Into the Light: Diurnality has Evolved Multiple Times in Geckos [PDF]

, 2015
Geckos are the only major lizard group consisting mostly of nocturnal species. Nocturnality is presumed to have evolved early in gecko evolution and geckos possess numerous adaptations to functioning in low light and at low temperatures. However, not all

Fresh insights into the light‐induced pineal gland circadian rhythm transmission mechanism derived from mRNA and miRNA profiling

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Mechanisms of light in regulating the chick pineal clock. Abstract The circadian clock significantly impacts animal health and productivity, with light playing a crucial role in regulating circadian rhythms. However, the mechanisms behind light‐induced circadian transmission remain unclear, particularly in light‐sensitive avian species.

Retino-hypothalamic regulation of light-induced murine sleep

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2014
The temporal organization of sleep is regulated by an interaction between the circadian clock and homeostatic processes. Light indirectly modulates sleep through its ability to phase shift and entrain the circadian clock.

Nucleophilic Fluorination of a Secondary Alkyl Bromide with KF(18‐Crown‐6) and Bulky Diols: Microsolvation Causes Chemoselectivity Inversion in the Free Energy Profile

ChemPlusChem, Accepted Article.
Fluoride ion solvated in polar aprotic solvents works like bases and reacts with secondary alkyl bromide substrates mainly via E2 reactions, with minor formation of SN2 fluorination products. The use of KF combined with crown ether increases the SN2 yield. However, secondary substrates remain a challenge for nucleophilic fluorination.

Does moonlight increase predation risk? Meta-analysis reveals divergent responses of nocturnal mammals to lunar cycles.

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2014
The risk of predation strongly affects mammalian population dynamics and community interactions. Bright moonlight is widely believed to increase predation risk for nocturnal mammals by increasing the ability of predators to detect prey, but the potential

Confirmation of Fixed Quarterly Riliprubart Regimen in Patients with Cold Agglutinin Disease Using Population PK/PD and Exposure‐Response Analyses

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Riliprubart is a second‐generation, humanized immunoglobulin G4 that inhibits only the activated form of the C1s component of the proximal classical complement pathway. The clinical studies of riliprubart conducted thus far for the treatment of cold agglutinin disease (CAD), a rare autoimmune disease, include a Phase 1 first‐in‐human study in healthy ...

The acoustic environment of intensive care wards based on long period nocturnal measurements

Noise and Health, 2012
The patients in the Intensive Care Units are often exposed to excessive levels of noise and activities. They can suffer from sleep disturbance, especially at night, but they are often too ill to cope with the poor environment.
