Sentence examples for circadian unit from inspiring English sources

In nocturnal organisms and constant darkness conditions (DD), one circadian unit usually is less than 1 hour because the internal rhythm of these animals is typically shorter than 24 hours.

One circadian cycle is divided into 24 equally sized circadian units (or circadian hours) with one unit being defined as the division of the internal period length by 24 hours.

Therefore, time cannot be expressed in ZT but is expressed in circadian time (CT) units.

We would therefore conclude that the circadian clock as a functional unit (module) does not provide the essential clockworks for photoperiodic time measurement in R. pedestris.

An hour is used as the unit in the circadian rhythm of an agent, with 24 genes – one for each hour of a day – that determine the action of the agent at any given time in the 24-hour cycle.

Similarly, in WT mice maintained in DD for 2 weeks, the SCN displayed circadian oscillation of the multi-unit activity with a similar peak phase among the different electrodes examined.

However, intensive care unit patients have disrupted circadian rhythms.

The necessity of tightly linked temporal and spatial structures for the existence of a high‐amplitude robust circadian rhythm indicates functional spatially contiguous units within the SCN that play a central role at specific points in the cycle.

A team of Vanderbilt University researchers considered the possibility that constant artificial light exposure in neonatal intensive care units could impair the developing circadian rhythm of premature babies.

Elizabeth Klerman is the head of the Analytic and Modeling Unit, also in the Sleep and Circadian Disorders division at Brigham and Women's Hospital.

CS is a transformation of CLA into relative units, from 0 (the threshold for circadian system activation) to 0.7 (response saturation), and is directly proportional to nocturnal melatonin suppression after 1-hour exposure (0%–70%).
