Abstract
In this paper we present the current research activity of a group formed by researchers at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Biophysics of the Russian Academy of Science (ITEBRAS) in Pushchino, Russia, and at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), Spain. The research is based upon the Shnoll effect which manifests in that the scatter in experimental measurements, i.e. the patterns of the corresponding data histograms, is not entirely random. One manifestation is the existence of stellar and solar daily periods in those histograms. We outline the objectives and means of the research group, the current activity and the provisional results, which basically consist in the development of a new method to analyze the experimental results, and the observation of fluctuations in daily periods according to the yearly seasons, which in turn is hypothesized to be related to tidal forces.
