Clocks

Background: The biological clock is an endogenous mechanism that regulates the physiological activities of an organism. It was not until recently that much of the intricate molecular mechanisms or genes controlling the circadian rhythm were elucidated, with this years Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine granted to three scientist for their contributions to the field. The Period or the PER gene was identified by Ronald Konopka and Seymour Benzer at CalTech as one of the primary clock genes…

Clock signifies competing customer perceived value against price. Strategy clock shows different situations in the market where it is focused on market rather than the generic strategies and where customers have a lot of requirements so it focused on prices to customers as well. According to…

In W. H. Auden’s poem “Stop All the Clocks” the speaker’s nihilistic views after the death of his lover are expressed in Stanzas One and Four. In the first stanza, the speaker uses the muffling of sounds as a metaphor for his detachment from reality after his lover’s death. In the fourth stanza, the speaker’s illogical demands to disrupt the natural phenomenoa reveals that the death of his lover devastated him and that the world is no longer meaningful to him. The metaphorical commands in these…

Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo, and Michelangelo are names that would go down in history, because of their work in the arts, and sciences. Galileo, Da Vinci, and Michelangelo helped the Renaissance, become so influential.The Renaissance is remembered in history due to its inventions, and other discoveries. The Renaissance, spanned from the early 1400s to the early 1600s. It was mainly in eastern Europe and western Asia. Technology, Science, and Math gave the Renaissance it’s place in the history…

The Circadian clock which is the 24h day and night cycle is having an effect on the psychological activity of all organisms. These processes involve activities such as the wave pattern of the brain, melatonin, and other biological aspects. Melatonin is a hormone in the brain that helps our body to control the sleep and wake cycles. A small portion of it can be found in some certain food such as meat and fruits. Our internal “clock” in our bodies that controls the sleep and wake cycles can also…

My alarm clock sounded, I opened my eyes, and sophomore year of high school began. I accomplished the Herculean effort of dragging myself to the shower, completed my routine, and drove to my high school. The first three classes ended and my teachers and the subjects they taught began the morning perfectly. I arrived at my fourth period history class which included a new teacher named Jordan Thompson and the drama that came with him. Whenever a new teacher began at my high school, gossip fills…

a good time to be alive--there were handy inventions, plenty of smooth jazz, and flowering economics. During this short decade, the lifestyles of Canadians improved drastically due to the extraordinary new technology, including Band-Aids, accurate clocks, and insulin. Their social lives improved with the new fashions, a newly organised sports industry, and an up-and-coming jazz era. It wasn’t just their personal lives that improved; with the increase in consumerism, industrial growth, and…

It’s early, you’re tired, you don’t want to get out of bed for any reason. You know you don’t have anything until 10 so why not sleep? Within a couple of minutes you work up the courage to get up stumble into the bathroom and put your contacts in without taking too long, the day is about to begin. You make your way downstairs, grab a nutrigrain bar and slowly make your way to the garage. Little bits of light start to seep in when you open the garage and a gush of frigid morning air comes in…

“BEEP BEEP BEEP,” blared my alarm clock for the fifth time in 30 minutes. Initially, the morning began as any dreary December day would: cold, bleak, and lonely. Until now, I had spent a majority of my first high school semester tirelessly optimizing the basic act of waking up. How late could I awaken and casually stroll into class by the 8:00 bell? Indeed, I got a concrete answer: 7:34. As that final alarm sent me scampering into the shower, I noticed my glasses remained on. “No problem,” I…
