The amplitudes of the fluctuations are themselves dependent on the macro-variables. It is shown that such random noises can generate temporal oscillations of the macro-variables. This behaviour need not be inherent to the associated deterministic equations. © 1978 Springer-Verlag.text::journal::journal article::research article
