Population Ethics and the Value of Life [PDF]
Public policies often involve choices of alternatives in which the size and the composition of the population may vary. Examples are the allocation of resources to prenatal care and the design of aid packages to developing countries.

A meta-analysis of wage-risk estimates of the value of a statistical life [PDF]
, 1999 This paper presents the results of a meta-analysis of estimates of the value of statistical life (VOSL). Data on the sample characteristics, data sources and analytical approach used to derive some 60 separate estimates in 17 published papers are used in

The half-life of $^{221}$Fr in Si and Au at 4K and at mK temperatures
, 2010 The half-life of the $\alpha$ decaying nucleus $^{221}$Fr was determined in different environments, i.e. embedded in Si at 4 K, and embedded in Au at 4 K and about 20 mK. No differences in half-life for these different conditions were observed within 0.1%

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Age Variations in Workers' Value of Statistical Life [PDF]
This paper develops a life-cycle model in which workers choose both consumption levels and job fatality risks, implying that the effect of age on the value of life is ambiguous.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Changes in the Value of Life: 1940-1980 [PDF]
We present the first nation wide value of life estimates for the United States at more than one point in time. Our estimates are for every ten years between 1940 and 1980, a period when declines in fatal accident rates were historically unprecedented ...

Organoids in pediatric cancer research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.
