Biological Clocks: Who in This Place Set Up a Sundial?
نویسنده
چکیده
How do circadian rhythms, alarm clocks and the light/dark cycle interact? The concept of social jetlag is informing our appreciation of the tensions and consequences of imposing an artificial temporal order upon our biology.

Sundials and Mathematical Surfaces
The ancient art of sundial designing and making has produced an astonishing variety of designs, many of them ingenious and works of art. The history and a fair sample of various designs can be found in [Ro] or [Pe,Sch,SP]. The principles of working are in many cases forgotten and understood only by a very tedious reverse-engineering, often made much more difficult by wellmeant but incompetent r...

متن کاملSundial: Using Sunlight to Reconstruct Global Timestamps
This paper investigates postmortem timestamp reconstruction in environmental monitoring networks. In the absence of a timesynchronization protocol, these networks use multiple pairs of (local, global) timestamps to retroactively estimate the motes’ clock drift and offset and thus reconstruct the measurement time series. We present Sundial, a novel offline algorithm for reconstructing global tim...
متن کاملEffects of Lycium barbarum. polysaccharide on type 2 diabetes mellitus rats by regulating biological rhythms
Objective(s): Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with circadian disruption. Our previous experimental results have showed that dietary Lycium barbarum. polysaccharide (LBP-4a) exhibited hypoglycemic and improving insulin resistance (IR) activities. This study was to explore the mechanisms of LBP-4a for improving hyperglycemia and IR by regulating biological rhythms in T2DM rats. Mat...
متن کاملCircadian Clocks and Metabolism: The Nutrient-Sensing AKT and TOR Pathways Make the Link
How do organisms sense metabolic and nutrient status to set their biological clocks? The significance of recent work showing that nutrient-sensing pathways influence central circadian clocks in Drosophila is discussed.
