FAR-RED LIGHT. "A circadian rhythm in light sensitivity in constant light can be seen when far-red light is added to a background of white fluorescent or red light indicating that the rhythm in light sensitivity continues to run in constant light." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

REDUCED SENSITIVITY. "For long day plants or light-dominant plants the situation is not quite as straightforward. Because sensitivity to night breaks is much reduced, it is very difficult to do night break experiments. Rhythms in response to an night break have been described in the long day plants but the pattern of response varies with the duration of the experimental dark period suggesting an interaction with the subsequent light period." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

SENSITIVE WINDOW. "Light received during the photoinducible phase (dawn or an night break) prevents the short day response. Thus it is easy to think that the circadian rhythm in light sensitivity provides the timing base that allows the length of the dark period to be distinguished by the plant." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

DUSK SIGNAL. "Short day plants often exhibit a qualitative requirement for inductive photoperiods and can frequently be induced to flower in response to a single inductive light–dark cycle. In such plants the circadian rhythm of responsiveness to night breaks is entrained by the dusk signal, so that the photoinducible phase always occurs at about the same time in darkness." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

NIGHT BREAKS. "Responsiveness to night breaks was rhythmic in short day species and oscillated with a period of approximately 24 h. Results obtained with long day plants also supported this model, but suggested that the characteristics of the interaction of light and circadian rhythms were not the same in short day plants and long day plants." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

DECEPTIVE CHAOS. "Viruses, like graffiti, are just as much signal as noise – that they are in fact an irreducible confusion of the two." https://lnkd.in/edrARjk View in LinkedIn

OSCILLATOR ROLE. "In most organisms, effects of light on the clock are mediated by light-induced changes in the level of one of the oscillator components. Plants are unusual in this respect because light affects the oscillator at several levels." https://lnkd.in/d_f7kfY View in LinkedIn

ANTI-VIRAL R&D. "Endlessly revising and debating the burgeoning taxonomy of virus species, nervously policing the boundary between the great unwashed and those trustworthy enough to handle "live" specimens, the world of antivirus research offered its initiates a thrill somewhere between the delightful romance of butterfly collecting and the grim camaraderie of working for the National Security Agency." https://lnkd.in/edrARjk View in LinkedIn

CONSTANT VIRAL ATTACK. "At Arthur J. Gallagher we block over 800,000 email viruses, scams, malware and malicious web sites that pass through our IT systems each month. However these attacks are adapting faster than the systems being developed to prevent them and with over 20,000 employees, we naturally go to great lengths to protect our hardware, software and data." https://lnkd.in/edbTuJc View in LinkedIn

ONCE AN URBAN MYTH. "In the late 1980s and early ‘90s, computer viruses were considered an urban myth. A small number of computer viruses had been written and infection was fairly uncommon. Today, the situation is much different: over 56,000 distinct virus, worm and Trojan horse strains are known!" https://lnkd.in/eV_mmFn View in LinkedIn
