Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we eat may be as important as what we eat. Like most people, you probably wake up, get hungry for meals and doze off in bed around the same time every day. If you’ve ever experienced jet lag or pulled an all-nighter, you know that this schedule can easily be thrown off kilter. But for some people, that imbalance—difficulty sleeping at night, hunger at odd times, or sudden fatigue at noon—is a constant. If you're one of those people, Dr. Satchin Panda, one of the leading researchers on circadian rhythms, has a plan to reset your body clock. Beginning with an in-depth explanation of the circadian clock—why it’s important, how it works, and how to know it isn’t working—The Circadian Code outlines lifestyle changes to make to get back on track. It's a concrete plan to enhance weight loss, improve sleep, optimize exercise, and manage technology so that it doesn’t interfere with your body’s natural rhythm. Dr. Panda’s life changing methods show you how to prevent and reverse ailments like diabetes, cancer, and dementia, as well as microbiome conditions like acid reflux, heartburn, and irritable bowel disease.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses multiple aspects of biological clocks in prokaryotes. The first part of the book deals with the circadian clock system in cyanobacteria, i.e. the pioneer of bacterial clocks. Starting with the history and background of cyanobacteria and circadian rhythms in microorganisms, the topics range from the molecular basis, structure and evolution of the circadian clock to modelling approaches, Kai systems in cyanobacteria and biotechnological applications. In the second part, emergent timekeeping properties of bacteria in microbiomes and bacteria other than cyanobacteria are discussed. Since the discovery of circadian rhythms in cyanobacteria in the late 1980s, the field has exploded with new information. The cyanobacterial model system for studying circadian rhythms (Synechococcus elongatus), has allowed a detailed genetic dissection of the bacterial clock due to state-of-the-art methods in molecular, structural, and evolutionary biology. Cutting-edge research spanning from cyanobacteria and circadian phenomena in other kinds of bacteria, to microbiomes has now given the field another major boost. This book is aimed at junior and senior researchers alike. Students or researchers new to the field of biological clocks in prokaryotes will get a comprehensive overview, while more experienced researchers will get an update on the latest developments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Circadian clocks are endogenous and temperature-compensating timekeepers that provide temporal organization of biological processes in living organisms. Circadian rhythms allow living organisms to adapt to the daily light cycles associated with Earth's rotation and to anticipate and prepare for precise and regular environmental changes. This book discusses the fundamental advances of how the circadian clock regulates critical biological functions as well as the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling circadian rhythm in living organisms. It also provides new insights into and sheds new light on the current research trends and future research directions related to circadian rhythm. This book provokes interest in many readers, researchers and scientists, who can find this information useful for the advancement of their research works towards a better understanding of circadian rhythm regulatory mechanisms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Circadian Rhythms and the Human covers the basic principles behind the human circadian rhythms. This book is composed of 12 chapters that discuss the detection, analysis, and definition of rhythms, specifically exogenous and endogenous rhythms. This book also demonstrates the mechanism of metabolic and gastrointestinal rhythms. The opening chapters deal with the rhythms in living organism; establishing the endogeneity of rhythms; definition of nychthemeral rhythm; methods of measuring the frequency of rhythms; exogenous effects upon the temperature rhythm; interaction between exogenous and endogenous influences; and possible origins of renal rhythmicity. The succeeding chapters consider the effect of exercise at different times of day and the concept of sleep-wakefulness rhythm. The discussion then shifts to the effects of repeated time-zone transitions and the effects of time on drug administration. The closing chapters are devoted to the assessment of work performance during shift work. The book can provide useful information to doctors, students, researchers, and the general reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Circadian rhythm is the mechanism for measuring time by organisms in units of around 24 hours. Almost every organism has the ability to predict daily events such as sunrise and sunset, which is essential for their optimal survival strategies. Circadian rhythms persist even in the absence of time cues and ensure that behavioral, physiological and metabolic processes align with changing environmental conditions. Most organisms, irrespective of whether they are prokaryotic or eukaryotic, have evolved certain mechanisms to sense their external environment in order to prepare a biological response. Often, these biological responses result in changes in physiology and biochemistry of organisms for the optimization of their survival. There is no unified mechanism among organisms by which sensory environment can be applied to control their lifespan. In humans, disruptions of the circadian rhythm may have an increased risk of age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as cancer, diabetes, etc. This book encompasses the most recent knowledge and modern trends in the field of circadian rhythms research. It is also expected to provide a must-read guide for beginners as well as advanced researchers in this field of study. Undergraduate, post-graduate and research scholars of several disciplines such as chemistry, botany, microbiology, biochemistry, biotechnology, bioinformatics, life sciences and bionanotechnology will benefit from this book"--

Book excerpt: This is a collection of poetry by Heidi L. Klotzman, an award-winning CEO based in Baltimore, Maryland. In 2005, she founded HeidnSeek Entertainment, a company recognized for its excellence in marketing businesses and special events and booking live music and DJ talent. Raised in a musical household, Klotzman's first love was music, but writing was a close second. Her mom read to her frequently, and she learned to express her thoughts, feelings, and creativity through poetry. She accumulated hundreds of poems over the years. Her biggest writing influences were song lyrics from various genres, hip-hop, and poets: Carl Hancock Rux and Paul Beatty. She has performed her poetry at her alma maters, Roland Park Country School (RPCS), Eugene Lang Writing Seminar College, and Goucher College, as well as at special events in Baltimore and New York. When she graduated RPCS, she was named "The Poetic Soul of the School," by the then head of school. Klotzman thanks God, her parents, grandparents, teachers, classmates, editors, and friends for encouraging her to express herself in writing. This book is her journey across love, loss, growth, and acceptance through poetry. She hopes that she can reach others the way that poets have reached her.
