background: occupational and environmental exposures mostly represent mixtures of genotoxic agents, whereas the specificity of biomarker measurements varies widely. exploration of correlations among biomarkers contributes to the further progress of molecular cancer epidemiology and to the selection of the optimal biomarkers for the investigation of human exposure to carcinogens. the aim of this...

We assume that at the continuum scales of interest here, the mass density ⇢ as well as the the momentum per unit volume ⇢u can be interpreted as well-defined averages of microscopic masses and momenta. That is, they are averages over minute spatial regions and time intervals, which can nevertheless be chosen large enough that there are negligible statistical fluctuations about those averages at...
