It is interesting to note that due to the cooperative nature of a fluctuating edge as having either all 5 bars or no bars, fluctuations in the number of bars is maximal in these networks.
"Fluctuations in the number of applications received can lead to visas temporarily taking longer to process.
Figure 13: Fluctuations in the number of particles, out of 100, on one side of a perforated partition dividing a box into equal halves (see text).
Fluctuations in the number of foreign students attending colleges in this country are watched carefully by education administrators because many of these students do not seek financial aid and therefore constitute an important source of revenue.
The segregation is helped along by genetic drift, which is random fluctuations in the number of successive generations from a cancer cell line, and it might be limited by nutrient control.
The RMS width seen in the measurement is therefore dominated by the fluctuations in the number of γ-rays absorbed in the detector (counting statistics) rather than the intrinsic detector noise.
Thus it was anticipated that statistical fluctuations in the number of photons counted and instrument reproducibility, both quantifiable entities, should be able to account for all the observed variance in the measured dose distributions.
Similarly, in some other countries, either the presence of conflicts93 or the occurrence of natural disasters88,89 during the specific time period covered by the census may have produced fluctuations in the number of internal migrants and consequently biased results for the period considered in this study.
This system is arguably less valuable than having no system at all: fluctuations in the number of agencies choosing to report figures, plus faulty reporting by agencies that do report, have resulted in partially informed news coverage pointing misleadingly to trends that may or may not exist.
Temporal summation is consistent with quantum theory; it has been shown that fluctuations in the number of quanta actually in a light flash are responsible for the variable responsiveness of the eye; increasing the duration of a light stimulus increases the probability that it will contain a given number of quanta, and that it will excite.
In Fig. 1 we have reported the fluctuations in the number of active ports over the years.
