"Continued high attrition increases the overall cost of sustaining the force and creates a burden on recruiting and training structures".
According to ABI's report, Women Technologists Count, 52% of women entering science and technology careers left private companies over time – and attrition increased markedly at the mid-career point.
Telomere attrition increases with oxidative stress and is considered a biomarker of ageing.
Attrition during fluidization liberated small TiO2 particles from the bulk catalyst and the rate of attrition increased with gas velocity.
The contribution of jet attrition increases rapidly with increasing the gas velocity, and the fast increase in the jet attrition rate is the major cause of the increasingly serious catalyst attrition with increasing the gas velocity.
China also faces similar problems of India like attrition, increasing wages and lack of experienced managers and technical leads, according to the report, authored by John McCarthy.
We have recently developed a human stem cell model by homozygous depletion of the exons 15 and 16 of WRN alleles, which recapitulates the major cellular defects of WS, including accelerated senescence, growth arrest, telomere attrition, increased DNA damage response, excessive production of inflammatory factors, as well as increased stem cell attrition in the in vivo niche (Zhang et al., 2015).
Finally, we found evidence that more rapid telomere attrition increases mortality risk, although this trend was not significant.
Experimental tests are still needed, however, to distinguish whether infectious diseases actually cause telomere attrition or whether telomere attrition increases susceptibility to infection.
The aim of our study was to test whether repeated exposure to an infectious agent, known to cause inflammation and oxidative stress, results in telomere attrition, and whether more rapid telomere attrition increases mortality.
