Bio-rhythms / Digi-rhythms: Synthesising the Digitally Mediated Body Through Performative Methodologies
… devices increasingly permeate our lives, the ‘biorhythms’ of embodied experience are arguably given less cultural significance. This research proposes the development of a subjective negotiation of the body, through performative and embodied aesthetic research methodologies, which will develop a …

Preferences in Musical Rhythms and Implementation of Analytical Results to Generate Rhythms
… are implemented to generate similar types of rhythms. Finally, a software platform to facilitate such an analysis is developed – it is the first of its kind available to our best knowledge as this research field has only recently emerged.

The Rhythms of Our Bones
Grief is universal. It permeates all things. This collection is organized into four sections, each concerned with such universality, such permeability, and how the “small,” personal griefs of human relationships echo and form dialogues with the larger, more global griefs of war and violence. …

Urban Rhythms of Washington DC
How can architecture serve as a catalyst to strengthen a transitioning neighborhood without displacing or replacing the local community? Cities bear the weight of continual change. Across the United States, urban communities wrestle the boundary between the desires of gentrification and concerns …

Biological rhythms in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
… our results show that Ae. aegypti behavioral rhythms mediated by rhythmic gene expression are plastic and susceptible to external host cues and host blood digestion. This work can be leveraged for future studies investigating mosquito host-seeking and blood digestion to identify novel targets …

Cerebellar Coordination of Neuronal and Behavioral Rhythms
… loss of cerebellar function affects respiratory rhythms and the interactions of local field potential (LFP) oscillations between the lobulus simplex (LS) in the cerebellum, medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and dorsal CA1 (dCA1) using multisite in vivo extracellular recordings in freely moving …

Brain Rhythms in Object Recognition and Manipulation
… patterns of mu and beta rhythms. Second, action competitions originate from both perceptuo-motor and memory systems. Third, accessing to semantic object knowledge during object processing could be indexed by the bursts of desynchronization of high-beta oscillations in the …

Rhythms of Change: the Washington Waldorf School
Juhani Pallasmaa writes, "We have the mental need to experience the reality that we are rooted in the continuity of time and in the man-made world, it is the task of architecture to facilitate this experience." (Eyes of the Skin: Architecture and the Senses, p. 22) It is the intent of this thesis …

The effects of circadian rhythms on visual thresholds
The possibility that visual thresholds fluctuate in a circadian rhythmic (twenty-four hour) pattern was examined. Subjects were tested at 0400h, 1000h, 1600h and 2200h in a 30 minute dark adaptation procedure using a von Békésy tracking method. Two experiments were performed; the first tested cone …

Mathematical Modeling of Circadian Rhythms in Drosophila melanogaster
Circadian rhythms are periodic physiological cycles that recur about every 24 hours, by means of which organisms integrate their physiology and behavior to the daily cycle of light and temperature imposed by the rotation of the earth. Circadian derives from the Latin word circa "about" and dies …

Bright light therapy and the circadian rhythms : the effects of bright light therapy on the circadian rhythms in healthy young adults
Research has shown that a destabilized circadian rhythms (CR) can result in sleep disturbances as well as increasing the likelihood of developing anxiety symptoms. A stable circadian rhythm is therefore important to the individual’s long term physical and mental health. Bright light therapy (BLT) …

Diverse Voices of Leadership: Different Rhythms and Emerging Harmonies
In our current research literature leaders have been identified through traditional sampling techniques; techniques in which individuals are selected by positions, reputation, and organizational success. The background assumptions for these techniques include that of leadership as a top-down …

Alternative Scheduling in the Middle School: Considering Circadian Rhythms.
<p>The passage of No Child Left Behind has increased the level of accountability for all educators. There are many factors that affect student achievement. One factor that may be overlooked is the schedule configuration of schools. Addressing student needs through scheduling options may assist …

Rhythms, feeding and respiration of the oyster Crassostrea gigas
Endogeneity of valve movement rhythms was demonstrated for the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas under constant conditions of temperature, light, salinity, water level and food availability. Rhythms continued for up to 6 weeks until the experiments were terminated. The rhythms showed a high degree …

Rhythms of Power: Royal Drumming in Aburi -Akuapem, Ghana
Chapter I provides the historical and ethnographic background needed to understand the array of forces that have shaped court music and the chieftaincy in Akuapem since the late 19th century. Chapter II presents an overview of musical activity in Aburi and explains the mechanics of Akan speech …

Disturbing rhythms: James, Merleau-Ponty, music, and self-transformation
One often interprets one’s selfhood in a Cartesian way. That is, the everyday self is a clearly demarcated individual that is separate from others and from the world around it (including, to a large extent, its own body). Although this is the most common understanding of one’s ipseity, there are …

Patterns in the project managers’ rhythms, habits, routines and rituals
This paper explores rhythms and patterns in the project manager's habits, routines and rituals. The research question is as follows: What rhythms, habits, routines and rituals do project managers have? And what patterns can we find in them? Qualitative research methods based on grounded theory were …

Circadian rhythms in Lhc gene expression in pharbitis nil chois
The steady state mRNA levels of Lhc genes in Pharbitis nil were investigated using the wheat Lhcbl *1 (cabi) gene as a heterologous probe. A circadian rhythm in P. nil Lhc gene expression was detected in constant light. This rhythm was initiated or reset to a constant phase by the initial light-on …
