Ageing and vascular ageing [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2006 Abstract There is an age related decline in various physiological processes. Vascular ageing is associated with changes in the mechanical and the structural properties of the vascular wall, which leads to the loss of arterial elasticity and reduced arterial compliance.

Contemporary and Historical Evidence to Suggest that Women’s Preference for Age at Birth of First Child Remains Consistent Across Time [PDF]
, 2014 Women’s ability to reproduce is restricted by menarche and menopause. First children are, however, not typically born until some years after the onset of puberty. Other factors therefore contribute towards this delay. In this context, women’s hips do not

MARK-AGE biomarkers of ageing [PDF]
Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, 2015 Many candidate biomarkers of human ageing have been proposed in the scientific literature but in all cases their variability in cross-sectional studies is considerable, and therefore no single measurement has proven to serve a useful marker to determine, on its own, biological age.

On Super-Planckian thermal emission in far field regime
, 2016 We study, in the framework of the Landauer theory, the thermal emission in far-field regime, of arbitrary indefinite planar media and finite size systems.

Heat engine driven by photon tunneling in many-body systems [PDF]
, 2015 Near-field heat engines are devices that convert the evanescent thermal field supported by a primary source into usable mechanical energy. By analyzing the thermodynamic performance of three-body near-field heat engines, we demonstrate that the power ...

Communication and Language Profiles of Children Treated for Posterior Fossa Brain Tumors
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Cognitive and language deficits are frequently reported sequelae of posterior fossa brain tumors (PFBT). Typically, delayed onset impedes prompt assessment and early intervention. This has devastating implications for quality of life.
