| Abstract | Due to the 24-hour lighting-dark cycle on earth, circadian rhythm regulates the biochemical and physiological processes of almost all living organisms, including plants, insects, and mammals. Maintaining the regular cyclicity of this internal clock, called entrainment, is important to the well being of an organism. For human, circadian disruption can lead to lower productivity, digestive problems, decreased sleep efficiency and other health problems. Various models have been proposed for the circadian rhythm, from empirical oscillator type models to genetic network based biochemical models. These models are used to gain insight into the mechanism governing the circadian rhythm, but may also be used to formulate light-based control strategies for its regulation. As a first step towards our eventual goal of light based circadian rhythm regulation for human, we are conducting experiments with drosophila (fruit fly), measuring the interaction between light intensity and wavelength and its locomotive activity level. Instead of the high order biochemical models proposed in the past, we consider a second order empirical oscillator model, with light intensity as input and activity as the output. By first entraining the flies in a regular rhythm and then observe the effect of light pulses, we are able to identify the model parameters based on the input/output experimental data. The model shows promising predictive capability: Our simulation shows that two blue pulses can shift the phase of drosophila circadian pacemaker by 12 hours, while the experiment result is 13.3 hours. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
