Impaired Postural Control Reduces Sit-to-Stand-to-Sit Performance in Individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [PDF]
Background: Functional activities, such as the sit-to-stand-to-sit (STSTS) task, are often impaired in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Healthy aging—would cytotoxic T lymphocytes stand out?
Senescent cells (SnCs) accumulate in multiple tissue types with the process of individual aging, hindering tissue renewal and driving multiple aging-related disorders. Aside from senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) neutralization and senolytics, there is an emerging senolysis strategy to eliminate SnCs by mobilizing the immunosurveillance ...

Clover Root Curculio Injury and Abundance in Minnesota Alfalfa of Different Stand Age [PDF]
Root injury and midsummer adult abundance of clover root curculio (CRC), Sitona hispidulus (Fabricius), was surveyed in 24 different aged southeastern Minnesota alfalfa fields. CRC presence was not detected in first year fields 2-3 months following stand

An early Little Ice Age brackish water invasion along the south coast of the Caspian Sea (sediment of Langarud wetland) and its wider impacts on environment and people [PDF]
Caspian Sea level has undergone significant changes through time with major impacts not only on the surrounding coasts, but also offshore. This study reports a brackish water invasion on the southern coast of the Caspian Sea constructed from a multi ...

Impact of orography and stand canopy on stand volume in pure uneven-aged beech stands
European beech is one of the most important and most common tree species in Europe, which have extremely wide amplitude in sense of horizontal and vertical distribution. In Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) represents one of the most important tree species from an economic and ecological point of view, because it's ...

Attitudes to ageing and objectively-measured sedentary and walking behaviour in older people: the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 [PDF]
Background:Prolonged sitting and low activity—both common in older people—are associated with increased mortality and poorer health. Whether having a more negative attitude to ageing is associated with higher levels of these behaviours is unclear ...

Carbon cycling in mature and regrowth forests globally
Forests are major components of the global carbon (C) cycle and thereby strongly influence atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO _2 ) and climate. However, efforts to incorporate forests into climate models and CO _2 accounting frameworks have been constrained ...
