Suicidology and the right to die [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Journal ArticleAs suicidology reflects on the issue of the right to die, it can make no bigger mistake than by seeing suicide and suicidal behavior in short-sighted isolation, without reference to the cultural context within which it occurs. Two kinds of

Just another method for generating series of even powers of number Pi [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
In our previous publication we have shown a method for calculating series of even powers of $\pi$ based on the product representation of the $sinc$ function. We refer the readers to [1] for more details. In this work we apply the method to the product representation of the $cosine$ function and and thereby derive nice series formulas for even powers of

Thera als Angelpunkt der aegyptischen und isrealitischen Chronologien [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2009
The Exodus was causally connected to the eruption of Thera. The time of this geological event is determined by C14 dating as 1627-1600 BC. The chaos that followed this catastrophe led to upheavals which distorted the chronologies. Taking periods of foreign domination into account leads to an agreement between the chronologies of Egypt and Israel. ----

Clinical applications of next‐generation sequencing‐based ctDNA analyses in breast cancer: defining treatment targets and dynamic changes during disease progression

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a possibility for different applications in early and late stage breast cancer management. In early breast cancer tumor informed approaches are increasingly used for detecting molecular residual disease (MRD) and early recurrence. In advanced stage, ctDNA provides a possibility for monitoring disease progression and

A licitude civil da prática da ortotanásia por médico em respeito à vontade livre do paciente

open access: yesRevista Bioética
Por meio de interpretação constitucional baseada no princípio fundamental da dignidade da pessoa humana e no direito à vida, entende-se que a Constituição Federal protege o direito à morte digna, enquanto inexiste norma federal que disponha sobre o tema.

Saving fractional bits: A practical entropy efficient code for fair die rolls [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
We give an implementation of an algorithm that uses fair coin flips to simulate fair rolls of an $n$-sided die. A register plays the role of an entropy pool and holds entropy that is generated as a by-product during each die roll and that is usually discarded. The entropy stored in this register is completely reused during the next rolls. Consequently,

Circulating tumor cells in metastatic breast cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors – a biomarker analysis of the ALICE and ICON trials

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In this explorative biomarker analysis, we assessed serial sampling of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) with CellSearch in two randomized trials testing immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in metastatic breast cancer. Our data demonstrate a prognostic potential of CTCs, most apparent 4 weeks into ICI therapy.

Dysthanasia: Between the Life Extension And the Right to Die With Dignity

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Direitos e Garantias Fundamentais, 2016
During the XX century, arise new techniques and drugs that can prolong life. However, an unreasonable extension of the vital process of human being that does not have dignified conditions of living it could result in a slow and painful death. Dysthanasia
