28. Discussion Of The Paper By Jack C. Yue
    on the deviation of mortality rates from the gompertz law at advanced ages is abundant,starting with the study of benjamin gompertz himself (gompertz,1825  
    http://www.src.uchicago.edu/~gavr1/DYue.html
    
    Extractions: This is an interesting study, which suggests and applies new rigorous statistical methods to test the validity of the Gompertz law at extreme old ages. The author also suggested an explanation why the Gompertz law fails at older ages, based on the idea of population heterogeneity. It is important to discuss the scientific background related to this study because the significance of this work could be more fully appreciated in the context of previous findings. The current situation with applicability of the Gompertz law to extreme old ages is paradoxical. On the one hand, it is well known for a long time that the Gompertz law is not applicable to mortality rates at advanced ages the observed mortality rates are always lower than predicted by the Gompertz model, and, not surprisingly, the actual numbers of survivors to extreme ages is always higher than predicted by the Gompertz law. The picture below illustrates the mortality deceleration observed at advanced ages contrary to the predictions of the Gompertz law: Paradoxically, the Gompertz law and the Gompertz-Makeham law are nevertheless often applied to estimate the oldest-old mortality rates by extrapolation in order to "close" the life tables. When confronted with the question why these "wrong" formulas are used, the demographers/actuaries usually reply that this is not an important issue, because life expectancy at birth is not very sensitive to the way how exactly the life tables are closed. The same "wrong" formulas and related assumptions are often used for graduation (smoothing procedures) of the mortality trajectories at advanced ages. It is extremely important, therefore, to know exactly how a particular life table was closed and/or graduated, before using it for testing of any statistical models. If the Gompertz or the Gompertz-Makeham laws were already introduced into the data by the method of life table construction/graduation, these data would not be useful for statistical hypothesis testing.

    Extractions: Pfizer Inc In 1825, Benjamin Gompertz, a British actuary, observed that after establishment of maturity at about 30 years of age there is a logarithmic increase, a doubling of the "force of mortality" every seven years, at least until the eighth or ninth decade. The Gompertz equation reflects underlying cellular and molecular deterioration that predisposes to disease and death. Now, as we approach the millennium, almost 175 years after the introduction of the Gompertz Curve, growing older is still a natural part of life, but our perspective on aging and mortality has changed. Much of the progress in biomedical research has occurred during the past 50 years, and times have changed since 1980, when former Governor Pierre DuPont (of Delaware) commented that, "Aging is something you can’t do anything about." This workshop is organized to explore up-to-date perspectives of the role of aging in health and disease, with special attention to the Gompertz Curve, including epidemiology, the disorders of longevity, theories of aging, animal models and biomarkers. It brings together experts to discuss recent research and theories regarding aging or senescence as a factor or variable in the predisposition to various pathological conditions and diseases.

    Extractions: Expand Search Joseph Cummings Rowell, 1853-1938 Joseph Cummings Rowell, 1853-1938 His own life at Berkeley during all these years was an open book for anyone to read,a life of unselfish, single-minded devotion to the good of the University in general and to the development of the library in particular. He himself said his life had been prosaic and uneventful, "just a succession of years devoted to the upbuilding of the library." Some 150,000 students and many hundreds of faculty members had seen him at his task during those three score years and more. But comparatively few knew anything of his family background. Yet that background was also unique in kind and interest. And until one has a knowledge of it he cannot see this remarkable librarian foursquare, with full understanding of his singular fortitude, patience, and sweetness, beauty and self-abnegation of character, human sympathy and steadfast rightness and righteousness. For ten years by his own persistent efforts he had accumulated money, information and books and other experience, and piety. He had become profoundly interested in the wandering life and spiritual welfare of sailors. "God seemed to have written 'Sailor' across my heart." He was happy, therefore, to accept a call to go as Chaplain to Panama, under the joint auspices of the American Seamen's Friend Society and the American and Foreign Christian Union. He thought that when the railroad across the isthmus was finished, Panama, at the Pacific terminal, would become an important seaport, and that it ought to have a chaplain interested in sailors. "Panama," he said to his sponsors, "is a pestilential hole, and it will be hard to find a good man to go there. I am tough. I can stand the climate if anyone can. I will go."

