It also discusses significant aspects of the organization and importance of timekeeping mechanisms in both groups. Divided into seven sections, it addresses important aspects including fundamental concepts; animal and human clocks; clock interactions; clocks and metabolism and immune functions; pineal, melatonin and timekeeping; and clocks, photoperiodism and seasonal behaviours. The book also focuses on biological clock applications in a 24x7 human society, particularly in connection with life-style associated disorders like obesity and diabetes. It is a valuable resource for advanced undergraduates, researchers and professionals engaged in the study of the science of biological timekeeping. 606 $aNeurobiology 606 $aNeurosciences 606 $aPhysiology 606 $aBehavioral sciences 606 $aOccupational therapy 606 $aNeurobiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25066 606 $aNeurosciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B18006 606 $aAnimal Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33030 606 $aBehavioral Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L13009 606 $aOccupational Therapy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H77000 615 0$aNeurobiology. 615 0$aNeurosciences. 615 0$aPhysiology. 615 0$aBehavioral sciences. 615 0$aOccupational therapy. 615 14$aNeurobiology. 615 24$aNeurosciences. 615 24$aAnimal Physiology. 615 24$aBehavioral Sciences. 615 24$aOccupational Therapy. 676 $a573.8 702 $aKumar$b Vinod$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910165143003321 996 $aBiological Timekeeping: Clocks, Rhythms and Behaviour$92264706 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03482nam 22006375 450 001 9910299493703321 005 20251230061135.0 010 $a9783319029139 010 $a3319029134 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-02913-9 035 $a(OCoLC)878921272 035 $a(MiFhGG)GVRL6YLW 035 $a(CKB)3710000000074626 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1592379 035 $a(MiFhGG)9783319029139 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-02913-9 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000074626 100 $a20131116d2014 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun|---uuuua 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe 15th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering $eICBME 2013, 4th to 7th December 2013, Singapore /$fedited by James Goh 205 $a1st ed. 2014. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2014. 215 $a1 online resource (xxxii, 968 pages) $cillustrations (chiefly color) 225 1 $aIFMBE Proceedings,$x1433-9277 ;$v43 300 $a"ISSN: 1680-0737." 300 $a"ISSN: 1433-9277 (electronic)." 311 08$a9783319029122 311 08$a3319029126 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aBioimaging and Biosignals -- Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering -- Biomechanics and Computational Bioengineering -- Biomedical Devices and Biomedical Instrumentation -- Biomedical Robotics and Surgical Technology -- Neuroengineering and Rehabilitation Engineering -- Special Topics. 330 $aThis volume presents the proceedings of the 15th ICMBE held from 4th to 7th December 2013, Singapore. Biomedical engineering is applied in most aspects of our healthcare ecosystem. From electronic health records to diagnostic tools to therapeutic, rehabilitative and regenerative treatments, the work of biomedical engineers is evident. Biomedical engineers work at the intersection of engineering, life sciences and healthcare. The engineers would use principles from applied science including mechanical, electrical, chemical and computer engineering together with physical sciences including physics, chemistry and mathematics to apply them to biology and medicine. Applying such concepts to the human body is very much the same concepts that go into building and programming a machine. The goal is to better understand, replace or fix a target system to ultimately improve the quality of healthcare. With this understanding, the conference proceedings offer a single platform for individuals and organisations working in the biomedical engineering related field to gather and network with each other in so doing create the catalyst for future development of biomedical engineering in Asia. 410 0$aIFMBE Proceedings,$x1433-9277 ;$v43 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aBiomaterials 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering 606 $aBiomaterials 606 $aBiophysics 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 0$aBiomaterials. 615 0$aBiophysics. 615 14$aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering. 615 24$aBiomaterials. 615 24$aBiophysics. 676 $a610.28 702 $aGoh$b J.
