title: Application of mathematical calibrations in measurements of gamma emitting radionuclides in honey samples and borosilicate filters.
abstract: Mathematical efficiency calibrations for the specific matrices such as honey and borosilicate filters are performed. Their reliability is experimentally tested. The influence of the choice of the matrix composition in the mathematical calibration on the results is investigated. After the verification of the mathematical models, the results for activity concentrations in the test samples are presented.
