[Effects of nonuniform distribution of absorbed radiation energy among elements of a population]

The reaction of a particular element of the population, when this element has absorbed some portion of ionizing radiation energy, and the response of the whole population to a given radiation dose are discussed. Functions of the element reaction are supposed to be increasing or decreasing. The formulae have been obtained describing a correlation between the element reaction as a function of the radiation energy absorbed and the response of the whole population as a function of the radiation dose absorbed.
