Hip fracture - Mortality and residual lifetime risk of fractures
… (766 women, 263 men) were followed within a remaining lifetime perspective to a maximum of 26 years and compared with a background population matched for age and sex. Hip fracture patients had a higher mortality, in comparison to the control population. The size of the differences was highly …

Studies on real world visual field data in glaucoma
… impairment or blindness in their predicted remaining lifetime. A significant minority of patients were progressing at rates that could lead to statutory blindness, as defined by the US Social Security Administration, in their predicted remaining lifetime (5.2% [CI: 4.5-6.0%]) with a further …

Nondestructive Evaluation of Engine Run Turbine Blades Using Laser Ablation and Photoluminesence Stress Measurements
… the inspection of TBCs and the eventual use of remaining lifetime models on individual components would save potentially functional parts from being removed from use before necessary. Using thermally sprayed sample coupons and simulated thermal loading in elevator furnaces, non-destructive …

High-temperature defect engineering for silicon solar cells : predictive process simulation and synchrotron-based microcharacterization
… in precipitated iron, leading to marked lifetime improvement. By combining the impurity kinetics modeling with the experimental assessment of metal distribution, design guidelines for process improvement are proposed: the high-temperature portion of the process can be designed to enhance …

Investigation on no-load mechanical endurance and electrical degradation of a circuit breaker model under short circuit current interruption
… to rated short-circuit current ratio and the remaining lifetime can be determined. This result will be used to verify the accuracy of simulation tools in order to visualize the aging process, to evaluate the interrupter condition and to minimize the expensive experiment tests.

Entwicklung eines Lebensdauersensors : Entwicklung und Anwendung eines neuartiges Konzepts zur Aufnahme von Bauteilbeanspruchungen für Betriebsfestigkeitsanalysen
Reliable prediction of the remaining service life for a conveyor chain is still an important requirement of customers which has not been solved satisfactorily up to now. The life time sensor developed through the research project “Intelligent Conveyor Chain” constitutes a new approach for long term …

The Extent and Evolution of Poverty and Inequality in Nigeria: Evidence from Household Expenditure Survey Datasets and an Assessment of the Impact of Oil Industry
… are not guaranteed to escape poverty in their remaining lifetime. The implication is that growth in Nigeria has not been sufficient nor has it demonstrated the potential to help the poor break free from poverty. However, like Brazil, Nigeria can significantly reduce poverty without absolute …
