BACKGROUND telomere length has been used to represent biological ageing and is found to be associated with various physiological, psychological and social factors. OBJECTIVE to explore the effects of income and marriage on leucocyte telomere length in a representative sample of older adults. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS cross-sectional analysis among 298 adults, aged 65-74, randomly selected from th...

A bstract We carry out an extensive study of the holographic aspects any-dimensional higher-derivative Einstein-Maxwell theories in a fully analytic and non-perturbative fashion. achieve this by introducing d -dimensional version Electromagnetic Quasitopological gravities: gravity electromagnetism that propagate no additional degrees freedom allow one to charged black hole solutions analyticall...

Urbanized and post‐industrial sites often host considerable biodiversity but are too frequently dismissed by conservation professionals, in part because current species assemblages differ from the site's natural history. Given dramatic irreversible changes to these sites, we conclude that historic ecosystems do not provide a useful reference for restoration. However, seen through novel ecosyste...

The main goal of this paper is to analyze the (pseudo)scientific status psychoanalysis and identifying methodological problems testing psychoanalytic hypotheses. After considering scientific hermeneutic reception psychoanalysis, we see future in pluralism as a research method that bridges gap between two mentioned traditions.

We have examined a new method for generating coarse-grained models of polymers. The resulting models consist of bead-spring chains with the spring force law taken from the force-extension behavior in the constant extension ensemble. This method, called the polymer ensemble transformation method, is applied to the freely jointed chain. The resulting model illustrates why current bead-spring chai...
