Explaining features of fine-grained phenomena using abstract analyses of phenomena and mechanisms: two examples from chronobiology [PDF]
Synthese, 2017 Explanations of biological phenomena such as cell division, protein synthesis or circadian rhythms commonly take the form of models of the responsible mechanisms. Recently philosophers of science have attempted to analyze this practice, presenting mechanisms as organized collections of parts performing operations that together produce the phenomenon ...

Chronobiology Meets Quantum Biology: A New Paradigm Overlooking the Horizon? [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Biological processes and physiological functions in living beings are featured by oscillations with a period of about 24 h (circadian) or cycle at the second and third harmonic (ultradian) of the basic frequency, driven by the biological clock.

One interesting and elusive two-coupled oscillator problem [PDF]
Neurobiology of Sleep and Circadian RhythmsChronobiology experiments often reveal intriguing non-linear phenomena, which require mathematical models and computer simulations for their interpretation. One example is shown here, where the two circadian oscillators located in the eyes of the mollusk

Chronothyroidology: Chronobiological Aspects in Thyroid Function and Diseases
Life, 2021 Chronobiology is the scientific discipline which considers biological phenomena in relation to time, which assumes itself biological identity. Many physiological processes are cyclically regulated by intrinsic clocks and many pathological events show a ...

A non-parametric model: free analysis of actigraphic recordings of acute insomnia patients
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Both parametric and non-parametric approaches to time-series analysis have advantages and drawbacks. Parametric methods, although powerful and widely used, can yield inconsistent results due to the oversimplification of the observed phenomena.
