Time-of-Day could affect cognitive screening performance in older patients with TIA and stroke by Mazzucco, S, Li, L, Tuna, M, Pendlebury, S, Frost, R, Wharton, R, Rothwell, P

“…</p> <h4>Results</h4> <p>Of 278 patients, 113 (40.6%) were tested in the morning and 165 (59.4%) in the afternoon. The proportion with SCI was greater in the afternoon than in the morning (10.9 vs. 1.8%, respectively, p = 0.004), with no difference in age, education, diagnosis, disability, or vascular risk factors.…”

The Saharan heat low and moisture transport pathways in the central Sahara—Multiaircraft observations and Africa‐LAM evaluation by Engelstaedter, S, Washington, R, Flamant, C, Parker, D, Allen, C, Todd, M

“…The SHL core is associated with a 950 hPa temperature minimum (36.4°C) in the morning caused by the monsoon surge and a maximum (42.6°C) in the afternoon. The monsoon surge east of the SHL core splits into two transport pathways: (a) curving around the SHL core in the north, especially pronounced in a morning near‐surface layer, and (b) northeastward transport within the ~2 km deep monsoon surge (afternoon observations only). …”

Satellite observations of smoke–cloud–radiation interactions over the Amazon rainforest by Herbert, R, Stier, P

“…Contrasting morning and afternoon cloud responses to smoke are observed, in line with recent simulations. …”

A randomised placebo-controlled trial of oral hydrocortisone for treating tobacco withdrawal symptoms. by Ussher, M, Aveyard, P, Reid, F, West, R, Evans, P, Clow, A, Hucklebridge, F, Fuller, J, Ibison, J, Steptoe, A

“…Salivary cortisol was assessed in the afternoon prior to abstinence (baseline) and while abstinent after each treatment. …”

Diurnal variation in the production of vocal information about food supports a model of social adjustment in wild songbirds by Hillemann, F, Cole, E, Keen, S, Sheldon, B, Farine, D

“…Vocal activity was highest in the morning and decreased into the afternoon. This pattern was not explained by there being fewer birds present, as we found that group sizes increased over the course of the day. …”

The precipitation patterns and atmospheric dynamics of the Serengeti National Park by Mahony, J, Dyer, E, Washington, R

“…The majority of the park received a late-afternoon rainfall peak, but from October to March an early afternoon peak was present between the wind convergence line over the central Serengeti and the rift topography. …”

Unobtrusive ambulatory EEG using a smartphone and flexible printed electrodes around the ear by Debener, S, Emkes, R, De Vos, M, Bleichner, M

“…Using a smartphone for stimulus delivery and signal acquisition, resting EEG and auditory oddball data were collected in the morning and in the afternoon six to seven hours apart. Analysis of resting EEG data confirmed well-known spectral differences between eyes open and eyes closed conditions. …”

Predicting hypertensive patients with higher risk of developing vascular events using heart rate variability and machine learning by Alkhodari, M, Islayem, D, Alskafi, F, Khandoker, A

“…The extraction of features was based on a 24-hour cycle analysis segmented into four time periods; namely late-night, early-morning, afternoon, and evening. Analysis of all features was performed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test on period by period basis. …”

Mesoscale rainfall patterns observed around wetlands in Sub-Saharan Africa by Taylor, C, Prigent, C, Dadson, S

“…The observed signal is strongest during the afternoon and weakens overnight. Using cloud‐top temperature data from the Sahel, we find that afternoon convective initiation is favoured close to wetlands, consistent with forcing by a thermally‐induced circulation from gradients in sensible heat fluxes. …”

Physical activity predicts task-related behaviour, affect and tiredness in the primary school classroom: A within-person experiment by Heemskerk, C, Strand, S, Malmberg, L

“…Accelerometers were worn for 24 h leading up to and during every intervention afternoon. Participants completed self-reports three times per classroom lesson, both before and after PE. …”

Co-Presence Communities: Using Pervasive Computing to Support Weak Social Networks. by Lawrence, J, Payne, T, Roure, D

“…Although the strongest social relationships feature most prominently in our lives, we also maintain a multitude of much weaker connections: the distant colleagues that we share a coffee with in the afternoon; the waitress at a our regular sandwich bar; or the 'familiar stranger' we meet each morning on the way to work. …”

A postcard from Oxford: Rudolf Steiner at Manchester College by Paull, J

“…On the Sunday, Steiner preached in the Manchester College Chapel. Afternoon lectures were presented by 14 speakers at the nearby Keble College.…”

Time-of-day variation in SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels during the second wave of COVID-19 by Zhuang, X, Wang, W, Borrmann, H, Balfe, P, Matthews, PC, Eyre, DW, Klerman, EB, McKeating, JA

“…SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic PCR data from 1698 participants showed a significantly higher viral load in samples obtained in the afternoon, in males, and in hospitalised patients when linear mixed modelling was applied. …”

Daytime variation in hepatitis C virus replication kinetics following liver transplant by Zhuang, X, Lai, A, McKeating, J, Rowe, I, Balfe, P

“…In contrast, no viral rebound was observed in seven subjects transplanted in the afternoon. None of the other parameters previously reported to influence viral replication in the post-transplant setting, such as donor age, cold-ischemia time and length of surgery associated with viral rebound. …”

Inter- and intra-operator variability in the reading of indirect immunofluorescence assays for the serological diagnosis of scrub typhus and murine typhus. by Phetsouvanh, R, Thojaikong, T, Phoumin, P, Sibounheuang, B, Phommasone, K, Chansamouth, V, Lee, S, Newton, P, Blacksell, S

“…Inter-observer agreement was moderate (κ = 0.45) for MT and fair (κ = 0.32) for ST, and was significantly correlated with experience (P = 0.03 and P = 0.004, respectively); κ-scores for intra-observer agreement between morning and afternoon readings (range = 0.35-0.86) were not correlated between years of experience for ST and MT IFAs (Spearman's ρ = 0.31, P = 0.54 and P = 0.14, respectively; P = 0.78). …”

Burrowing in rodents: a sensitive method for detecting behavioral dysfunction. by Deacon, R

“…The test is run from late afternoon until the next morning, but only two measurements need to be taken.…”

Communicability across evolving networks. by Grindrod, P, Parsons, M, Higham, D, Estrada, E

“…For example, suppose A and B interact in the morning, and then B and C interact in the afternoon. Information, or disease, may then pass from A to C, but not vice versa. …”

Moderate exercise, postprandial lipaemia and triacylglycerol clearance. by Gill, J, Mees, G, Frayn, K, Hardman, A

“…Eight normotriglyceridaemic men, aged 48.3 +/- 7.3 years (mean +/- SD), performed two oral fat tolerance tests (blood samples taken in the fasted state and for six hours after a high-fat meal containing 1.00 g fat, 0.97 g carbohydrate, 58 kJ energy kg-1 fat-free body mass) and two intravenous fat tolerance tests (blood samples in the fasted state and after a bolus injection of Intralipid, 0.1 g fat kg-1 body mass). The afternoon before one oral and one intravenous test, subjects walked briskly for 90 min; no exercise was performed before the control tests. …”
