Mapping the Melatonin Suppression, Star Light and Induced Photosynthesis Indices with the LANcube
Remote Sensing, 2020 Increased exposure to artificial light at night can affect human health including disruption of melatonin production and circadian rhythms which can extend to increased risks of hormonal cancers and other serious diseases.

Neurobiology of Sleep and Circadian Rhythms, 2021 A better understanding of the spatial sensitivity of the human circadian system to photic stimulation can provide practical solutions for optimized circadian light exposures. Two psychophysical experiments, involving 25 adult participants in Experiment 1

Beyond CCT: The spectral index system as a tool for the objective, quantitative characterization of lamps [PDF]
, 2017 Correlated color temperature (CCT) is a semi-quantitative system that roughly describes the spectra of lamps. This parameter gives the temperature (measured in kelvins) of the black body that would show the hue more similar to that of the light emitted ...

Associations of Sleep and Shift Work With Osteoarthritis Risk
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Daily rhythms may be critical for maintaining homeostasis of joint tissues. We aimed to investigate the relationships among circadian clock disruption, sleep, and osteoarthritis (OA) risk in humans. Methods In the UK Biobank, a prospective 500,000–person cohort, we evaluated associations among sleep duration, sleeplessness/insomnia, and shift

Light-at-night, cancer and aging
Aging, 2010 Recently, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded that "shift-work that involves circadian disruption is probably carcinogenic to humans" [1]. This conclusion was based upon limited evidence in humans [2,3] and sufficient evidence in experimental animals [4,5]. The current experimental results of Vinogradova and colleagues from

The Effects of Light at Night on Circadian Clocks and Metabolism [PDF]
Endocrine Reviews, 2014 Most organisms display endogenously produced ∼ 24-hour fluctuations in physiology and behavior, termed circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are driven by a transcriptional-translational feedback loop that is hierarchically expressed throughout the brain and body, with the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus serving as the master circadian ...
