Value judgements that matter to patients remain implicit in oncology guidelines: an observational study.

BACKGROUND Clinical practice guidelines are often evidence-based. However, it is inevitable that there are value judgements in the practical recommendations contained in the guidelines. In order to see if patients are ultimately being supplied with sufficient information to help them make treatment decision, we determined 1) which value judgements influence the process of developing guidelines ...

Radiation resistance: The fragments that remain

The complete genome sequence of the bacterium, Deinococcus radiodurans R1 has been released. This achievement will greatly aid efforts to study this organism, but analysis of the sequence reveals little that helps explain the extreme ionizing radiation resistance of this species.

A (fairly) Simple Circuit that (usually) Sorts

This paper provides an analysis of a natural k-round tournament over n = 2' players, and demonstrates that the tournament possesses a surprisingly strong ranking property. The ranking property of this tournament is exploited by using it as a building block for efficient parallel sorting algorithms under a variety of different models of computation. Three important applications are provided. Fir...
