The influence of aging on muscle quality, muscle size, and isokinetic strength in the plantarflexor muscles
Aging often results in numerous physiological changes that result in reductions in maximal strength. Few previous studies have examined the influence aging on muscle size and quality and its impact on dynamic strength measures in the plantarflexor muscles. The primary purpose of this study was to examine the influence of aging on medial gastrocnemius muscle cross-sectional area (CSA), echo intensity (EI), and isokinetic plantarflexion strength. Twenty young (20±2 years) and 10 older (68±3 years) men volunteered for this study. Our results demonstrated that older adults produced (21 and 23 %) less torque (P<0.05) at 30 and 120°. s-1 , respectively. In addition, there were no age-related reductions in muscle CSA (P=0.166), but an increase in EI (P=0.015) in the older adults. These findings suggest that the age-related reductions in isokinetic strength are a result of decreases in muscle quality (i.e. increase in connective/adipose tissue) rather than decreases in muscle size in older men.

Dconstructing architecture: Rebulding Detroit with salvaged and harvested materials
Cites are in a constant state of flux. The progression of time through the centuries has yielded numerous examples of entire transformations of a given city's economic, environmental, social, and cultural structures which in turn shape the physical city. In some instances those structures are allowed juxtapose themselves against each other creating a beautiful palimpsest. In other instances those layers are lost due to the changing forces of the city. As a result the narrative and the image of the city is lost. Where this is most applicable is in the context of shrinking cities. This thesis proposal will seek to explore ways in which the retention of a city's physical history and its memory can be reconciled within the context of a shrinking city. It will question, challenge and hopefully transcend current themes in historic preservation and adaptive-use taking a critical approach toward structures and systems that have lost their reason for being. The testing ground for this proposal is Detroit, Michigan.
