  The Social Fabric and Annual Cycle of Residential Colleges
Once all these things are in place, the result is glorious: from arrival day for the new freshmen to the sights and sounds of graduation, and all the joys and sorrows in between, the annual cycle of a residential college is one of the most beautiful things in the world.
The cycle of a particular academic year actually begins many months in advance of the year in question, since the first part of it is the admission of new members into the college.
You should also consider sponsoring an annual literary contest in the spring, one that is open to undergraduates in the college or perhaps to the university as a whole.

  Annual cycle in Peru Current
The relative importance of the processes responsible for the annual cycle in the upper ocean heat content in the Peru Current, in the southeastern tropical Pacific, was diagnosed from an oceanic analysis dataset.
The annual cycle of the albedo associated with low-level clouds enhances the annual cycle in insolation, which explains the relatively strong annual cycle of heat content.
The annual cycle in SST is also relatively small, which is probably due to the changes in the temperature of the water entrained into the mixed layer associated with the thermocline motions, but also to a mixed layer deeper than that closer to the coast.

 Annual cycle
In geosciences[?], an annual cycle is the part of a measured quantity's fluctuation that is attributed to Earth's changing position in orbit over the course of the year.
The annual cycle is commonly estimated from observational data or model output by taking the average of all Januaries, all Februaries, and so forth.
there is no significant long-term trend), a meaningful annual cycle will result that can be used to calculate an anomaly time series.

 Safe Haven | Dow Theory and Cycle Quantifications
Within this cycle is the advancing portion of the cycle and the declining portion of the cycle.
As discussed in the January issue of Cycles News and Views, we also know that because of the fact that the January rally was able to better this previous cycle top, which occurred in March 2005 at 10,984.50, the expected decline into this coming annual cycle low should now be softened.
This issue covers the time and price expectations for the decline into the coming annual cycle low, the expected duration of the rally that is to follow as the next annual cycle moves up and the statistical expectations for the next 4-year cycle low that is looming on the horizon.

 ANNUAL LEAVE POLICY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Annual leave must be taken not later than six months after the end of the annual leave cycle.
Annual leave may not be taken during any other period of leave to which the employee is entitled in terms of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act; or any period of notice of termination of employment.
An employee's entitlement to annual leave will be reduced by the number of days of occasional leave on full remuneration granted to the employee at the employee's request in that leave cycle.

 Lunar Cycle
The purpose of this paper is to derive a cycle relating the lunar cycle to an equity average.
Those technicians who rely upon the annual cycle (the average percentage change in the DJIA from January 1 to December 31) are looking at an astronomically based cycle.
The lunar cycle is defined by astrono- mers by the period beginning and ending with the conjunction of the sun and the moon.

 On the Annual Cycle in the Tropical Eastern-Central Pacific Abstract
In the tropical eastern-central Pacific Ocean, the annual cycle in sea surface temperature (SST), surface winds and pressure, and clouds are alternatively dominated by an antisymmetric (with respect to the equator) monsoonal mode in February and August and a quasi-symmetric equatorial-coastal mode in May and November, both having a period of one year.
This paper presents an observational analysis of the peculiar annual cycle in the tropical eastern-central Pacific and explores its physical causes; in particular, the causes responsible for annual weakening and reestablishment of the equatorial cold tongue and the onset of the eastern North Pacific monsoon.
The latter on the equator is forced by the semiannual cycle in solar declination and a minor annual cycle in earth-sun distance.

 Safe Haven | Focus On The 4-Year Cycle
My work with the 4-year cycle is based on probability and the cyclical relationship between the 4-year cycle, the 12-month/annual cycle and the 22-week cycle.
Once the 4-year cycle topped, there was only one leg down into the 4-year cycle low and that leg down occurred in conjunction with a single decline of the annual cycle.
The least decline ever into a 4-year cycle low from the intra-day top down into the intra-day low was 12.04% and this occurred with the decline into the 1994 4-year cycle low, which was obviously part of the greatest bull market ever.

