Changes in the photoperiod are a signal for seasonal acclimatization of physiological and immune systems as well as behavioral patterns. The invention of electrical light bulbs created more opportunities for work and leisure. However, exposure to artificial light at night (LAN) affects our biological clock, and suppresses pineal melatonin (MLT) production. Among its other properties, MLT is an antioncogenic agent, and therefore its suppression increases the risks of developing breast and prostate cancers (BC&PC). To the best of our knowledge, this book is the first to address the linkage between light pollution and BC&PC in humans. It explains several state-of-the-art theories, linking light pollution with BC&PC. It also illustrates research hypotheses about health effects of light pollution using the results of animal models and population-based studies. 606 $aBreast$xCancer$xRisk factors 606 $aProstate$xCancer$xRisk factors 615 0$aBreast$xCancer$xRisk factors. 615 0$aProstate$xCancer$xRisk factors. 676 $a616.99449071 700 $aHaim$b Abraham$01059924 701 $aPortnov$b B.

However, research and literature of these lakes concerns by far only the open water season. In particular, no textbook on physics of ice-covered lakes exists, and now it would be a proper time to prepare such. Winter limnology has become an increasing active field of research recently. A series of winter limnology symposia was started in 2008 in Finland with nearly 100 participants. The second symposium was held in Berlin in 2010 and the third one is coming in 2012 in Norway. Winter limnologists need strongly a textbook on lake ice physics since the ice acts as their boundary condition. 410 0$aSpringer Earth System Sciences 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring 606 $aBiotic communities 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aEnvironmental geology 606 $aEnvironmental geology 606 $aAquatic ecology 606 $aEarth System Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G35000 606 $aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U1400X 606 $aEcosystems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L1904X 606 $aGeophysics/Geodesy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18009 606 $aGeoecology/Natural Processes$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U21006 606 $aFreshwater & Marine Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19066 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring. 615 0$aBiotic communities. 615 0$aGeophysics. 615 0$aEnvironmental geology. 615 0$aEnvironmental geology. 615 0$aAquatic ecology. 615 14$aEarth System Sciences. 615 24$aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis. 615 24$aEcosystems. 615 24$aGeophysics/Geodesy. 615 24$aGeoecology/Natural Processes. 615 24$aFreshwater & Marine Ecology. 676 $a551.5/248 700 $aLeppäranta$b Matti$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063256 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299431603321 996 $aFreezing of Lakes and the Evolution of their Ice Cover$92531231 997 $aUNINA
