Discuss the role of endogenous pacemakers and exogenous zeitgebers in the circadian rhythm. 24 Markers Circadian rhythm is rhythms that last 24 hours‚ one day. An example of a Circadian Rhythm is the sleep-wake cycle. Because this rhythm occurs daily‚ it is tempting to automatically assume that the factors which control it are exogenous zeitgebers‚ such as natural light patterns‚ TV‚ radio‚ birdsong‚ Research however has gone into this to find out what exactly controls the circadian rhythms.

Electrical Q&A Part-3 Questions and Answers related to Transformer: 1. What is a transformer and how does it work? * A transformer is an electrical apparatus designed to convert alternating current from one voltage to another. It can be designed to “step up” or “step down” voltages and works on the magnetic induction principle. * A transformer has no moving parts and is a completely static solid state device‚ which insures‚ under normal operating conditions‚ a long and trouble-free

Abstract In our experiment‚ we analysed three-phase balanced or unbalanced circuits by using PSpice 9.1 and the same way is used to analyse single-phase ac circuit. We determined the value of generator current Iab‚ line current IbB‚ and the phase current IBC. Initially‚ PSpice is used to draw a schematic diagram of circuit A. Under the simulation‚ two major problems were occurred. First‚ a delta connected source is a loop of voltage sources which must be prevented when PSpice is used. To prevent

test is conducted on single-phase and three-phase transformer to determine the iron core resistance‚ Rc and magnetized reactance‚ Xm. The purpose of short-circuit test is to determine the series branch parameters of the equivalent circuit of a Real transformer. The series branch parameters is the summation of primary and referred secondary resistances and reactance if refer to primary sides. In other words‚ short-circuit test is conducted on single-phase and three-phase transformers to determine the

Determine R and X. 3. Two loads connected in parallel are supplied from a single-phase 240-Vrms source. The two loads draw a total real power of 400 kW at a power factor of 0.8 lagging. One of the loads draws 120 kW at a power factor of 0.96 leading. Find the complex power of the other load. 4. The load shown in figure 1 consists of resistance R in parallel with a capacitor of reactance X. The load is fed from a single-phase supply through a line of impedance 8.4 + j11.2 .

Some endogenous disorders include advanced sleep phase disorder‚ irregular sleep-wake rhythm‚ and the non-24-hour sleep-wake syndrome. The journal article “How to assess circadian rhythm in humans: A review of literature” reviews the effect of circadian rhythm on epilepsy‚ along with the methodology of
