Collocations with variation

considerable variation
Considerable variation remains behind this pattern.
cultural variation
We agree regarding the importance of individual and cultural variation in religion.
cyclical variation
These moving averages will also remove any cyclical variation.
day-to-day variation
In the current setting this could be attributable to low infection intensities of both parasites, combined with intra-specimen and day-to-day variation in egg output.
degree of variation
Note the high degree of variation in individual frequencies.
dimension of variation
In addition to historical and regional variation in the attention devoted to crimes by police, it is important to note another dimension of variation.
diurnal variation
Clear patterns of diurnal variation were documented.
enormous variation
Both diseases exhibit an enormous variation in severity.
geographic variation
Interpreting geographic variation in life-history traits.
geographical variation
In fact, interspecific size difference could be completely obscured by geographical variation.
heritable variation
Increased heritable variation following population bottlenecks : the role of dominance.
infinite variation
Furthermore, through repetition, one could achieve infinite variation.
interesting variation
Another interesting variation is to augment the implementation of section 4 by a balancing scheme.
intraspecific variation
There is less information available regarding intraspecific variation in cercarial emergence patterns with the same definitive host.
limited variation
It was found that both parasitaemia and parasite population displayed limited variation during persistent infection.
local variation
In particular, the detection of local variation within one country, or limited area, may call for the definition of new dimensions aimed at characterizing the local variation.
marked variation
Working speed, on the other hand, underwent no marked variation during the 3-year trial period; consequently, working capacity and fuel consumption remained virtually unchanged.
minor variation
However, some minor variation at the nucleotide level was observed.
natural variation
However, natural variation in complexity and cue validity is gradual and confounded with a host of other variables.
normal variation
What counts as the normal variation between people and what counts as an abnormality?
observed variation
These trials had a similar design, but the observed variation in transmission was very high.
periodic variation
The nature of the limit cycle is a periodic variation of the amplitude of the whole wavetrain.
pitch variation
The apparently excessive pitch variation may reflect the fact that everyone is shouting.
random variation
The model assumes constant tectonic subsidence and a random variation in sea level.
range of variation
I omitted verse to reduce the range of variation.
rate variation
An inverse method for determining lithospheric strain rate variation on geological timescales.
regional variation
There is no class or regional variation.
residual variation
The residual variation may come from biological and technical factors.
seasonal variation
There is no seasonal variation.
secular variation
The secular variation of the maximum temperature is observed not only at low latitudes, but extends up to the polar region.
sequence variation
Single-species alignments, which contained fewer gaps and were therefore shorter, were used to analyse sequence variation, allele frequency spectrum and recombination within species.
short-term variation
Short-term variation would be more marked in the reconstitution data if they were sufficiently abundant to allow estimates to be made for each quinquennium.
significant variation
There was also significant variation between experiments.
size variation
Plant size variation and vertebrate herbivory: winter wheat grazed by rabbits.
slight variation
The mean flow was uniform with only slight variation downstream.
spatial variation
Across the landscape, inherent productivity represents the spatial variation in productivity associated with spatial variation in soils and climate conditions.
stylistic variation
This is again a stylistic variation which is entirely optional.
substantial variation
Even here, however, there is substantial variation within offence type.
subtle variation
There are also volume sliders referring to the same parameters, allowing for a more subtle variation of the texture.
systematic variation
Systematic variation of a probability assessment is no longer necessary.
temporal variation
Temporal variation in alleles frequencies : testing the right hypothesis.
thickness variation
The profiles of the ice thickness variation along the plate were also made using the traversingsystem.
tonal variation
If variation and change of the rising tones may be sociolinguistic in nature, how extensive is this tonal variation across the community?
tremendous variation
The figure clearly reveals a tremendous variation in cause of death by year.
velocity variation
This magnitude of mean velocity variation corresponded to a mean shear rate of 0.87 s-l.
wide variation
There is also wide variation in clinical procedures among hospitals.
year-to-year variation
Compared to seed production, annual recruitment was very low and showed large year-to-year variation.
