He notes, however, that the investment climate for alternative energy R&D can fluctuate with the price of traditional fossil fuels.
We observed some donor-to-donor variability for HSPA14, CLASP1, LYK5, ILF17, NCAPD3, SLCO4A1, WDR51A, and UNC45A, which is to be expected, as alternative splicing is likely to fluctuate among different individuals due to the intrinsic variability in response to lymphocyte activation and potentially genetic differences.
Although this is a popular measure, it does not permit a meaningful comparative analysis of alternative projects with fluctuating costs and revenues.
But dates also fluctuate on the Gregorian calendar, and some have proposed alternatives to address this; former NASA astrophysicist Richard Conn Henry has one idea that would keep dates consistent with the days of the week.
"Every time gas prices fluctuate, there seems to be a big interest in alternative kinds of vehicles of all different types," said Leslie Kendall, curator at L.A.'s Petersen Automotive Museum on Wilshire Boulevard.
But at the moment, there has been no commitment by Nunavut's government to use any of the anticipated fuel savings for alternative energy, says Hickes, who notes that the final amount saved could still fluctuate up or down.
Given the problems associated with designing an appropriate control for a fluctuating temperature treatment and the SYNC/ASYNC experimental design used in the present study, as an alternative, researchers might adopt an experimental design with two fluctuating temperature treatments that vary only in peak temperature and fluctuate synchronously with a fluctuating UVBR irradiance regime.
"Things fluctuate," Mr. Di Rita said.
