VSED Should Not Be a Pathway to MAiD (Though Both Are Ethically Permissible)
ABSTRACT Recent changes in aid in dying laws have led some to argue for a pathway from Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED) to Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD). Proponents point to the Sontag case as demonstrating the efficacy of the practice. This article first provides an overview of the development of the practice of VSED and MAiD and provides

Abstract The detection of the number of modes in distributions of ordinal data is relevant for applied researchers across disciplines, from uncovering polarization to detecting incidence groups in clinical symptom scales. Yet, established modality detection methods are either purely descriptive or not developed for ordinal data.

Targeting KRAS for cancer therapy
In recent years, therapeutics targeted against KRAS proto‐oncogene GTPase (KRAS)‐mutant cancers have seen significant progress. Herein we outline the biology and epidemiology of KRAS alterations at the lineage and allele levels, reviewing the clinical evidence for KRASG12C inhibition from the discovery of the recessive switch pocket to sotorasib ...

Non‐Rigid 3D Shape Correspondences: From Foundations to Open Challenges and Opportunities
Abstract Estimating correspondences between deformed shape instances is a long‐standing problem in computer graphics; numerous applications, from texture transfer to statistical modelling, rely on recovering an accurate correspondence map. Many methods have thus been proposed to tackle this challenging problem from varying perspectives, depending on ...
