This book, based on extensive international collaborative research,
highlights the state-of-the-art design of "smart living" for
metropolises, megacities, and metacities, as well as at the
community and neighbourhood level. Smart living is one of six main
components of smart cities, the others being smart people, smart

technologies, the Internet of Things, Internet of Governance
(e-Governance) and Internet of People (e-Democracy), the design of
smart living utilizes various domain-specific tools to achieve
coordinated, effective and efficient management, development, and
conservation, and to improve ecological, social, biophysical,
psychological and economic well-being in an equitable manner
without compromising the sustainability of development ecosystems
and stakeholders. This book presents case studies covering more
than 10 cities and centred on domain-specific smart living
components. The book is issued in two volumes. and this volume
focus on city studies.
This book covers the main aspects of biological rhythms. It focuses on the evolution and basic features of the biorhythms in organisms, deals with the circadian system at the genetic, molecular and cellular levels, and describes the mechanisms involved in the perception and light entrainment of the biological clock in vertebrates and invertebrates. The most important features of the biological clock are summarized on the level of whole organisms, from fish to mammals, and long-term (seasonal) rhythms in plants and higher vertebrates are discussed. Finally, the book concentrates on short-term rhythms, the significance of having a biological clock system in animals living in extreme (Arctic) environments, and on the diversity of circadian responses to melatonin, one of the key endocrine elements involved in the regulation of biological rhythms.
