Disentrained

Advancement of REM sleep to an earlier position within the sleep period was also exhibited in the sleep of disentrained subjects in the form of increased durations of the first REM sleep episodes of major sleep periods.

The Monday morning blahs occur because inner clocks, uncorrected, disentrained and allowed to go their own sweet way, have made inner time irrelevant to outer time.

Estimations of time of day were obtained from 18 subjects (age range: 20 to 77), at irregular intervals, during 72 hours in the disentrained environment.

When an organism is disentrained -- that is, when an organism is unable to make contact with the temporal frame of reference provided by the relevant zeitgeber (in this case, the alternating cycle of day and night), such a disentrained organism will operate on the basis of the intrinsic properties of its internal biological clock.

The disentrained solids are conveyed through a two-stage shaker screen to remove most of the fine glass and other inerts.

When the particle contacts the plate, it becomes disentrained.

Washout, especially in continuously- and intermittently-flushed systems, sedimentation of disentrained cells and grazing by filter feeders can each account for major losses of phytoplankton biomass.
