Preface
The monograph presents the biologically motivated dynamic modeling approach to the study and prediction of radiation effects on mammals. This approach embodies the author’s mathematical models, which are capable of predicting the dynamics of vital body systems in mammals (namely, the hematopoietic system in rodents and humans, the immune system in rodents, the small intestine in rodents, and the skin in young swine) under normal conditions and under various irradiation regimes (acute/chronic/fractionated/non-uniform irradiation). The developed approach also includes the author’s mathematical models, which are capable of prognosticating the mortality dynamics and the average life-span shortening for homogeneous and nonhomogeneous (in radiosensitivity) mammalian populations exposed to acute and chronic irradiation in wide ranges of doses and dose rates on the basis of the statistical characteristics and the modeling dynamics of the respective critical body system (the hematopoietic system or the small intestine) in exposed specimens composing the population.
