Oscillating

Wind and weather conditions on the Great Lakes may create a seiche, an oscillating wave which can be several feet high.

A seiche is a standing wave oscillating in a body of water.

His shoulders are rounded from much study, and his face protrudes forward, and is forever slowly oscillating from side to side in a curiously reptilian fashion.

Life is unpredictable, problematic, oscillating between ups and downs.

Some scientists believe the origin of this oscillating signal to be a neutron star.

The vibrations the tiny lever produces are also incredibly small, oscillating at approximately one millionth of a millimeter. So to measure these microscopic vibrations, a laser is projected onto the lever and the light that’s reflected back is converted into an electrical signal that is then interpreted by a clinician.

But if he be admitted to have been fixed, as he declares, it admits of proof that he has a species of fixedness belonging to him of a very oscillating kind; which may be best illustrated by that of a ship riding off at sea by a single anchor, which at every turn of the tide swings about, and brings her head round to a point of the compass diametrically opposite to that it stood toward before.

In general the experiments proved that in nephritis the secretion of the gastric mucosa is vitiated. This vitiation is exceedingly oscillating.

When examining work on the history of sociology, however, one finds a more oscillating pattern: disciplinary marginality, followed by greater centrality, followed by a return to the margins.

Highly oscillating sequences converge in the weak topology, i.e., the topology of convergence of integral means.
