BACKGROUND This study examined ethnic differences in ageing perceptions of migrant Turkish and native Dutch elders residing in Rotterdam, and explored whether such differences could be attributed to culture or resources (personal, physical, economic and/or social). METHODS This study was based on combined data from two research projects focusing on the health and well-being of community-dwell...

Nowadays a wide variety of warping applications is known, like educational ones and entertainment ones. The method presented in this work modifies conventional warping techniques in order to applicate it in ageing facial manipulation. We used ageing curves of facial region to show forward and backward ageing face.

Sir Harold Himsworth's prescient observations 75 years ago have recently been expanded to include a clear relationship between insulin resistance and central nervous system function. Insulin is a master regulator of corporeal ageing in all known species, determining the rate and expression of ageing in multiple body systems. Thus, it is not surprising that insulin also plays an important role i...

Black carbon (BC) particles in the atmosphere have important impacts on climate. The amount of BC in the atmosphere must be carefully quantified to allow evaluation of the climate effects of this type of aerosol. In this study, we present the treatment of BC aerosol in the developmental version of the 4th generation Canadian Centre for Climate modelling and analysis (CCCma) atmospheric general ...

The paper describes the studies on the ageing research for upgrades using digital I&C system. After the ageing analysis of QNPP reactor protection system, we will upgrade the analog reactor protection system using digital system. The paper also describes the digital modernization oAf QNPP reactor protection system and the ageing study of the QNPP digital reactor protection system.
