These dynamics determined the recent history of the Olympia.

This is even stronger than saying that the dynamics of the system determine the behaviour of the units, as causes determine their effects, because 'functional' presumably implies something about the purpose of the states' behaviour in achieving equilibrium, thus going beyond mere causal determination.

Evolutionary developmental biology studies how the dynamics of development determine the phenotypic variation arising from genetic variation and how that affects phenotypic evolution (especially its direction).

External Forces And Personality A crucial element in the theory of successive changes in personality, and hence ego modification, was that the dynamics of the society in which a person lived determined to what extent these changes are resolved.

Crashes and panics may affect the tempo of these movements, but they do not appear fundamentally to alter their inner dynamics or their power to determine our long-range future.

From having the whole affair catered to opting for a pitch-in with cold cuts, your budget, schedule and the unique dynamic of your neighborhood will determine how food-focused your bash will be.

If the "what," structured in the world and constituting the already-there, is what gives access to Dasein in the first place, should one not ask whether a dynamic of the "what" determines the most originary sphere?

The dynamics of the mechanical tracking platform combined with the optical imaging system determines the tracking system's ability to keep the lock on a target that changes speed rapidly.

Forcings, feedbacks and the dynamics of the climate system determine how much and how fast the climate changes.

The structural dynamics of cellular processes such as replication and transcription could determine the mechanical properties of DNA.
