(2020-07-14)Determining appropriate theory to analyze how the aging process impacts prison management has proven difficult. Since there is little extant theory that can posit factors and trends leading to an aging inmate population ...
-
(2012-08-29)Unlike in laboratory compacted asphalt mixtures, the distribution of viscoelastic properties in field layers is not uniform because of nonuniform air void distribution and aging. Therefore, characterization of field specimens ...
-
(2018-08-02)Women are susceptible to knee injuries, like torn ligaments, and diseases such as osteoarthritis and sarcopenia. Researchers in the fields of physical therapy, sports science, and medicine have been investigating topics ...
-
(2020-07-13)Fatigue damage and aging are two typical deterioration modes in flexible pavements. Fatigue damage is mainly caused by load repetitions. It results in the degradation of pavement materials and structures which significantly ...
-
(1978)Four theoretical explanations for the existence of negative attitudes toward the old, (1) poor life satisfaction as measured by loss in socioeconomic status, poor health and financial insecurity, (2) nearness to death of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The purpose of this study was to identify benefits and constraints associated with the use of urban parks by a sample of elderly in Hong Kong. Before studying these topics, self-perception of aging of the elderly in Hong ...
-
(2011-10-21)The purpose of the study is to investigate how older adults adjust to getting older and the losses that come with aging. This study examines how E.T. Higgins's theory of self-discrepancy mediates the relationship between ...

(2012-12-05)Boneless ribeye rolls (n = 12) and boneless top sirloin butts (n = 12) were obtained from heavy weight carcasses (mean = 407.8 kg), assigned to one of two aging treatments (dry or wet) and aged for 35 days at a commercial ...
-
(2014-04-14)Endothelial dysfunction is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases, and aging is associated with a gradual decline in endothelial function. Furthermore, endothelial dysfunction in arteries and ...
-
(2012-07-16)Nicotine, the major psychoactive ingredient of tobacco smoke, underlies numerous effects by activating neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Both in vitro and in vivo studies suggest that nicotine is neuroprotective ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Many senescent individuals demonstrate an inability to regulate mean arterial pressure (MAP) in response to standing or head-up tilt; however, whether this aging effect is the result of depressed cardiac function or an ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Aging is characterized by a progressive decline in cardiac function. A critical contributor to the age-related impairment in heart function is the loss of cardiac myocytes through ??apoptosis??, or programmed cell death. ...
-
(2009-05-15)Aging is characterized by a progressive impairment of cardiac structure and function. The cardiac remodeling involves loss of cardiac myocytes, reactive hypertrophy of the remaining cells, and increased extracellular matrix ...
-
(2022-12-10)Parkinson’s disease is a multifaceted neurodegenerative disease characterized by dopamine neuron loss; but more importantly there are no know treatments for PD that can truly alter disease progression. The two major risk ...
-

-
(2013-09-25)The mechanisms and causes of aging, the greatest risk factor of disease, are poorly understood. For aging at the single-cell level, this lack of knowledge results from limitations in the methods traditionally used in cell ...
-
(2016-04-07)Autophagy is a cellular process to sequester cytoplasmic components for delivery to lysosomes for subsequent degradation, and plays important roles in aging and aging-associated pathogenesis. MAP1S is a ubiquitously ...
