background: aging population and prevalence of diseases like cancer among them have affected general health of the elderly, so that one of the influential factors on health components of elderly patients with cancer is death anxiety, which has important consequences in them. methods: in this cross-sectional (descriptive correlational) study, 130 elderly patients with cancer undergoing chemother...

This paper investigates environmental aging effects on thermal and mechanical properties of three model electrically conductive adhesives (ECAs). A combination of several experimental techniques including thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and stress-strain dogbone testing has been utilized throughout this study. Samples...

Mammalian genes frequently present allelic variants that differ in their expression levels and that, in the case of tumor suppressor genes, can be of relevance for cancer susceptibility and aging. We report here the characterization of a novel mouse model with increased activity for the Ink4a and Arf tumor suppressors. We have generated a "super Ink4a/Arf" mouse strain carrying a transgenic cop...

AIM This analysis sought to define the concept of individualized aging. BACKGROUND The growing older adult population and shortage of health professionals with adequate knowledge of their specialized needs will strain the health care system. The National League for Nursing's Advancing Care Excellence for Seniors (ACES) project has addressed this challenge. The ACES framework identifies three ...

We propose a layered facial simulation model for skin aging with wrinkles, which includes muscle, connective tissue and skin layer. Our aim is to simulate relevant facial animation and aging with the guidance of general facial tissue anatomy, so that the model can be extended to medical and cosmetic applications. B-spline muscle patches are automatically adapted to each individual face by mappi...

Abstract In order to study the effects of asphalt regenerators on fatigue properties mixed asphalt, linear amplitude scanning (LAS) test was designed and four types (non-petroleum NRA NRB, petroleum PR bio-oil based BR) were mixed. The VECD theory analysis method used evaluate miscible with different regeneration agents, new old asphalt. results showed that: process regeneration, peak value str...
