Aging of high-performance fibers used in firefighters' protective clothing: State of the knowledge and path forward
Download2023-06-10
Md. Saiful Hoque, Patricia I. Dolez
High-performance fibers developed since the 1960s have a wide range of appli-cations including firefighters' protective clothing. Firefighters' protective cloth-ing made of inherently flame-resistant high-performance fibers offers excellentprotection in the new condition. However, these fibers...

Effects of Tripeptide IRW (Ile-Arg-Trp) on metabolism, mitochondrial biogenesis, and lifespan extension
DownloadSpring 2022
Bioactive tripeptide IRW (Ile-Arg-Trp) was initially identified as an ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitory peptide from egg protein ovotransferrin. The pharmacological spectrum of IRW extends towards metabolic boosting and anti-diabetic properties as well. The overall objectives of this...

Cardioprotective effects of n-3 and n-6 PUFA derived epoxylipids against age-related cardiac alterations
DownloadSpring 2021
Age-associated changes leading to a decline in cardiac structure and function contribute to the increased susceptibility and incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in elderly individuals. A steady decline in mitochondrial function is recognized as an important biological consequence found in...

The population of older adults in Ghana is growing rapidly, and is projected to increase two-fold over the period 2015 to 2050. Despite the unprecedented growth, not much is known about the living conditions and wellbeing of older Ghanaians, in part due to a paucity of research in this area. This...

Investigating Human Brain Function and Human Brain Organization Using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging at 4.7 T
DownloadFall 2020
Understanding the brain-cognition association has been a major goal of neuroscientists for more than 50 years. The discovery of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) contrast by Ogawa and colleagues (1990, 1992) has fundamentally transformed the field of...
