What's the difference between a threshold dose response model, and a no-threshold model? And what are the limitations of each? This week Risk Bites tackles the basics of dose-response models. This week's Risk Bites team: David Faulkner (Animation concepts, editing, closed captions) Andrew Maynard
What's is dose response, and what's it got to do with hazard and health risk? This is the first of a series of Risk Bites videos on understanding what dose response is, and why it's useful! This is part of a series of Risk Bites videos that tackle dose response and response models. This week's Ri
How much is too much when it comes to being exposed to something unpleasant? Using examples of fecal contamination on cellphones and cocaine on bank notes, Risk Bites begins to lay the ground for exploring dose-response. More information on the UK cellphone contamination study: http://www.eurekale
What is responsible innovation, and why is it important? Risk Bites takes a quick dive into why socially responsible innovation and ethical entrepreneurship matter, and what you can do to ensure good intentions really do end up making people’s lives better. Of course, we can hardly do the topic ju
We think in terms of generations instead of quarters, and we conduct our operations in a responsible manner. This ethos is what underpins our sustainable business success. We believe it's important to take an active role in shaping the future. Our products and technologies are key to achieving this
In the series "Explain your Research" we introduce you to researchers from the BfS and their research areas: Max has worked on the development of a methodology that determines the dose efficiency of CT devices. High dose efficiency = the lowest possible dose for the patient. #strahlenschutz #strahl
Twin dosing is the name of the innovative process which Volkswagen is now using to minimise the nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas from diesel engines. The new generation of diesel engines reduces NOX values by some 80%. Click here to see more videos: https://bit.ly/3cFb0gJ --- Further informatio
In the series "Explain your Research" we introduce you to researchers from the BfS and their research areas. Patrizia is the first to do so: she uses so-called anthropomorphic phantoms to determine what radiation dose patients could receive with certain new X-ray and CT technologies. Original: "Fed
In the so-called cytokine storm, larger and larger amounts of cytokines are released uncontrollably. They then also "mark" healthy cells and cause the immune cells to attack the body's own tissue. Authors: 3Sat/Nano/docuVista Filmproduktion/Marilena Schulte, Maike Wurtscheid/Jörg Becker, Sergios Ro
How do you make sense of scientific models without falling into common traps? Here are three rules of thumb. This is part of a series of Risk Bites videos that tackle dose response and response models. This week's Risk Bites team: David Faulkner (post-production) Andrew Maynard (all the other stu
