Design and setting: cross-sectional and longitudinal surveys of older people living at home in Britain. Measures: active ageing, health, psych-social, socio-economic circumstances, and indicators of quality of life. Results: respondents defined...

We study theoretically the role of ageing in the rheology of soft materials. We define several generalized rheological response functions suited to ageing samples (in which time translation invariance is lost). These are then used to study ageing effects within a simple scalar model (the “soft glassy rheology” or SGR model) whose constitutive equations relate shear stress to shear strain among ...

The hot deformation behavior of a typical martensitic stainless steel containing 2.1% Ni was investigated by means of the compression test in the strain rate range of 0.001-1 s-1 and temperature range of 950-1150 °C. The flow behavior of the steel was evaluated using the flow stress curves and flow softening map and by microstructural investigation. Taking into account of the strain effect on t...

apparent rise in the incidence of infertility in females and the trend shifting towards delayed child bearing brought up the concept of ovarian ageing. women in their early thirties show poor ovarian reserve which is an entity named as early ovarian ageing. early ovarian ageing is mostly genetically determined, but acquired modifiable factors like smoking, or ovarian surgery have some roles. in...
