(2007-04-27)It is important for people to live comfortably and independently in their homes. Homes can be adapted to aid people with various disabilities. This publication explains how to make such adaptations for people with vision ... -
Aging effects of environmental factors on rolled erosion control products
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)This thesis presents a study made on erosion control blankets with respect to their aging and longevity. Erosion control blankets have been relied upon increasingly in recent times replacing the old and traditional methods ... -
An alternative to disengagement theory : its value in explaining the Texas winter visitor phenomenon
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)This exploratory study had the following objectives (1) to assess the utility of Hochschild's alternative (neo) theory for explaining the aging process among a sub-population of aging adults specifically, winter visitors ... -
Assistive Devices for the Home
(2002-01-31)Many simple, inexpensive devices can make daily activities easier and safer for the elderly and those who have physical disablities. This publication suggests products for living and sleeping areas, kitchens and bathrooms. ... -
Brothers, Sisters and Aging Parents
(1999-09-02)Adult children play a crucial role in helping aging parents. When relationships with siblings are poor, everyone suffers. Brothers and sisters can build strong relationships and unite in caring for elderly parents when ... -
Building Positive Relationships
(2001-02-20)Declining health and the increased need of care and support for aging parents may strain even the best relationships. This publication discusses ways that adult children can analyze and improve their relationships with ... -
Characterization of Aging and Foaming Properties for Asphalt Mixtures
(2015-10-12)Economic, environmental, and engineering benefits have motivated the implementation of warm mix asphalt (WMA) in the United States. While asphalt foaming has become the most popular method for producing WMA, concerns remain ... -
Comparison of fatigue analysis approaches for predicting fatigue lives of hot-mix asphalt concrete (HMAC) mixtures
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Hot-mix asphalt concrete (HMAC) mixture fatigue characterization constitutes a fundamental component of HMAC pavement structural design and analysis to ensure adequate field fatigue performance. HMAC is a heterogeneous ... -
Coping with Caregiving
(2006-12-12)People who care for elderly relatives often ignore their own needs. This publication offers guidance to help caregivers maintain their own personal well-being while caring for an elderly relative. Topics include stress ... -
Designing Homes for Function and Safety
(2002-01-31)The principle of universal design is that homes should be as usable as possible by people of all ages and physical ablities. This might be accomplished by widening doors, making floor levels flush, placing electrical outlets ... -
Effects of aging and exercise training on structural and vasoconstrictor properties of skeletal muscle arterioles
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Aging is associated with increases in regional and systemic vascular resistance and arterial blood pressure. One possible mechanism through which these age-associated alterations occur is enhanced vasoconstrictor responsiveness, ... -
Effects of aging and exercise training on the mechanisms of Angiotensin II-induced vasoconstriction in rat skeletal muscle arterioles
(2009-05-15)Aging is associated with increases in regional and systemic vascular resistance and impaired ability to increase blood flow to active muscles during exercise. Aging enhances vasoconstrictor responsiveness in both humans ... -
