Affine Noetherian algebras, filtrations and presentations

Resco and Small gave the first example of an affine Noetherian algebra which is not finitely presented. It shown that their has no finite-dimensional filtrations whose associated graded algebras are Noetherian, affirming prediction. A modification yields countable fields over ‘almost all’ (that is, a co-countable continuum of) lack such filtration, answer to question suggested by Irving derived.
