The U.S. Million Person Study of Low-Dose-Rate Health Effects
There is a critical knowledge gap regarding the health consequences of exposure to radiation received gradually over time. While there is a plethora of studies on the risks of adverse outcomes from both acute and high-dose exposures, including the landmark study of atomic bomb survivors, these are not characteristic of the chronic exposure to low-dose radiation encountered in occupational and public settings. In addition, smaller cohorts have limited numbers leading to reduced statistical power.

Electromagnetic field modeling in ICRF on the basis of standard mesh methods is complicated by different space scales of slow and fast waves. For this reason, a new method based on the approximation of solution by polynomial-exponential basic functions is proposed for advanced modeling of rapidly oscillating solutions. The method has been studied for the Helmholtz equation in comparison with standard mesh methods. The new method provides the same accuracy on a substantially rarer mesh. This advantage is more pronounced, if the solution varies very rapidly. The formalism of employment of the first-order local solution method for the boundary problem for Maxwell's equations in a slab geometry is presented. The problem of elimination of possible degeneration of the local solutions is discussed.
