  Cyclic Neutropenia
Cyclic neutropenia is a disorder in which the number of these special cells drops dramatically in a cyclical pattern -- usually about every 21 days.
The diagnosis of cyclic neutropenia is often quite difficult because the symptoms may be quite variable in different children ranging from the rather mild in those whose numbers drop only moderately to the very severe in those whose neutrophil numbers drop to zero.
Not all children with cyclic neutropenia inherit this disorder but certainly a good proportion of them do which makes examination of family members important in both making the diagnosis in the child as well as in other family members who might otherwise not know they have it.

 FRB: Speech, Ferguson--Basel II: A case study in risk management--April 28, 2003
I want to emphasize that historically bank credit availability has demonstrated a clear cyclical pattern that is both consistent with the credit-making decision process I have just described and that, in turn, has exacerbated real economic cycles.
Earlier I noted the cyclical pattern that historically has characterized bank credit availability, a pattern exacerbated by the lack of formal and systematic credit-risk management.
It is true that the required capital ratio will likely have a cycle; but such a pattern will reflect genuine risk developments, and the more accurate measurement should be helpful to bank managers, supervisors, and the public.

The cyclical pattern in the multifactor productivity measure has not been satisfactorily explained, although various factors that may contribute to such movements have been identified.
One possible explanation for the cyclical pattern of multifactor productivity focuses on the measurement of capital input, specifically, the measurement of capital discards.

 Précis, Monthly Labor Review Online, October 2003
As Crone examines the cyclical component of economic activity, it also appears that Pennsylvania’s cyclical downturns have been more severe than those of the Nation as a whole.
Delaware’s cyclical pattern was very different, according to Crone: "Delaware suffered one long cyclical downturn between August 1979 and August 1982—a period that spanned two downturns for the Nation and for the other two States in the region.
Despite the length of the cyclical downturn in Delaware in the early 1980s, the cyclical decline in Delaware was less severe than the decline at the national level between 1981 and 1983." More recently, Delaware has had longer and larger cyclical losses than the Nation.

can the cyclical pattern of social protest movements be traced to economic, demographic, generational or other factors that themselves display a recurent wave like or even cyclical pattern of growth and decline, which in turn generartes "cycles" of social protest movements?

Aluminium displays a similar pattern, but its peak occurred earlier, in early March, at just over US$2,000 a tonne.
But the hard part is separating seasonal elements from cyclical factors in these price moves.

 San Andreas quakes show cyclical pattern / UC-Berkeley study finds fault slipping in periodic bursts
By analogy, it would be as if one discovered that almost all quakes occur during the first third of each day, from midnight to 8 a.m., and almost never during the rest of the day.
A distinct cyclical pattern of the smaller quakes, those less than 4.7, constituted one part of the research findings.
Instead, it took sophisticated computer techniques and intensive data analysis for the patterns to emerge, spotted first in the smaller quakes that tend to be ignored.

 SADF OPERATION ASKARI (1983 - 1984)
In an attempt to surprise the enemy and to alter the pattern of predictability, Operation Askari was planned.
Bearing in mind the difficulties of mobile operations in the wet season, it was decided that Askari would be a semi-conventional operation using conventional arms against Swapo Plan, while they were still massed in their training bases before the start of their 1984 insurgency campaign.
This called for a combined effort of ground and air forces to bomb and bombard in such a pattern, that the SA-8 batteries would be forced to change their position by moving to the south.

 Patriot Daily :: Deconstructing The Bush Incompetence Myth
The Bush administration has a pattern of ignoring warnings that its proposed policy, action or inaction will have deleterious consequences.
After the negative consequences occur, a Bush official then professes that no one could have predicted that such an event could have occurred until it is publicly revealed that it had been precisely warned beforehand.
This cyclical pattern is seen in many of the "mistakes" that have occurred on Bush's watch -- 9/11, multiple aspects of the Iraq war and Katrina.
