Nonlinearity of dose-response functions for carcinogenicity.
Carcinogenesis data for 315 chemicals were obtained from the National Cancer Institute-National Toxicology Program (NCI-NTP) bioassay programs and were analyzed to examine the shape of carcinogenesis dose-response curves. Tumor site data were more often consistent with a quadratic response than with a linear response, suggesting that the routine use of linear dose-response models will often ove...
متن کاملEstablishing a Reference Dose Response Relationship for Carcinogenicity of Five Cobalts Salts
At the 22 meeting of the Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC) in September 2012, the ECHA Secretariat presented a proposal to set DNELs and dose response relationships for substances prior to receiving applications for authorisation (AfAs). This was approved by RAC as a trial exercise. However, in early 2015, ECHA agreed to continue supporting the practice for Annex XIV substances, recognizing i...
متن کاملEvidence for formation of DNA repair centers and dose-response nonlinearity in human cells.
The concept of DNA "repair centers" and the meaning of radiation-induced foci (RIF) in human cells have remained controversial. RIFs are characterized by the local recruitment of DNA damage sensing proteins such as p53 binding protein (53BP1). Here, we provide strong evidence for the existence of repair centers. We used live imaging and mathematical fitting of RIF kinetics to show that RIF indu...
متن کاملAsymptotic Nonlinearity of Boolean Functions
Boolean functions on the space F2 are not only important in the theory of error-correcting codes, but also in cryptography. In these two cases, the nonlinearity of these functions is a main concept. Carlet, Olejár and Stanek gave an asymptotic lower bound for the nonlinearity of most of them, and I gave an asymptotic upper bound which was strictly larger. In this article, I improve the bounds a...
متن کاملNonlinearity Computation for Sparse Boolean Functions
An algorithm for computing the nonlinearity of a Boolean function from its algebraic normal form (ANF) is proposed. By generalizing the expression of the weight of a Boolean function in terms of its ANF coefficients, a formulation of the distances to linear functions is obtained. The special structure of these distances can be exploited to reduce the task of nonlinearity computation to solving ...
