In this article, we develop a tentative philosophy to orchestrate and support possibilities for artful ageing. This effort argues that older adults need broader range of opportunities explore the manifold ephemeral, non-rational, in-between elements an ageing life. The is rooted in notion space (literally metaphorically) process their existence engaging such processes can entail emancipatory ef...

The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate genetic and ageing effects on beef quality. To study the genetic effects, association analyses were carried out between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at DGAT1, LEP, SCD1, CAPN1 and CAST genes with colour, marbling, water holding capacity (WHC) and tenderness in meat from young bulls of the beef cattle population in Sweden. In total 243 ...

background and aims: nowadays, the age structure of iran is transitioning from youth to elderly. although, the elderly population are still accounted for a small portion of the population; however, the population growth rate of this age group is growing compared to the growth of the total population. therefore, understanding of the changes of this population is necessary. this study aimed to id...

it is essential to make urban spaces usable for a wide range of citizens, including aged people. this study was carried out in sari, the center of mazandaran province, northern iran in 2013 to prioritize five urban parks of the city using fuzzy-ahp method in terms of three pre-defined criteria, including safety, security, and environmental health. firstly, the criteria and alternatives were def...

According to the antagonistic pleiotropy theory of ageing, natural selection has favoured genes conferring short-term benefits to the organism at the cost of deterioration in later life. The 'disposable soma' theory expresses this as a life-history strategy in which somatic maintenance is below the level required to prevent ageing, thus enabling higher immediate fertility. It has been argued th...

this study was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of long term ageing on toughness andresilient modulus of asphalt concrete mixtures containing electric arc and basic oxygen furnacesteel slags. after initial evaluation of the properties of steel slags using x-ray diffraction andscanning electric microscope, eleven sets of laboratory mixtures were prepared. each set wastreated replacing ...

Information regarding the adaptation of maize (Zea mays L .) inbred lines to various field conditions and seed longevity is essential for companies. The objective this work was evaluate different vigour tests detecting differences among naturally aged seeds assess relationship between quality parameters pedigree data lines. A 15 lines, selected at Maize Research Institute Zemun Polje, belonging...

Field ageing is investigated based on recovered binders. Fifteen sections were considered, consisting of unmodified and polymer-modified binders (PmB). Binders from the wearing course, after slicing cores horizontally. To assess field laboratory tendencies, compared to a set reference binders, tested before ageing. For three sites, bottom slices long-term aged properties top slices. Stiffness-b...

The molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate ageing are currently under scrutiny because ageing is linked to many human diseases. The nutrient sensing TOR pathway is emerging as a key regulator of ageing. TOR signaling is complex affecting several crucial cellular functions and two such functions, which show clear effects on ageing, are protein synthesis and autophagy. In this article we...

At least two types of ageing processes affect digital records: media ageing and semantic ageing. We argue that the main challenges for digital preservation arise from semantic ageing, that is, the evolution of data formats. The article analyzes a type of document that is particularly vulnerable to semantic ageing: the digital maps produced by researchers on built heritage which combine spatial ...
