Sleep: How Many Switches Does It Take To Turn Off the Lights?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sleeping animals do not move or feed and are less responsive. In Caenorhabditis elegans, a single neuron triggers sleep. A recent study shows that the neuron releases several neuropeptides - each with distinct sleep behavioral effects - to promote the collection of behaviors that is sleep.

Cut-off Sampling Design: Take all, Take Some, and Take None
Extended Abstract. Sampling is the process of selecting units (e.g., people, organizations) from a population of interest so that by studying the sample we may fairly generalize our results back to the population from which they were chosen. To draw a sample from the underlying population, a variety of sampling methods can be employed, individually or in combination. Cut-off sampling is a pr...
متن کاملAutomatic Street Light Control System
Automatic Street Light Control System is not only easiest but also the powerful technique. Relay uses as a automatic switchin this system. It releases the manual work atmost upto 100% . As soon as the sunlight goes under the visible region of our eyes this system automatically switches ON lights. Light Dependant Resistor (LDR )is a type of sensor which actually does this work and senses the lig...
متن کاملMaximization Versions of “Lights Out” Games in Grids and Graphs
Complexity results and algorithms are given for the problem of maximizing the number of off vertices (switches) in graphs and m×n rectangular grids. When a switch is toggled, it and its neighbors change state. It is shown that the problem is NP-complete in graphs and a simple approximation algorithm is given as well as a nonapproximability result. Fixed-parameter problems are studied in grids a...
متن کاملLet there be no light: the effect of bedside light on sleep quality and background electroencephalographic rhythms.
OBJECTIVES Artificial lighting has been beneficial to society, but unnecessary light exposure at night may cause various health problems. We aimed to investigate how whole-night bedside light can affect sleep quality and brain activity. PATIENTS AND METHODS Ten healthy sleepers underwent two polysomnography (PSG) sessions, one with the lights off and one with the lights on. PSG variables rela...
متن کامل5.1 Unbalancing Lights
Consider a square n× n array of lights (see Figure 5.1). There is one switch corresponding to each row and each column (i.e., 2n switches). Throwing a switch changes the state of all the lights in the corresponding row or column. We now consider the problem of setting the switches so as to maximize the number of lights that are on, starting from an arbitrary initial on/off configuration of the ...
