The Relationship between Accretion Disc Age and Stellar Age and its Consequences for Proto-Stellar Discs [PDF]
, 2011 We show that for young stars which are still accreting and for which measurements of stellar age, disc mass and accretion rate are available, nominal disc age (Disc Age = Disc Mass / Accretion Rate) is approximately equal to the stellar age, at least within the considerable observational scatter.

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...

Forkhead transcription factors and ageing [PDF]
Oncogene, 2008 Mutations in single genes and environmental interventions can extend healthy lifespan in laboratory model organisms. Some of the mechanisms involved show evolutionary conservation, opening the way to using simpler invertebrates to understand human ageing.

miRNA‐29 regulates epidermal and mesenchymal functions in skin repair
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.miRNA‐29 inhibits cell‐to‐cell and cell‐to‐matrix adhesion by silencing mRNA targets. Adhesion is controlled by complex interactions between many types of molecules coded by mRNAs. This is crucial for keeping together the layers of the skin and for regenerating the skin after wounding.

Personalized Age Progression with Aging Dictionary [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 In this paper, we aim to automatically render aging faces in a personalized way. Basically, a set of age-group specific dictionaries are learned, where the dictionary bases corresponding to the same index yet from different dictionaries form a particular aging process pattern cross different age groups, and a linear combination of these patterns ...

The effect of visual impairment on quality of life of children aged 3-16 years [PDF]
, 2010 Background: It is well known that visual impairment (VI) has a detrimental effect on Quality of Life (QoL) in adults. Little is known about the effects of VI in childhood. Aims: To evaluate the effects of VI on QoL of children.
