Likewise, experimental models that lead to a marked disruption of clock synchrony, such as constant light, and repetitive shifting of the light-dark cycle, have been shown to accelerate tumor growth and, relatedly, increase mortality rates [ 30- 32].
Only the shifting of the light at evening suggests the changing season.
Conversely, during the subjective night, extensive changes in transcripts correlated with the large phase shifting effect of light, suggesting that changes in multiple pathways accompany the shift in the phase of the SCN oscillator network.
Yves Godin's lighting design washes the stage with shifting pools of light and shadow.
Behind them, a bank of panels glows with shifting shades of light, suggesting morphing weather patterns.
Interior lights in buildings flicking on and off create a shifting checkerboard of light across the walls of windows and suggest many stories of the people inside.
Nine-foot-long skylights slice through some of the vaulted ceilings, filling the interiors with shifting streams of light, but the building itself is relatively unchanged.
The strength of his vision was rooted in a desire to reconnect architecture to the physical world — the shifting nature of light, the reflective surfaces of water, the texture of materials — and an atavistic love of craft.
The baby dozes in her pushchair, and later lies on a blanket blinking up into the tree, responding with little jerks of her arms and legs to the shifting patterns of light.
The metaphors flow, some beautifully -- The Arctic's continuously shifting planes of light and dark were like knives thrown in a drawer" -- and some alarmingly: a rock formation resembles "fluted vaginas cut in half by ice".
