1 page reprint with table, References and Notes. Edges worn. Stamp with ink notations. Name of Donald J. Kimeldorf stamped at top right corner. Both authors were associated with the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission. Science, also widely referred to as Science Magazine, is the peer-reviewed academic journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and one of the world's top academic journals. It was first published in 1880. William Curry Moloney, MD, who studied and treated blood diseases before hematology became a medical specialty, was a professor emeritus of medicine at Harvard Medical School and former director of hematology at Brigham and Women's Hospital. He was one of the first hematologists to use chemotherapy to treat leukemia and lymphoma. Dr. Moloney was also an early contributor to the development of specific diagnostic tests, some of which are still in use today. Dr. Moloney was a recognized authority on safe procedures for blood transfusions, and his expertise in blood banks stood him in good stead in World War II, when he oversaw transfusions to wounded soldiers. After the war, in the early 1950s, Dr. Moloney directed research for the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission in Hiroshima, Japan. Later, in the Marshall Islands, he studied the effects of errant radiation and the mechanisms that produce leukemia. Kastenbaum worked for 17 months as a statistician with the ABCC. This work established the statistical evidence that the incidence of leukemia is 'high' at distances close to the hypocenter,and normal at distances of 2500 m or more. During World War II, he served with the 124th Cavalry Regiment and later the 613th Field Artillery Battalion. Kastenbaum was stationed in Burma, and the units he was stationed with participated in the reopening the Burma Road, a vital supply route from Burma to China. After the war, Kastenbaum returned to his studies and graduated from the City College of New York with a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics in 1948. He received his Master's degree in statistics from North Carolina State College in 1950 and his Ph.D. from the same institution in 1956. In January 1953, during a hiatus from his studies, Kastenbaum took a post as statistician in the Biostatistics Department of the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission in Hiroshima, Japan. While with ABCC he had occasion to review much of the medical data which had been collected by the commission between 1947 and 1954. He and Dr. William C. Moloney wrote a study of A-bomb radiation on humans. Upon completion of the final report, Marvin A. Kastenbaum decided he would make a career of medical statistics. In September of 1954 he returned to Chapel Hill to complete the requirements for his doctorate in statistics at the University of North Carolina. While there Marvin A. Kastenbaum worked as a statistician for the University's Department of Public Health. Donald J. Kimeldorf was a renowned scientist. His book with Ed Hunt entitled "Ionizing radiation: Neural function and behavior" remain a classic work in the field. Single sheet (approximately 7.5 inches by 10.25 inches), printed on one side Reprinted from Science, February 25, 1955, Vol. 121, No 3139, pages 308-309 (blank).…
