Age determinations of the open star clusters King 14 and NGC 146 [PDF]
We based on 2MASS J and Ks photometry for the open star clusters King 14 and NGC 146, and using color magnitude diagrams with isochrones fit we have found an age of log(age) = 7.8 (63 $\pm$8 Myr) for King 14 and log(age) = 7.5 (32 $\pm$8 Myr) for NGC 146. Our age determination is bigger than given in Lynga [5] (log(age) = 7.2 for King 14 and log(age) =

Background Ageing is associated with a decline in immune function termed immunosenescence. This process is characterized amongst others by less naive T-cells and more senescent phenotypes, which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of many age ...

On Relative Ageing of Coherent Systems with Dependent Identically Distributed Components [PDF]
Relative ageing describes how a system ages with respect to another one. The ageing faster orders are the ones which compare the relative ageings of two systems. Here, we study ageing faster orders in the hazard and the reversed hazard rates. We provide some sufficient conditions for proving that one coherent system dominates another system with ...

Storying Alzheimer's Disease in Lisa Genova's Still Alice [PDF]
Taking as its starting point the value of literary studies to work on ageing, this paper explores the contribution of literature to the discourse of ageing and illness, focussing on an illness synonymous with ageing in the cultural imagination ...

Age-Associated Disorders As A Proxy Measure Of Biological Age: Findings From the NLTCS Data [PDF]
Background: The relative contribution of different aging-associated processes to the age phenotype may differ among individuals, creating variability in aging manifestations among age-peers. Capturing this variability can significantly advance understanding the aging and mortality.

Background Recreational parks can play a significant role in older people’s health, with emerging evidence suggesting that changes in the physical environment, such as refurbishments of local parks, can increase park visitations and physical activity ...
