Similar themes recur, with variations, such as struggling business plans, neglect, sometimes obscure owners, and then the smoke drifting across the town and fire crews almost helpless as, without the equipment to fight flames at sea, they watch the piers go up like balls of newspaper.
Rather, recent genomic studies of urological cancers suggest that common mechanisms recur with variations.
Those in categories six to 10 showed "overwhelming" evidence of some kind of doping, due to "recurring anomalies", "enormous variations" in parameters, and even the "identification of doping products or methods", according to L'Equipe.
The results were lovely in their low-key, unprepossessing way: drones and undulating rhythmic figures supporting series of variations on recurring tunes.
Interestingly, like digital clocks and unlike the wt model, the cwo-mutant model of the Drosophila circadian clock exhibits jitter or variations in recurring signal (see Figures 1b c).
From start to finish, the theme (and minor variations) recurs 12 times, which means you hear it, roughly, every 23 seconds.
Although tumours with the −1p/−19q genotype are likely to respond to chemotherapy, all oligodendroglial neoplasms inevitably recur, with wide variations in PFS even in those with the −1p/−19q genotype (van den Bent, 2004).
The stately passacaglia — variations on a recurring ground bass that make up much of Act II — recalls the chaconne of "Keep in Touch".
The folksy and cheerful quality of the seventh movement, "The Market at Limoges," is neutralized by the eighth, "The Catacombs," which casts an eerie shadow with ominous chords and variations on the recurring intermezzo.
