Usage examples of "oscillations".

These oscillations were exactly like those described under Brassica and Dionaea, but they occurred only occasionally.

This upward movement differs from one of the great diurnal oscillations above described only by the position being permanent during the night and by its periodicity, as it always commences late in the evening.

The leaflets of Averrhoa made a countless number of little oscillations when the temperature was high and the sun shining.

Thus with different species, and with different individuals of the same species, there were many gradations from a single diurnal movement to oscillations as complex as those of the Ipomoea and Cassia.

Subsequently the aircraft experienced severe pitch oscillations and lost 6,000 feet altitude before control was returned to the autopilot.

These oscillations were quite different from the trembling caused by any disturbance in the same room or by the shutting of a distant door.

The nocturnal sinking movement, which is merely a great increase of one of the diurnal oscillations, commenced about 4 P.

The diagram leads to the belief that the great periodical daily rise and fall does not differ essentially, excepting in amplitude, from the oscillations during the middle of the day.

As it appeared possible that the movements might be due to currents of air, a wax taper was held close to the leaf during one of the motionless periods, but no oscillations were thus caused.

The amplitude of the oscillations diminished, while the periods of oscillation became shorter.

When the temperature began to fall, the oscillations became slower and larger, and the mean position of the leaf again approached the horizontal.

After a short time, transitory oscillations along the rubber surface would settle down, leaving us with a static warped membrane.

This is a distinction we have already discussed in some detail: The oscillations of the string imbue it with characteristics such as mass and force charges.

Their oscillations, just as those of their unwound counterparts, contribute strongly to their observed properties.
