Article Abstract
The effects of an eight-year natural aging of ASC impregnated activated carbon on the adsorption capacity and breakthrough times of model organic vapors and of the nerve agent sarin were investigated. Aging delayed methanol breakthrough from dry air on pre-dried carbon, but shortened the breakthrough time of both methanol and hexane under relative humidity (RH) of 30-85% on pre-humidified carbon. Aging also shortened the breakthrough time of the less volatile model compound 2-methoxyethanol, especially under RH of 60-85%. Aging significantly reduced the protection capacity against sarin at RH of 85%. The effects of aging on physisorption are attributed to enhanced hydrogen-bonding capability and strength of the interaction between water and adsorption sites on the carbon surface.

Objective: The objective of the present work is to: (1) describe the trends in obesity among premenopausal and postmenopausal women in the United States between 1999 and 2018, and (2) describe the effect of aging on body mass index in women, using novel BMI-for-age percentile curves.
Methods: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) collected between 1999 and 2018, including self-identified female participants older than 20 years, was used. Menopause status was self-reported, and body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) was calculated based on measured height and weight.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship between vaginal aging and sexual quality of life in postmenopausal women.
Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 210 postmenopausal women aged 45 to 59 years. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Daily Effects of Vaginal Aging Scale, and the Sexual Quality of Life Scale.

Polyamines (PAs), including spermidine, spermine and their precursor, putrescine, are ubiquitous molecules that are vital for a variety of physiological processes. Recently, PAs gained research attention because of their roles in promoting longevity and preventing age-related diseases. Circulating and tissue levels of PAs appear to decline with age, while higher intake of PAs in humans is correlated with better health during aging.

Sulfidized zero-valent iron (S-ZVI) holds promise in the remediation of chlorinated hydrocarbons. However, S-ZVI is susceptible to corrosion in aquifers with elevated dissolved oxygen (DO) levels. This study demonstrates, for the first time, that a trade-off between the passivation and oxidative corrosion of aged S-ZVI can be achieved in the presence of silicate to promote its dechlorination performance on trichloroethylene.

Objective: Emotional aging research has been dominated by the idea of age-related improvements in emotional experience. However, current mixed empirical findings call for a more differentiated, context-dependent approach. It has been proposed that age-related improvements in emotional experience are present in benign contexts and when age-related gains (e.
