The researchers found that small scale, wind-driven ocean currents strongly determined fluctuations in eel populations in Europe.
Changing landscape attributes and climatic parameters determine fluctuations in hantavirus epidemiology, for instance through increased food availability, prolonged virus survival and decreased biodiversity.
But the conditions that determine fluctuations within that cycle are complex: Summer temperatures have to be warm enough long enough for fireflies to emerge, but peak emergence can be delayed by up to 2 weeks depending on whether conditions are too wet or too dry.
It is proposed, for example, that wavelet analysis can be applied to determine fluctuation patterns in generation and load profiles.
Finally, an algorithm for estimating the haplogroup of an mtDNA sequence based on the combined database of full mtGenomes and Phylotree, which also incorporates the empirically determined fluctuation rates, is brought forward.
It would be very interesting to investigate the flow of T cells in meningeal lymphatic vessels during infection and inflammation and to determine fluctuation in number of T cells drawn to (and out of) the brain parenchyma which potentially would change our understanding of T cell circulation in the brain.
What determines financial fluctuations and shocks?
The value of node speed determines the fluctuation degree of multi-hop network topology and also influences virus spreading behaviors.
To clarify what factors determine the fluctuations in the regional energy demand in Japan, this study applied dynamic shift-share analysis to the fluctuations in regional energy demand.
To determine price fluctuations in 2000, the survey took the purchase price of each home sold in each ZIP code area during the year, compared it with the price the house brought the last time it sold, and then, using the annual index, adjusted the earlier price to what it probably would have been had it sold in 1999.
