abstract   background: irregular working hours, including night work and shift work, have been found to be associated with alteration in various levels of biochemical factors. and some studies have showed association between shift work and blood biochemical disturbances in blood. in this epidemiological study we investigated, whether regular schedule of working hours can minimize the associated...

We propose a new method to produce selfand cross-Kerr photonic nonlinearities, using light-induced Stark shifts due to the interaction of a cavity mode with atoms. The proposed experimental set-up is simpler than in previous approaches, while the strength of the nonlinearity obtained with a single atom is the same as in the setting based on electromagnetically induced transparency. Furthermore ...

Background: An association between spontaneous abortions and shift work has been suggested, but present research results are conflicting. The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between spontaneous abortions among nurses, shift schedules, and nights worked. Methods: This is a longitudinal study where we identified 914 females from a cohort of nurses in Norway who had worked the sam...