32. The Scientist - Aging, In Theory: A Personal Pursuit

    Extractions: Every human being has asked at least once, "Why do we have to age and die?" Leonid Gavrilov and Natalia Tuchnina (now Gavrilova ), decide to really pursue the answer. They first met at a conference in 1975 when they were both fourth-year chemistry students at Moscow State University. Then, seven days after their first date, a smitten Gavrilov proposed, promising he would discover how to stop aging if she would marry him. It is, they suggest, "a promising approach" for developing a comprehensive theory that integrates biological knowledge with systems repair principles and mathematical methods. Since its publication, the Gavrilovs' paper has sparked discussion among those in theoretical biology and others interested in the evolution of aging, garnering comments ranging from "astonishing" to "a useful contribution," as well as "incredibly clever," "robust," "original," "thought-provoking," and "a pointer in the direction of how to understand the aging process." In essence, the Gavrilovs have taken general reliability theory from mathematics

    Extractions: Professor David Kaufman and Dr Max Freudenthal, published in Frankfurt in 1907, in an English translation by Dr Bernard Standring This classic book that traces the genealogy of the Gomperz family is first and foremost a fascinating work of history. The family settled in Germany along the Lower Rhine around the year 1600, and moved on to Berlin, Frankfurt, Metz, Vienna and Prague as well as to Holland, England, and later the United States of America. Today, it would be difficult to find a country that does not have a Gomperz, Gompertz, Gomperts, Gumpertz, Gompers or other variation of the name, descended from the original settlers on the Rhine The book is, in effect, a history of the Jews in Germany in the seventeenth, eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, concentrating on the activities of the court Jews and showing the general attitude of the Electors of Prussia and Saxony and other Royal Houses towards the Jews who were sometimes treated with a modicum of respect and rewarded for their efforts, but equally often thrown into prison on the whim of a prince or through the machinations of members of the court. It highlights the enormous difficulties that the Jews faced to obtain a respected position in society, where medicine was the only career open to them – apart from trade, which was precarious because they were always restricted in the range of trades they were permitted to engage in and were taxed much more heavily that the rest of the population.

    Extractions: Website Grammatron is an experimental multimedia environment developed by artist Mark Amerika in 1997. The nonlinear narrative concerns Abe Golam, an "info-shaman," whose alternate persona is Grammatron, a genderless digital being. Abe's surname alludes to the medieval Jewish legend of the golem, a robotlike servant made of clay and brought to life, who is considered a prototype for man-machine myths from Frankenstein to cyborgs such as the Terminator. Lew Baldwin Website Lew Baldwin launched Redsmoke in 1995 as a vehicle for a fictitious rock band but says it "quickly evolved into a depository for the subconscious." The content includes "Platters," an episodic story begun in 1997 about a man who finds evidence of an escaped "programmed" human worker. The narrative unfolds through textless animation, using Flash, a software program that requires no interaction from the viewer. A soundtrack of electronic music, composed by Baldwin, accompanies the animation, echoing his original concept for the site.

    Extractions: Literature, performance, animation, music, and graphic design all make appearances in the Internet artworks of the 2000 Biennial. Embracing the non-linear quality of the Internet, the nine net art projects chosen for the 2000 Biennial use an entirely new vocabulary of forms and methods, taking advantage of the seemingly random free association of the Internet. These projects balance a mastery of technology with sophisticated visual and conceptual concerns, blurring boundaries between numerous previously distinct disciplines. "Artists have always worked in the vanguard of technical developments, experimenting with photography, film and video at their inceptions, and the same is true for the Internet," said Maxwell L. Anderson, director of the Whitney. "Internet art has reached a critical stage where a significant number of artists are producing works for this new medium. An impressive number of really exciting works have been made, and a substantial critical dialogue has developed that is slowly but surely drawing in mainstream art historians and theorists. As of 2000, Internet art can no longer be ignored as a legitimate art form."
