Multiple positive fixed points of nonlinear operators on ordered Banach spaces
Richard W. Leggett,L.R. Williams +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of multiple positive fixed points of completely continuous nonlinear operators defined on the cone of an ordered Banach space is considered and the main results give sufficient conditions for such an operator to have two, and in some cases three fixed points.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reference values for resting blood flow to organs of man.
L.R. Williams,Richard W. Leggett +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed and analyzed data on blood flow and identified representative percentages of cardiac output and absolute blood flow rates to organs and tissues of man for use as reference values for biokinetic models.
Journal ArticleDOI
An age-specific kinetic model of lead metabolism in humans.
TL;DR: A new age-specific biokinetic model for lead originally developed for the ICRP but expanded to include additional features that are useful for consideration of lead as a chemical toxin is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The behavior and chemical toxicity of U in the kidney: a reassessment
TL;DR: Much more experimental research and reevaluation of existing data are needed concerning U nephrotoxicity, particularly for the case of chronic exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mayak Worker Study: An Improved Biokinetic Model for Reconstructing Doses from Internally Deposited Plutonium
Richard W. Leggett,Keith F. Eckerman,V. F. Khokhryakov,K. G. Suslova,M. P. Krahenbuhl,Scott C. Miller +5 more
TL;DR: The systemic biokinetic model for plutonium currently recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has been modified to reflect recently developed data and facilitate interpretation of case-specific information.
