The Role of Atypical PKC in the Plasticity of the Circadian Clock in the Rat Suprachiasmatic Nucleus
… are actively synchronized by the environmental light. The photic signals are transferred by the excitatory neurotransmitter, glutamate (GLU), via the retinohypothalamic tract from the retina to the SCN. Light/GLU pulses can reset the mammalian circadian clock at specific times: in the early …

Effect of light on the circadian activity rhythm of the slow loris, Nycticebus coucang
… was monitored under an experimentally varied light regime. During the process of reversing their day-night cycle, activity was monitored for a light-dark cycle roughly correlating to the external day-night, a free-running period in total darkness followed by a reversed day- night light …

VIrginia Urban Dynamics Study Using DMSP/OLS Nighttime Imagery
… This study illustrated the use of time series nighttime light (NTL) data from the United States Air Force Defense Meteorological Satellites Program/Operational Linescan System (DMSP/OLS) to delineate urban boundaries and tracked three key urban changes: land cover change, population growth and …

Spring Forward or Fall Back? Redox State as a Determinant in Glutamate Signaling Pathways Adjusting Our Brain Clock
… the master circadian clock in mammals. Nocturnal light, acting via neurotransmitter glutamate, synchronizes this clock to changes in the external environment by adjusting the phase of the SCN. The phase-resetting response depends on the temporal state of the clock: during the early night, …

A Problem on the Feasibility of Rural Digital Economy
… The other data sets include; agricultural yield, night light luminosity, and meteorological data, mobile subscription database, and foretasted data on population based on the observed trend on three recent censuses. A methodological framework is developed by analyzing the integrated database to …

Actin's role in signaling light-induced phase shifts in the mammalian circadian clock
… that changes in actin state contribute to light-induced changes in the state of the circadian clock in the mammalian brain. In early night, the cells of the mammalian circadian clock, in the SCN, initiate a series of signaling events to translate environmental light into transcriptional …

Essays in Development Economics and Political Economy
My thesis, a composition of three essays, addresses issues on the frontier of development economics research. Each essay is presented as a self-contained chapter and follows a format typically encountered in journal articles. The initial pair of chapters delve into the economic ramifications of …

Circadian Disruption by Light at Night: Implications for Mood
… remain synchronized to the environment using light as the most potent entraining cue. During the past century, however, the widespread adoption of electric light has led to `round-the-clock’ societies. Instead of aligning with the environment, individuals follow artificial and often erratic …
