organizations to identify practices that deliver radiation doses far above or below their peers. The …

The Chesapeake Bay is the largest, most productive, and most biologically diverse estuary
in the continental United States providing crucial habitat and natural resources for culturally …

Dibromochloropropane (DBCP)-induced sterility in male workers who applied the nematocide

Prenatal exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES), a synthetic estrogen, has been associated with
a low incidence of vaginal adenocarcinoma as well as a variety of more numerous benign …

The current paradigm for characterizing radiation dose in computed tomography (CT) is based
on a metric—the computed tomography dose index (CTDI)—introduced nearly thirty years …

We report on a study of the inclusive production properties of DD mesons in pp collisions at
800 GeV/c and compare our results to measurements made at lower energies and to the …

We measure forward cross sections for production of D+, D 0, D s, D*+, and Λ c in collisions
of π±, K±, and p on a nuclear target. Production induced by different beam particles is found …

In view of recent reports of adverse effects of environmental boron on testicular function, we
have studied some biochemical, morphological, and physiologic aspects of gonadal function …
