Cox-type model validation with recurrent event data
… model for recurrent events that accounts for the effective age and time varying covariates. Estimators of the regression parameters as well as baseline hazard function are obtained using the counting processes and martingales machinery techniques. Asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators …

Component Level Reuse by Incorporating Entropy Metrics Into a Multiattribute Design Decision Model
… implementation. The mathematical constructs of effective age and variability presented in the work should encourage use of normative and mathematically rigorous techniques in modeling of parameters. Analysis of the results will facilitate redesign endeavors so that manufacturers are aware of …

DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF PURINE BASED NEUROPROTECTORS AND NOVEL SYNTHETIC METHODS FOR THE TRIFLUOROMETHYLATION OF ALDEHYDE HYDRAZONES
… and cancers. Towards the goal of effective AGE-inhibitors, and neuroprotector compounds we have synthesized a series of novel purine-based triazoles and investigated their neuroprotective effects, using SHSY-3Y human neuroblastoma cell line. Through these studies, we have …

Factors influencing crosslink formation in muscle tissue
… ALT-711 on the concentration of soluble collagen, as well as its effectiveness on meat tenderness.;Final body weights were not affected by treatments. Muscle tenderness was higher (p < 0.05) for TB, SS, BF, ST, and LT (p < 0.10) for A-maturity animals compared to control and ALT-711 treated …

The Neural Correlates of the Age-Related Decrements in Selective Attention That Occur in Healthy Cognitive Aging: an FMRI Study of the Stroop Task
… to analyze the gradual neural and behavioural age-related changes that surreptitiously begin in mid-adulthood and continue into late-life. Attention serves as an example of one of these mid-life behavioural changes and, as such, offers an excellent opportunity for investigation into the early, …

Access to Medication-Assisted Treatment for Opioid Dependence in the United States – Identifying Implications for Policy and Practice
… the US. This study investigates access to MAT by age group in the US. Its primary aim is to investigate barriers faced by adults diagnosed with OUD in accessing MAT by examining the constructs in a conceptual framework that includes the influence of policy, environment, population features, health …

Incorporating the Weathering Hypothesis and Virtual Imaging to Multivariable Macroscopic Adult Age Estimation for Forensic Anthropology
Adult age estimation in forensic anthropology is critical to the identification of unknown individuals across medico-legal, political violence, and humanitarian contexts. Despite decades of methodological development, current approaches remain accurate but imprecise—yielding wide age intervals that …
