But Covic has always prided himself on his focus and mentality which, as well as good luck ("I can't recall the last game I missed through injury"), helps explain the longevity of his career and his success as a goalkeeper.
The same spiral movements and deep, conscious relaxation that help everyday folks beat back the degenerative effects of aging by moving blood, lymph, and energy through the solid matrix of the body also help the surfer move through the water, contributing to the longevity of a surfer's career just as surely as it prolongs an active life for those of us on dry land.
Here, we show that natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster harbor a Hoppel transposon insertion variant in the longevity gene Indy (I'm not dead yet), which confers both increased reproduction and longevity through metabolic changes.
The limiting factor in obtaining high yields was most likely the ability to sustain viability in the culture throughout the fermentation cycle, through extended longevity of the cells or anaerobic growth.
Perhaps no one can speak to this matter with greater authority than Mr. Mann, who through his longevity and the force of his leadership, seemed to embody the Juilliard String Quartet until his retirement in 1997.
The substance came to light through studies of longevity, particularly the discovery that reduced-calorie diets could lengthen the lifespan of mice by 30 percent.
Two-thirds of the NBS-encoding genes under selection were associated with domestication rather than improvement which may have been influenced by the perennial nature of the wild relatives of sorghum, in contrast to the annual life-cycle of the majority of cultivated types, through increased plant longevity in the face of constant selection pressure for disease resistance.
This revealed that most single gene RNAi knockdowns have relatively small effects on longevity, leading to the conclusion that DAF-16/FoxO promotes longevity through the cumulative regulation of hundreds of genes (Murphy et al. 2003).
The Oliviers – to be held next April at the Royal Opera House – are regarded as the main event when it comes to UK theatre awards but the Evening Standard awards hold an important place in the calendar, not least through longevity, with Sunday night's ceremony being the 57th.
