  2. Hibernation (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibernation_(computing)

    Windows 10 mirrors Windows 8 as noted by Microsoft. [3] Windows 10's hibernation algorithm is solid-state drive optimized. This behavior is carried over to Windows 11. Hibernation is often underused in business environments as it is difficult to enable it on a large network of computers without resorting to third-party PC power management ...

  3. Hibernation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibernation

    Hibernation is a state of minimal activity and metabolic depression undergone by some animal species. Hibernation is a seasonal heterothermy characterized by low body-temperature, slow breathing and heart-rate, and low metabolic rate. It is most commonly used to pass through winter months – called overwintering.

  4. Sleep mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_mode

    This approach combines the benefits of sleep mode and hibernation: The machine can resume instantaneously, but it can also be powered down completely (e.g. due to loss of power) without loss of data, because it is already effectively in a state of hibernation. This mode is called "hybrid sleep" in Microsoft Windows other than Windows XP.

  5. A Study Reveals Potential Key to Human Hibernation - AOL

    Hibernation is a handy biological tool. If you can’t snowbird somewhere warmer in the winter, it’s best just to hunker down, conserve energy, and wait for the spring when resources are more ...

  6. Suspended animation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspended_animation

    In a paper published in the journal L'Anthropologie, researchers Juan-Luis Arsuaga and Antonis Bartsiokas point out that "primitive mammals and primates" like bush babies and lorises hibernate, which suggests that "the genetic basis and physiology for such a hypometabolism could be preserved in many mammalian species, including humans".

  7. Dormancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dormancy

    Hibernation is a mechanism used by many mammals to reduce energy expenditure and survive food shortages over the winter. Hibernation may be predictive or consequential. An animal prepares for hibernation by building up a thick layer of body fat during late summer and autumn that will provide it with energy during the dormant period.

  8. Aestivation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aestivation

    Aestivation (Latin: aestas (summer); also spelled estivation in American English) is a state of animal dormancy, similar to hibernation, although taking place in the summer rather than the winter. Aestivation is characterized by inactivity and a lowered metabolic rate, that is entered in response to high temperatures and arid conditions. [ 1 ]

  9. Hibernation factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibernation_factor

    Hibernation factors can do a variety of things, including dismantling cellular machinery and halting gene expression, but the most important hibernation factors bind to the ribosome and halt protein production, which consumes a large fraction of the energy in a cell. [1] [2] How different hibernation factors bind to the ribosome's active sites
