extend and update it...
