The loads may also fluctuate throughout the rotational cycle, inducing fatigue in the component.

Three replicate plots were established at three randomly selected land sites, which were under different phases of the rotational cycle: burned, fallow or shrubs.

Recently, 700 delegates from 70 nations met in Geneva to decide whether to keep or abolish the "leap second," an extra second tacked on once every few years to synchronize atomic clocks with Earth's rotational cycle.

Unlike the better-known leap year, which adds a day to February in a familiar four-year cycle (with a few well-defined exceptions), the leap second is tacked on once every few years to synchronize atomic clocks — the world's scientific timekeepers — with Earth's rotational cycle, which, sadly, does not run quite like clockwork.

Unlike the better-known leap year, which adds a day to February in a familiar four-year cycle, the leap second is tacked on once every few years to synchronize atomic clocks -- the world's scientific timekeepers -- with Earth's rotational cycle, which, sadly, does not run quite like clockwork.

In the South of the country over five rotational cycles the percentage maize yield advantage of cropping with mucuna v. sole-cropping was 132%, lifting maize yield from a mean of 0.94 t ha−1 from successive mono-cropped maize to a mean of 2.19 t ha−1 with mucuna.

All of these extinction events were themselves triggered by physical events: whether meteorites (or comets) striking the Earth (as is believed to be the case in the end-Cretaceous mass extinction perhaps coupled with massive volcanic eruptions)—or lesser, more subtle climate changes caused simply by periodic changes in Earth's orbiting and rotational cycles.

Astronomers were able to observe over 300,000 rotational cycles, giving the most precise measurement of a supermassive black hole ever taken.

Although a few supermassive black holes have also been observed in this fashion, astronomers have only been able to record a few rotational cycles, which decreases the certainty of those black hole's rotational speeds.