 WXWISE ERBE
The annual average albedo of the northern and southern hemispheres is nearly the same, demonstrating the important influence of clouds.
The annual variation in net radiative energy follows that of the solar declination due to the annual variation of the incoming solar energy being greater than the annual variation of the albedo.
On an annual and long-term basis in which no energy storage and no change in the global mean temperature occurs, this radiative imbalance between the tropics and polar regions must be balanced by meridional heat transport by the atmosphere and oceans.

 Annual Growth Cycle
Plants have avoided injury primarily through the evolution of distinct annual cycles in which periods of active growth are interspersed with stress resistant resting stages wherein there is no evidence of active growth, but during which there may be preparation for the following period of rapid root and shoot expansion.
Therefore the annual growth cycle of a typical temperate zone plant will maximize the potential to avoid injury from climatic extremes but only rarely utilize the entire periods of low or nonstress weather to achieve maximum possible growth.
The species has evolved in accord with this general climate and the resultant annual growth cycle is conservative in that the active growth period, at least in so far as shoot extension is concerned, is much shorter than the frost free period.

 Medicine Garden - Your Annual Success Cycles by Carol Willis
The first cycle of your year (ruled by the Sun) is good for pushing forward with new plans, vitality, image, confidence, and new beginnings.
In the 4th cycle (ruled by Mercury), you are intuitive and receive spiritual inspiration, are very open and sensitive now, so protect the nervous system and stay away from chaotic influences.
The 7th cycle (ruled by Saturn) is for rest and regeneration, releasing the old and making plans for your new year, reflection, solitude, simplifying, and a wealth of inspiration.

 Significance of 40 Days   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
For the purposes of presenting a clear analysis, the rate of a unique day in each and every cycle of 40 days (the 40th day) will be typed or classed to be a rate of those days that are accounted for apart from other days comprising the annual cycle.
An annual difference of only 2.2 seconds per year is the inherent result of tracking 40th days separately from the time stream--as a perpetual rate.
Currently, the track of a cycle of 40 days can be used to determine the epoch of the annual transit to within the average limits of only 2.2 seconds per year.

 Understanding the annual cycle of equatorial Pacific as
It is the air-sea coupling responsible for the equatoriai westward propagation of the annual cycles of SST and zonai wind.
A quite weak and phase-Iagged SST annual cycle in the eastern equatorial Pacific and a fictl- tlous annual cycle in the western Pacific are produced.
They also produce a semiannual cycle of surface wind speed in the western equatorial Pacific, which is important for the SST semiannual cycle in this region, but have little influence on the SST annual cycle in the eastern equatorial Pacific.

 Lecture 13: Annual Cycle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Experiments have shown that if you deprive birds from access to normal light and dark cycles (e.g., by keeping them in dim light), their circadian rhythm will drift away from a strict 24-hour cycle (the same is true for humans).
One cue that might help them entrain their cycles is patterns of varying day length.
In the tropics, breeding is often tied to seasonal wet-dry cycles, rather than to "summer" and "winter".

 Gartner's 2006 Emerging Technologies Hype Cycle Highlights Key Technology Themes
This year’s hype cycle highlights three major themes that are experiencing significant activity and which include new or heavily hyped technologies, where organisations may be uncertain as to which will have most impact on their business.
Despite the changes in specific technologies over the years, the hype cycle's underlying message remains the same: Don't invest in a technology just because it is being hyped, and don't ignore a technology just because it is not living up to early expectations.
The “Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, 2006” report is one of 78 hype cycles released by Gartner in 2006.

 Annual cycle of equatorial zonal currents in the Pacific
Observational (Tropical Atmosphere-Ocean array) data on the annual cycle of upper ocean zonal currents on the equator are analyzed using a simple dynamical ocean model in order to investigate underlying dynamics.
By realistically simulating the vertical structure of annual cycle, the model shows that linear dynamics determines the vertical and meridional structure of the annual cycle.

Wading Birds in the Everglades: The Annual Cycle
Once the marshes are reflooded, food concentrations are rapidly diluted and most of the wading birds are forced to disperse northward out of the Everglades region.
As a result, sharply reduced nesting success has led to a reduction in the number of wading birds nesting in the southern Everglades, from a maximum of 300,000 birds in the 1930s, to 10,000 - 15,000 by the early 1990s.
