The different paths to 1001 – 4

چکیده

Many people believe that the older a person gets, the sicker he or she becomes. The result can be quite a pessimistic view of very old age. If this were true, most if not all centenarians would have significant disability. However, 90% of centenarians in a population-based study were functionally independent at the average age of 92 y. Thus, to achieve extreme old age, a much more enabling point of view emerges: the older an individual gets, the healthier he or she has been. Centenarians thus have the potential to represent a model of relative resistance to age-related diseases and slower aging. Currently, 1 in every 10 000 persons in the United States is 100 y of age or older. This prevalence is quickly changing, however, and it is likely that most industrialized nations will soon experience twice that prevalence, or one centenarian per 5000 persons. The ability to survive to extreme old age appears to be the result of a complex combination of genetics, environment, lifestyle, and luck. Understanding the genetics of the very old, and identifying the molecular drivers of longevity (or of mortality), is a potentially powerful approach to discovering and targeting the pathways mediating aging and disease susceptibility and developing preventive and therapeutic agents that will allow more of the population to age in good health.

Thermodynamic properties of polarized liquid 3He along different isentropic paths

The dependence of some thermodynamic properties of spin-polarized liquid 3He such as velocity of sound, adiabatic index, isentropic compressibility and temperature on the spin polarization has been investigated along different isentropic paths. The Lennard-Jones potential has been used in our calculations. It has been found that for higher values of entropy, the spin polarization has greate...

An Algorithm to Obtain Possibly Critical Paths in Imprecise Project Networks

  We consider criticality in project networks having imprecise activity duration times. It is well known that finding all possibly critical paths of an imprecise project network is an NP-hard problem. Here, based on a method for finding critical paths of crisp networks by using only the forward recursion of critical path method, for the first time an algorithm is proposed which can find all pos...

مکانیابی خطاهای پنهان نرم افزار با استفاده از آنتروپی متقاطع و مدلهای n-گرام

The aim is to automate the process of bug localization in program source code. The cause of program failure could be best determined by comparing and analyzing correct and incorrect execution paths generated by running the instrumented program with different failing and passing test cases. To compare and analysis the execution paths, one approach is clustering the paths according to their simil...
