Medicine for the Material World

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT It is clear that many of the inorganic materials of antiquity have been used both as medicines for human ills and also as agents in technological processes. This paper speculates that there might have been a stronger link between these two functions in the past, based on the concept of “active agents”—materials that are efficacious at curing ...

Existentialism and My ‘Postwolf’ Dachshund: Authenticity in the Age of Genetic Engineering

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human genetic engineering has the potential to profoundly alter the traits of future generations, raising critical ethical questions about authenticity and identity. Essentialist perspectives reject genetic engineering, claiming it inherently compromises authenticity by deviating from a species‐typical genome.

“Yet the Problem Remains”: Why Genetic Determinism Still Haunts Biomedical Research

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT After the horrors of the Holocaust and its connections to eugenics were revealed to the world, many post‐war population geneticists sought to establish rhetorical distance from the Nazi's state‐led campaigns, without abandoning their belief that actively shaping the population's genetics would produce a prosperous society.

The cost‐effectiveness of intraoperative margin assessment strategies during radical prostatectomy

BJU International, EarlyView.
Objective To determine whether current intraoperative margin assessment (IOMA) techniques (such as Neurovascular Structure Adjacent Frozen‐section Examination [NeuroSAFE] or confocal laser microscopy [CLM]) used during radical prostatectomy (RP) to enhance nerve‐sparing surgery (NSS) while reducing positive surgical margins (PSMs) justify their extra ...

A multilevel Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process with individual‐ and variable‐specific estimates as random effects

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the present study, we extend a stochastic differential equation (SDE) model, the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU) process, to the simultaneous analysis of time series of multiple variables by means of random effects for individuals and variables using a Bayesian framework.

Fused Collapsing for Wide BVH Construction

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We propose a novel approach for constructing wide bounding volume hierarchies on the GPU by integrating a simple bottom‐up collapsing procedure within an existing binary bottom‐up BVH builder. Our approach directly constructs a wide BVH without traversing a temporary binary BVH as done by previous approaches and achieves 1.4 – 1.6 × lower ...
