Abstract:

The Hydrodyne process was used to tenderize early de-boned broiler (EB) breasts. The first objective was to determine effects of explosive and distance of the explosive to the meat surface. EB breasts were removed immediately after initial chill (45 min post-mortem), stored for 24 hours, and subjected to one of four treatment combinations. Hydrodyne treatment of 350 g at 20 cm produced the greatest increase in Warner-Bratzler shear (1.9-cm wide strips) tenderness (28.3%), and was the only treatment to increase tenderness (peak force 4.3 kg) to a level equivalent (P>0.05) to aged controls (CA

Abstract:

The normal aging process is accompanied by changes in cognitive function. One of the brain regions known to be an early target of the aging process is the hippocampus, a medial temporal lobe structure that is critically involved in spatial learning and memory function. The formation and maintenance of memory relies on rapid and sustainable synaptic modification, which requires new gene expression. Immediate-early genes are the first genes to be induced following relevant stimuli, and include genes that encode transcription factors, such as c-fos and zif268, and effector proteins that directly

Abstract:

This dissertation describes separate but related studies that explore the prospective memory abilities of older adults and individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment/Early Alzheimer’s disease. Prospective memory (PM) refers to the type of memory utilized to execute planned actions in accordance with a specific event. PM is critical to maintaining functional independence in older adults, as it can refer to such basic acts as remembering to turn off a stove or taking one’s medication. Research suggests PM abilities decline within normal aging and to a greater extent in Mild Cognitive Impairment

Abstract:

<p> Early detection of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is crucial. The risk of progressing to advanced stages is higher among those in the earliest stages of AD, and early diagnosis can lead to more effective treatment. Language assessments can be effective in diagnosing AD early. The current study evaluated the effectiveness of action fluency tasks in detecting early AD. An individual with early AD and a normal aging individual participated in three verbal fluency tasks: letter, category, and action. Results revealed that the individual with early AD performed more poorly than the normal aging

Abstract:

By analyzing the language used in tombstone inscriptions, death notices, funeral sermons, and memoirs, this thesis reviews how cultural expectations placed on women during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries impacted the reputation of aged women. Specifically, it demonstrates how the ideology of domesticity contributed to the reputation of aged women as women and how advanced age influenced their exemplary place in society. Ultimately, this thesis argues the concept of gender identity that was influential throughout the life course was magnified in importance during old age.<b

Abstract:

Although universal and unavoidable, aging does not occur in a uniform way. In this dissertation, we assessed the effects of early life exposure to pro-inflammatory risk factors (air pollution and obesity) on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content and telomere length, considered as markers of biological aging, at birth and during childhood. First we observed that an increment in nitrogen dioxide (NO2) exposure during pregnancy was associated with a decrease in both placental mtDNA content and birth weight and length (chapter 2 and 3). Secondly, we showed that the association between prenatal NO2 exp

Abstract:

Osteoarthritis (OA) has been one of the most prevalent joint disorders which cause pain, impair mobility of patients and bring heavy burden to social economics. Unfortunately up to now we still know little about OA. We are not sure what exactly cause OA. The pathogenesis of OA is not clearly understood. Besides, we don’t have effective treatment for OA. When joint degeneration goes to the end-stage, Total Joint Replacement surgery seems to be the only way to relieve pain and restore joint function. Since cartilage degeneration is quite difficult to be stopped or reversed, people are trying

It is not that the elderly didn’t exist, it is that the methods used to identify and age people in the past, combined with current attitudes, have rendered them invisible. This thesis

Many older adults desire to maintain their quality of life by living and aging independently in their own homes. However, it is difficult for older adults to notice and track the subtle changes in their own abilities because these abilities can change gradually over a long period of time. Technology in the form of ubiquitous sensors embedded in objects in the home can play a role in keeping track of the functional abilities of individuals unobtrusively, objectively, and continuously over a long period of time.

Improved knowledge of these early life histories potentially will aid fisheries, habitat and resource management. Investigations were conducted following two lines. First, alewife and blueback herring larvae reared from eggs were used to investigate methods for species identification and to validate the otolith increment method for age determination. Blueback herring larvae hatched from naturally-spawned eggs wer

Abstract:

Although the cost of investment in power lines insulators is 3-5% of the total cost of the installation, the impact of their performance on reliability, failure costs, maintenance routines, etc in power systems is tens of times higher. Composite insulators were introduced 50 years ago and have been used around the world with consistently good experience. Low weight, easy handling, good performance under high pollution, low maintenance costs, and resistance to vandalism are some of their advantages. Nevertheless, acid rain, salty dust deposition, corona discharges, ozone, UV radiation, and humi

Abstract:

Cette thèse s'inscrit dans le contexte de la production et de l'utilisation du vecteur énergétique hydrogène dont le potentiel est très prometteur dans un paysage énergétique renouvelé. Plus exactement, cette étude traite des électrolyseurs et des piles à combustible de technologie PEM (membranes échanges de protons) fonctionnant à basse température. Dans une très large majorité, les études présentées ici se sont inscrites en partenariat étroit avec HELION Hydrogen Power, notamment dans le cadre du projet ANR AIRELLES (2008- 2011). Tout d'abord sont posées les bases de modèles (quasi-statique,

Abstract:

The evolution of atomistic-level nanostructure during the early stages of both standard, high-temperature T6 heat treatment, and low-temperature secondary ageing after interruption of the former (T6I4), has been investigated in rapid hardening Al-Cu-Mg alloys using a variety of microscopy and microanalytical techniques, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) and atom probe tomography (APT).

Abstract:

La prédiction précise du comportement à long et court terme des structures en béton dans le domaine nucléaire est essentielle pour assurer des performances optimales (intégrité, capacité de confinement) pendant leur durée de vie. Dans le cas particulier des structures massives en béton, la chaleur produite au jeune âge par les processus d'hydratation ne peut pas s’évacuer rapidement, si bien que des températures élevées peuvent être atteintes et les gradients de température qui en résultent peuvent conduire à la fissuration, en fonction des conditions aux limites et contraintes internes auxque

Abstract:

This thesis developed new pupillometry paradigms to objectively measure melanopsin function in humans with healthy or diseased eyes. It was determined that melanopsin function is independent of age and refractive error. The novel quadrant field pupil protocols detected melanopsin dysfunction in the very early stages of glaucoma (in suspects) when it is difficult to detect visual dysfunction with conventional ophthalmic tests. The outcomes advance understanding of melanopsin function in humans and introduce optimised pupillometry protocols for translation to clinical settings to guide treatment
