Why Death Is Most in One's Self‐Interest, and Necessarily So
Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Most of us think that death is usually not in the self‐interest of the one who dies. Let us momentarily put this belief aside and examine death in a new light. This paper presents a two‐step argument to show why death is most in one's self‐interest, necessarily.

p51/p63 inhibits ultraviolet B-induced apoptosis via Akt activation [PDF]
Oncogene, 2007 The epidermis must be protected against excess apoptotic cell death in response to ultraviolet-B (UV-B) irradiation. p53 is known to be critical for this protection. Although the p53 family member DeltaNp51B/DeltaNp63alpha (an N terminal-deleted form of p51/p63) is abundantly expressed in keratinocytes, its contribution to UV-B-dependent apoptosis is ...

Homo luzonensis and the role of homoplasy in the morphology of hominin insular species
Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract Homo luzonensis lived during the upper Pleistocene in the northern Philippines, east of the Wallace line. The few specimens attributed to this species show a mosaic of plesiomorphies for the genus Homo and apomorphies found in upper Pleistocene Homo species.

How to Demonstrate Trustworthy Use of AI in Public Services: A Case Study
Information Systems Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Government leaders across the globe are grappling with how to harness and integrate artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance public service delivery and efficiency. Yet, a key challenge faced is how to build and maintain the trust of stakeholders. Trust is critical for the acceptance and sustained adoption of AI technologies, as well as to gain

Long lifetimes of ultra-hot particles in interacting Fermi systems
, 2018 The energy dependence of the relaxation rate of hot electrons due to interaction with the Fermi sea is studied. We consider 2D and 3D systems, quasi-1D quantum wires with multiple transverse bands, as well as single-channel 1D wires.

Modulation of apoprotein E secretion in response to receptor-mediated endocytosis in resident and inflammatory macrophages. [PDF]
, 1984 We have determined the effect of various endocytic ligands on the secretion of ApoE by macrophages. ApoE was a major secreted protein of resident macrophages, but BCG-activated macrophages secreted little ApoE and periodate-elicited macrophages secreted ...

Gestational kynurenine metabolites mediate effects of pregnancy adiposity on child negative affect
Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.Background Mounting evidence links increased adiposity during pregnancy and offspring risk for mental health disorders. Yet the mechanisms underlying this association remain poorly understood, limiting our ability to design effective interventions.

The effect of maternal nutrition during mid- to late- pregnancy on ewe and lamb behaviour and the association with lamb survival : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2015 Lambing percentage in New Zealand has increased by almost 30% in the last 20 years. This increase is associated with a greater percentage of twin- and triplet-born lambs which have lower survival rates than singletons.

Genotyping and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Escherichia coli O157 originating from cattle farms [PDF]
, 2011 During a Escherichia coli O157 prevalence study on cattle farms, 324 E. coli O157 isolates were collected from 68 out of 180 cattle farms. All isolates harbored the eaeA gene and the enterohemolysin (ehxA) gene. The majority of the strains only contained
