    Notes: Human life expectancy has increased dramatically through improvements in public health, housing, nutrition and general living standards. Lifespan is now limited chiefly by intrinsic senescence and its associated frailty and diseases. Understanding the biological basis of the ageing process is a major scientific challenge that will require integration of molecular, cellular, genetic and physiological approaches. This article reviews progress that has been made to date, particularly with regard to the genetic contribution to senescence and longevity, and assesses the scale of the task that remains.

    Description: Model calculation of inhomogenuous magnetized neutron star atmospheres are used to analyze the phase-dependent spectra of 4U 1538-52 and Vela X-1 taking into account general relativistic effects. A chi (exp 2) fitting procedure is used on the Ginga data for these objects to determine the geometry and the magnetic structure of the polar caps, as well as their size and location on the surface of the stars. Other parameters determined by the fit are the masses and radii of neutron stars, the accretion rates, and the rotation and magnetic inclination angles including an azimuthal offset to reproduce the asymmetry of the pulse shapes. We find that general relativistic effects play a significant role in determining the derived cap sizes, the fluxes, and the observational appearance of the pulses. There is evidence that the polar caps are unequal and nonantipodal, suggesting either an off-center or bent magnetic axis, or a strong nondipole component. The magnetic field structure is approximated by a two-component model. The rotation axes are inferred to be moderately close to the mean magnetic axes and seen at large inclinations with respect to the line of sight.
