Charm and bottom quark masses from QCD moment sum rules
2002
In this work the charm and bottom quark masses are determined from QCD moment sum rules for the charmonium and upsilon systems. In our analysis we include both the results from non-relativistic QCD and perturbation theory at next-next-to-leading order. For the pole masses we obtain $M_c=1.75\pm 0.15$ GeV and $M_b=4.98\pm 0.125$ GeV. Using the potential-subtracted mass in intermediate steps of the calculation the MS-masses are determined to $m_c(m_c) = 1.19 \pm 0.11$ GeV and $m_b(m_b) = 4.24 \pm 0.10$ GeV.
Integration of a radiation biomarker into modeling of thyroid carcinogenesis and post-Chernobyl risk assessment
2016
Strong evidence for the statistical association between radiation exposure and disease has been produced for thyroid cancer by epidemiological studies after the Chernobyl accident. However, limitations of the epidemiological approach in order to explore health risks especially at low doses of radiation appear obvious. Statistical fluctuations due to small case numbers dominate the uncertainty of risk estimates. Molecular radiation markers have been searched extensively to separate radiation-induced cancer cases from sporadic cases. The overexpression of the CLIP2 gene is the most promising of these markers. It was found in the majority of papillary thyroid cancers (PTCs) from young patients…
