The clock is ticking as the clot thickens.

چکیده
According to the United Nations Population Division, the number of people who are over the age of 65 will approach 1.5 billion, or 16% of the population, by the year 2050. The fastest-growing segment of the population is the “oldest old,” ie, age 80. In North America and Europe, this group will jump from 10 million in 2010 to almost 40 million by 2050. These staggering demographic changes will increasingly challenge health care systems, as the numbers of individuals requiring medical care will progressively rise.

The Clock Ticking Changes Our Performance
We examined influence of a clock ticking on task performance using a laboratory experiment. We determined performance at various clock speeds using a trick clock that allowed us to control the speed of the ticking. We found that which the clock ticked, and people performed more slowly with a slow clock. We demonstrated that common environmental stimuli we encounter in life, such as the ticking ...
متن کاملThe clock is ticking: the sound of a ticking clock speeds up women's attitudes on reproductive timing.
The "biological clock" serves as a powerful metaphor that reflects the constraints posed by female reproductive biology. The biological clock refers to the progression of time from puberty to menopause, marking the period during which women can conceive children. Findings from two experiments suggest that priming the passage of time through the sound of a ticking clock influenced various aspect...
متن کاملThe Clock Is Ticking
THE CLOCK IS TICKING on my last year as editor in chief. It’s now either a bit over two months into 2014 (as I write this) or just under halfway through (by the time you read this), so this is an opportune time to revisit goals and priorities while there’s still time for corrective action. Managing IEEE Software for the past three years has been a fun and fascinating endeavor, in no small part ...
متن کاملA Study on Ratio of Loss to Storage Modulus for the Blood Clot
In this study the rheology of blood clot is measured with the help of rotational rheometer. Several shear strain (0.5, 1 and 2%) are applied with two frequencies (5 and 10 Hz) from the incipient time of clot formation and the response of the sample is measured with the form of shear stress and the phase lag which is interpreted with storage and loss moduli. In this study the ratio of loss to st...
متن کاملTracking and visualizing the circadian ticking of the cyanobacterial clock protein KaiC in solution.
The circadian clock in cyanobacteria persists even without the transcription/translation feedbacks proposed for eukaryotic systems. The period of the cyanobacterial clock is tuned to the circadian range by the ATPase activity of a clock protein known as KaiC. Here, we provide structural evidence on how KaiC ticks away 24 h while coupling the ATPase activity in its N-terminal ring to the phospho...
