Awareness in ageing
Deficits in awareness are found in diseases of ageing, and with acute and traumatic brain injury. Despite investigations of awareness in ageing patient populations, little is known about any potential effects of normal ageing on awareness. The Hierarchies of Processing model (Stuss, Picton & …

Ageing and emotion regulation
The thesis commences with a review of trends in declining psychological disorders as a person ages. These findings are understood in terms of differences between older and<br/>younger adults’ emotion processing. Socio-emotional selectivity theory is introduced as one account of these age …

Digital ageing: How ageism and technology influence the ageing experience of older adults
… presence of digital technology means that the ageing experience has become entangled with technology. Older adults’ digital technology engagement is diverse and ranges from proficient and frequent users to non-users. However, there remains a generational difference in the acceptance of digital …

The biology of ageing: pro- and anti-ageing signals from the reproductive system
Abstract This context of this thesis is that ageing is characterised by the accumulation of random cellular damage leading to a decrease in reproductive function and survival, which ends in death. The antagonistic pleiotropy theory for ageing suggests selection favours genes with positive effects …

The Ageing of Little Red
The enduring significance of toys is acknowledged through an examination of the history and cultural commonality of toys, from ancient clay toys to the many and enduring uses of toys up to present times. The concepts of Donald Winnicott and Lois Rostow Kuznet link toys to the sub-conscious and the …

Impulse ageing of polymeric materials
… that lightning impulses can lead to accelerated ageing of extruded polymeric cables. The results show that there may well be a reduction in electric field strength of the insulation of a power cable that experiences a lot of impressed lightning impulse over-voltages. Pre-designed shaped …

Ageing Mechanisms in Automotive Catalysts
… and expensive nature of on-road and on-engine ageing, laboratory ageing and testing methods are becoming increasingly important, as well as mathematical catalyst simulation models. With the regulations concerning automotive emissions becoming more and more stringent it is important that these …

Predictive Modelling of Bone Ageing
Bone age assessment (BAA) is a task performed daily by paediatricians in hospitalsworldwide. The main reasons for BAA to be performed are: fi�rstly, diagnosis of growth disorders through monitoring skeletal development; secondly, prediction of final adult height; and fi�nally, verifi�cation of age …

Motherhood, Female Ageing and Samuel Beckett
… to analyse the tropes of motherhood and female ageing in his oeuvre. The thesis is divided into two parts: part one investigates themes of misogyny, maternity and motherhood in a selection of the young Beckett’s writing. I consider how the trope of misogyny, which spans twenty years, provides a …

Ageing and Mobility- Making the Connections
… recent years as part of discourses around active ageing and ageing independently. Here mobility is predominantly conceptualised in terms of its function for ensuring older people’s well-being and quality of life. It is therefore often seen as a “means to an end”, for instance in providing the …

The fatigue ageing of vulcanised rubbers
The cause of the respective rough and smooth fatigue failure surfaces of Neoprene GS : Neoprene W and Neoprene GS : natural rubber vulcanisates is investigated. The contrasting morphology of the vulcanisates is found to be the major factor determining the fatigue behaviour of the blends. Neoprene …

Lifestyle, Brain Structure and Cognitive Ageing
… and brain structure correlates of cognitive ageing. Using large datasets and a range of multivariate statistical approaches, it is divided into three empirical sections, which are framed by a General Introduction and Conclusion. The first Chapter, the General Introduction, discusses this …

A marhahús érésének vizsgálata, az érlelési technológia fejlesztése = Investigation of beef ageing, development of the ageing technology
Magyarországon az elmúlt négy évtized során folyamatosan mérséklődött a húsfogyasztás, különösen a vörös húsoké. Marhahús esetében a porhanyósság az egyik legfontosabb, a fogyasztói megítélésben szerepet játszó minőségi tényező, amely nemcsak az állat korából adódik, hanem érettségi állapotából is. …

Ketosis Suppression and Ageing (KetoSAge): Suppression of ketosis negatively affects multiple biomarkers associated with chronic diseases and ageing
… are among the best documented hallmarks of ageing. Ageing is typically understood in its chronological context, as the length of time that has passed since a person’s birth, whereas biological age is the measure of functional age, often measured in terms of physical and mental performance, …

Physical ageing in semi-crystalline polyethylene terephthalate
… of crystallisation, glass transition and polymer ageing. Many scientists have studied their findings on the work of L.C.E Struik who led the way in polymer science. However, there has been, as far as research shows, no work on Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and the effects ageing can have on …

High intensity training: implications for optimal ageing
Ageing is associated with a decline in health. Physical activity is known to attenuate this decline; however a large amount of the general population does not participate in the recommended amount of physical activity. Time is reported in middle-aged and elderly populations as a major barrier to …

Somatic Mutations in Ageing and Degenerative Disease
Following the first division of the zygote, somatic mutations begin to accumulate in all human cells. Daughter cells become increasingly mutated leading to mosaic tissues, composed of genetically heterogeneous clonal units. In recent years, large scale sequencing efforts have begun to characterise …
