pt. B ISBN 9780471568025

Description

Reviews the current state of knowledge on chronobiology, with reference to sleep patterns, gastro-intestinal rhythms and nutrition, cellular and molecular mechanisms, athletic performance, agricultural implications and many other topics.

Table of Contents

  • Part 1 Behaviour: co-variance of daylight, sport participation, and sleep patterns. Part 2 Gastro-intestinal rhythms and nutrition: circadian periodicity of the time of onset of acute lower gastro-intestinal bleeding. Part 3 Cellular and molecular mechanisms: are tidal rhythms ultradian, circadian or infradian?. Part 4 Chronobiology in the work place and in sports: can athletic performance be statistically predicted?
  • a follow-up study
  • instrumentation and methods
  • day-night variation of normal number of computed tomography at several areas in the human brain
  • computation and quantification
