A superhydrophobic surface with aging resistance, excellent mechanical restorablity and droplet bounce properties.

Soft Matter, 2020
The use of a silicone rubber composite insulator has become an important aspect to ensure the safe operation of an electrical power grid. This study introduces a preparation method of a superhydrophobic silicone rubber surface using a simple preparation ...

Insulin resistance and pathological brain ageing

Diabetic Medicine, 2011
Diabet. Med. 28, 1463–1475 (2011)AbstractSir Harold Himsworth’s prescient observations 75 years ago have recently been expanded to include a clear relationship between insulin resistance and central nervous system function. Insulin is a master regulator of corporeal ageing in all known species, determining the rate and expression of ageing in multiple ...

Headlight Glare Resistance and Driver Age

Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting, 1978
The physiological glare thresholds (defined as the logarithm of the ratio at threshold between illuminances of glare source and target background) of 148 subjects from 5 to 91 years of age were measured in a Wolf glare tester. The data can be represented by a power function: (physiological glare threshold) =—3 × 10−5(age)2.4 + 2.4.

Insulin-resistance (IR) in older age

Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 2008
A study pool of 1549 normoglycemic elderly in the age range of 65-84 years, taken from the epidemiological Italian Longitudinal Study on Aging (ILSA), was constructed. The values of IR, %B and %S were analyzed using the homeostasis assessment model-2 (HOMA-2).

Age-Related Insulin Resistance; A Review

Hormone Research, 1992
Impaired glucose tolerance occurs with age. This impairment is multifactorial including a decrease in insulin-mediated glucose uptake by peripheral tissues and a delay in insulin-induced suppression of hepatic glucose output. A post-binding defect in insulin action such as a reduced capacity to transcribe more glucose transporter mRNA and/or a reduced ...

Aging: A body of resistance

Nursing & Health Sciences, 2002
Abstract The present paper explores the language of aging used, often unthinkingly, by nurses and policy makers. Terms so often used when describing aging, such as ‘frailty’ and ‘dependence’, are used in a way that implies a common knowledge, a point of convergence.

Aging, Resisting, Redefining

2009
Abstract When Helen Gurley Brown first stepped into the editor’s office at Cosmopolitan in 1965, she was forty-three years old. It was not unusual to encounter an editor a generation older than a magazine’s audience, particularly when the target audience was that coveted eighteen-to-thirty-four age group.
