To assess whether a process, such as the onset of a disease, might indeed be coupled to aging, requires measuring the joint
distribution of lifespan and disease onset to establish at least a correlation between the two.

The distribution of lifespan and growth with latitude might help explain one of the more fundamental patterns in the evolutionary and ecological history of animal life on the planet: the latitudinal diversity gradient.»

Other activities include: producing products that may be recycled at the end
of their
lifespan for material reuse; reducing energy consumption in operations; or even re-engineering
distribution methods as a means
of reducing long - distance travel during product delivery, ultimately reducing fossil fuel consumption (and the disease - causing air pollution that is its byproduct).
Central to the utility design was the installation
of an environmentally sound utility
distribution system with strong fuse - welded HDPE piping (100 + year
lifespan).
A polycrystalline panel, over an expected 30 - year
lifespan, will produce 10 - 20x the amount
of energy that goes into its production (starting with the mining
of the raw silicon dioxide for the cells and the bauxite for the frames, through the final assembly and
distribution).
