(Vanderbilt University, 2008-08-05)Yeast are an important eukaryotic model system in the study of aging. Replicative age in budding yeast can be quantitatively determined by visualizing chitanous bud scars. The dynamics of the process of growth and division ...
-
(The Review of Economics and Statistics, 1991)Abstract-The results of a national survey of smoking risks and smoking behavior are analyzed. Smoking risk perceptions follow the expected patterns given age differences in risk information acquired and differences in ...
