Department of Neurology, Peking University Third Hospital Sleep Center Professor Shen Yang said that the long-term “black and white reversed,” will disrupt the body clock to normal. If working hours are 12 hours, that is, two classes of rotation, it is suggested that the number of days of consecutive night shifts, limited to 4 days; if it is eight hours, should be limited to 5 days. And, at night after a row, preferably with 48 hours to rest.

Sleep late the elderly may wish to get up early. Stanford University, USA Professor Friedman, there is a problem for older people have sleep research, the elderly should get up early sleep late try to reduce the time in bed.

The Web is a big fish market

East Anglia University of British ecologist Tim Daw, recently mentioned in an interview, ecologist at the eyes of today’s Internet, can be seen as an early ‘ecological early warning system’. The full text of connection

Tim explained, for example, ‘If we put information on the Internet, as are a lot of coral reefs, then these changes in information, not only will change the diversity of coral reefs around the fish, even in large enough, the will to change to the global seafood market. ‘

Tim said, ‘the world’s six billion people on Earth, their biosphere, the ongoing rapid changes in the Internet before, it is difficult to achieve. Scientists therefore hope that, from the Internet may find some useful data, to discover one of the mysteries. It’s more crowd mining than crowd sourcing. ‘Sources.

* Coral reefs: the structure of the surrounding environment can affect their physical and ecological conditions.

The following is a more intuitive to enlarge:

web foretell ecosystem collapse The Web is a big fish market

At the bottom of Legend: books, said the electronic media. Box express documents and correspondence, people express the community blog. Express computer data

These research efforts seem to indicate that people are good sensors, but pulling the information from what they post in human-readable formats and transforming it into quantitative models of the world is tough. The Global Public Health Intelligence Network has developed an epidemic warning system that pulls in data from news wires, web sites, and public health mailing lists. The GPHIN, which is probably the most advanced and uses highly variegated information, only picks up on about 40 percent of the 200 to 250 outbreaks that the World Health Organization investigates each year.

Nonetheless, Daw and and his co-authors from the Stockholm Univeristy Resilience Centre, say traditional ecological monitoring has its problems, too. Humans can make huge changes to ecosystems faster than the standard methods of data collection can keep up.

“The challenge is that existing monitoring systems are not at all in tune with the speed of social, economical and ecological changes,” the researchers write on their blog.

By looking at human data, not just fisheries and ecological readings, they think they’ll be able to detect ecosystem tipping points before they happen.

“Web crawlers can collect information on the drivers of ecosystem change, rather than the resultant ecological responses,” they write. “For example, if rapidly emerging markets for high value species are known to be socio-economic drivers which lead to overexploitation and collapse of a fishery, web crawlers can be designed to collect information on rapid changes in prices, landings or investments.”

But right now, their plans remain theoretical, and while scraping data seems easy enough, turning it into knowledge is another story. John Brownstein, a Harvard bioinformaticist and co-founder of HealthMap, which does for disease what Daw wants to do for ecology, said that applying the framework to ecology could work.

“There’s no reason it can’t be done,” Brownstein said. “The only difference is that this is more difficult. The media and other sources are sensitive and fine-tuned to things like human disease. The threshold for the reporting of a mysterious disease is different from the threshold for an ecological phenomenon.”

In other words, while reporters (or Tweeters) will include individual-level death data in human stories, massive die-offs or flora changes could very well go unnoticed and probably unquantified.

And even with disease data, there are serious signal-to-noise challenges. In a paper that Brownstein co-authored last week, he showed that monitoring search terms for disease indicators could have tipped officials off to a deadly outbreak of listeriosis in Canada. But spotting emergent diseases instead of ones that have already caused major damage is a more challenging proposition.

“It’s so tough to figure out why people search for specific information,” he said.
