Very roughly speaking, the critical kicks strategy will yield approximately G / γ c spikes while the other strategies will induce about G / δ ∞ ( v ) spikes for some v, at least if δ n ( v ) converges to δ ∞ ( v ) quickly.
Based on these values, the irradiation with 1 kGy should induce about 1 2 SSBs in a 50 nucleotide-long DNA fragment in aqueous solution.
At the 0. 1 survival level X-rays induce about 10 times more breaks per chromosome than the photodynamic treatment.
However, as noted in the bibliography [ 25], only 1 °C change in temperature could induce about 500 mg/dL errors in the prediction of the glucose concentration.
In preliminary dose-response experiments, the above concentration was found to induce about half of the maximum effect on [Ca2+]cyt increase (data not shown).
Assuming a linear relationship between the number of DSBs and the total dose, a radiation dose of 10 cGy will induce about two DSBs per cell (Hall 2000), which is likely below the limits of detection.
