Ages of extragalactic globular clusters can provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies. In this contribution the photometric methods of age dating old globular cluster systems are summarised. The spectroscopic approach is reviewed with an emphasis of the right choice of age diagnostics. We present a new method of quantifying the relatively best age-sensitive spectros...

After open partial laryngectomy (HOPL), many patients experience deterioration of laryngeal function over time. The aim of this study was to evaluate laryngeal functional outcome at least 10 years after surgery in a cohort of 80 elderly patients. The incidence of aspiration pneumonia (AP) and objective/subjective laryngeal functional assessments were carried out. Eight patients experienced AP i...

The objective of this paper is to explain the principles of the design of a coarse space in a simplified way and by pictures. The focus is on ideas rather than on a more historically complete presentation. That can be found, e.g., in [ 28]. Also, space limitation does not allow us even to mention many important methods and papers that should be rightfully included. The coarse space facilitates ...

The chemistry and isotope chemistry of natural materials is highly indicative of provenance and process throughout geological history. Our studies range in time from the earliest solar system through to processes that are actively taking place today, and in scope from planetary systems to individual molecules. Active areas of research centre on planetary studies, metamorphic and igneous geochem...

To all English-speaking people, Shakespeare's words on any subject are final. We think of Pyramus and Thisbe as comic, rather than romantic, characters, because they were played by the "rude mechanicals" in the Midsummer Night's Dream, and the Ages of Man are, beyond all question, seven, as enumerated by the melancholy Jacques. But, though Shakespeare has fixed this number, seven, so firmly in ...

[1] The processes and feedbacks responsible for the 100-kyr cycle of Late Pleistocene global climate change are still being debated. This paper presents a numerical model that integrates (1) long-wavelength outgoing radiation, (2) the ice-albedo feedback, and (3) lithospheric deflection within the simple conceptual framework of coherence resonance. Coherence resonance is a dynamical process tha...
