Chronopedia
-
(of entrainment) Range of frequencies within which a self sustained oscillation can be entrained by a Zeitgeber.
-
Temporal insensitivity to a Zeitgeber.
-
Periodic recurrence of (an) event(s); not synonymous with cycle.
-
(cycle) Firstly: event(s) occurring every 14.76 days, the syzygic interval between extreme positions of the synodic cycle (full and new moon), also reflected in amplitude of semi diurnal tides (spring/neap tide cycle). Secondly, as intervals of 13.66 days, when the moon crosses the equator, twice a sidereal month, effecting diurnal tides.
-
(month) Or tropical month: cycle of moon around the earth relative to a distant star in 27.32 days.
-
(day/night) Phase of the free running rhythm in constant conditions, corresponding to day (night) time in light-dark conditions.
-
State in which two or more oscillations have the same frequency due to mutual or unilateral influences (referring both to ìentrainmentî and to ìmaskingî).
-
(month) Cycle of moon-phases resulting from orbital positions of earth, moon and sun, each 29.53 days.
-
Period of biological rhythm.
-
(daily) Temperature cycle.
-
(cycle) In occurrence of semi-diurnal tides (every 12.4 h; syzygic modulation of amplitude), diurnal tides (25.8 h or 23.9 h; phase shifted twice per sidereal month), or more complex mixed tides.
