Biological dosimetry based on chromosome aberration scoring in peripheral blood lymphocytes enables timely assessment of the ionizing radiation dose absorbed by an individual. Here, new Bayesian-type count data inverse regression methods are introduced for situations where responses are Poisson or two-parameter compound Poisson distributed. Our Poisson models are calculated in a closed form, by...

Spores from Bacillus horneckiae SBP3 (SBP3) of shallow hydrothermal vent origin have recently been reported to survive extreme conditions more often than their close phylogenetic relatives B. DSM 23495T (BHO) and subtilis 168 (BSU) used in biodosimetry the space microbiology model. To investigate structures unheated spores, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was used. The F...
