Since the degree of birefringence is affected by the horizontal orientation of the fish, the fish were gently oscillated back and forth to account for differences in positioning.
Relative to the GOP's contest in 2008, the 2012 battle for the Republican nomination was a protracted affair that continually oscillated back and forth, with Romney gaining momentum only to see it subsequently fizzle after surges for Santorum or Gingrich.
Hughes was in his mid-20s: he had done national service before going to the University of Cambridge and, after graduating, had oscillated back and forth between London (where he had casual jobs) and Cambridge (where he found his girlfriends).
Over the years I have oscillated back and forth on a spiritual continuum.
When light is polarized, the photons oscillate back and forth in the same direction—say, up and down for vertically polarized light or side to side for horizontally polarized light.
The tubules are aligned with microtubules, and they are not stable; instead, they oscillate back and forth.
The pallets are mounted on a vertical shaft (the verge), and their speed of oscillating back and forth is controlled by a crossbar at the top (the foliot) with two small weights; moving the weights outward from the shaft slows the oscillations.
In particular, we show that by decreasing the mass flow rate, the flame, which is at first stable, starts to oscillate back and forth for a limited range of gas velocities but is then restabilized by further decreasing the mass flow rate.
I appreciated the way she could oscillate back and forth between being a suburban white lady watching HGTV and then jolt you back into realizing that she's watching HGTV instead of being the president of the United States. .
Especially noticeable is the way in which the artist oscillates back and forth with the placement of a beachside shed, along with a reversing of figures in the composition to get the right sense of balance and proportion.
