With regard to movement, DNA transposons can be categorized as autonomous and nonautonomous. Autonomous ones can move on their own, while nonautonomous ones require the presence of another transposable element's gene, transposase, to move. There are three main classifications for movement for DNA transposons: "cut and paste," "rolling circle" (Helitrons), and "self-synthesizing" (Polintons). These distinct mechanisms of movement allow them to move around the genome of an organism.

L1s can further impact genome variation by mispairing and unequal crossing-over during meiosis due to its repetitive DNA sequences. L1 gene products are also required by many nonautonomous Alu and SVA SINE retrotransposons. Mutations induced by L1 and its nonautonomous counterparts have been found to cause a variety of heritable and somatic diseases. Human L1 has been reported to have transferred to the genome of the gonorrhea bacteria.

A DNA walker is a class of nucleic acid nanomachines where a nucleic acid "walker" is able to move along a nucleic acid "track". The concept of a DNA walker was first defined and named by John H. Reif in 2003. A nonautonomous DNA walker requires external changes for each step, whereas an autonomous DNA walker progresses without any external changes. Various nonautonomous DNA walkers were developed, for example Shin controlled the motion of DNA walker by using 'control strands' which needed to be manually added in a specific order according to the template's sequence in order to get the desired path of motion.

The P element has found wide use in Drosophila research as a mutagen. The mutagenesis system typically uses an autonomous but immobile element, and a mobile nonautonomous element. Flies from subsequent generations can then be screened by phenotype or PCR. Naturally-occurring P elements contain coding sequence for the enzyme transposase and recognition sequences for transposase action.

The complete element is 2907 bp; non-autonomous P elements contain an internal deletion of varying length which abolishes transposase production, but such elements can still be mobilized if transposase is encoded elsewhere in the genome. P element insertion and subsequent excision results in the production of 8 bp direct repeats, and the presence of such repeats is indicative of previous P element activity. All P elements have a canonical structure containing 31 bp terminal inverted repeats and 11 bp internal inverted repeats located at THAP domain of the transposase. The shorter and longest P elements are nonautonomous elements.

In some situation the model is not very efficient and difficulties can arise if the model has a large number of coefficients and demonstrates a divergent solution. For example, nonautonomous differential equations give the previously described results. In this case the modification of the standard approach in application gives a better way of further development of global vector reconstruction. Usually the system being modeled in this way is a chaotic dynamical system, because chaotic systems explore a large part of the phase space and the estimate of the global dynamics based on the local dynamics will be better than with a system exploring only a small part of the space.

George Birkhoff, Norman Levinson and the pair Mary Cartwright and J. E. Littlewood have applied similar methods to qualitative analysis of nonautonomous second order differential equations. Claude Shannon used symbolic sequences and shifts of finite type in his 1948 paper A mathematical theory of communication that gave birth to information theory. During the late 1960s the method of symbolic dynamics was developed to hyperbolic toral automorphisms by Roy Adler and Benjamin Weiss, and to Anosov diffeomorphisms by Yakov Sinai who used the symbolic model to construct Gibbs measures. In the early 1970s the theory was extended to Anosov flows by Marina Ratner, and to Axiom A diffeomorphisms and flows by Rufus Bowen.

He is currently working as one of the leading scientists in Helmholtz Zentrum München (Institute of Computational Biology). He is Editor in Chief of the International Journal of Biomathematics and Biostatistics, as well as a member of Editorial Boards of many leading international Journals, in particular, such as Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, Glasgow Journal of Mathematics, Journal of Nonautonomous and Stochastic Dynamical Systems, Advances in Mathematical Sciences and Applications, Journal of Coupled Systems and Multiscale Dynamics, American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) – book series Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems etc. He has made many important contributions in nonlinear analysis, topological invariants and global solvability of nonlinear boundary value problems related to pseudodifferential operators, in particular, on global solvability of classical nonlinear Riemann–Hilbert problems.

Ebert concluded that "the great accomplishment of Cochrane's book is to show that there is a coherent, intuitively plausible, and useful notion of animal rights that is firmly rooted in the tangible and avoids the unattractive absolutism of Regan-style rights views". Meijer felt that the book is strong on the application of Cochrane's account, but she expressed concern about Cochrane's rejection of liberty rights for animals, which, she noted, most approaches to animal rights allow. Cochrane's deploys, she noted, a narrow account of animal agency; "it is", she argued, "problematic to view humans as autonomous agents and other animals as nonautonomous others". Cochrane's view of animals as non-autonomous, she argued, is emphasised by the absence of an account of relationships and communication between humans and animals.

Ebert felt that the "rather disconcerting" element of Cochrane's thought concerning nonautonomous humans was dealt with too quickly in the book, saying that "controversy would be certain if infants or the seriously mentally disabled were regarded as property or put up for display in human zoos, regardless of how well they were taken care of. If we believe that human nonpersons have a right not to be treated in such a degrading manner, then so do nonhuman animal nonpersons." Boisseau, too, found the aspect of Cochrane's thought dealing with "people with mental disabilities" to be "objectionable". Clifton approvingly quoted the arguments in Animal Rights Without Liberation concerning animals killed in crop harvest, and observed that, other than a hypothetical openness towards ethically produced eggs and dairy, Cochrane's arguments would seem to favour veganism over vegetarianism.

Therefore, rogue waves are not necessarily the biggest waves found on the water; they are, rather, unusually large waves for a given sea state. Rogue waves seem not to have a single distinct cause, but occur where physical factors such as high winds and strong currents cause waves to merge to create a single exceptionally large wave. Rogue waves can occur in media other than water. They appear to be ubiquitous in nature and have also been reported in liquid helium, in quantum mechanicsRogue quantum harmonic oscillations, Cihan Bayindir, Physica A 547, 124462, 1 June 2020, in nonlinear optics and in microwave cavities, in Bose-Einstein condensationDynamics of nonautonomous rogue waves in Bose–Einstein condensate, Li-Chen Zhao, Annals of Physics 329, 73-79, 2013, in heat and diffusionRogue heat and diffusion waves, Cihan Bayindir, Chaos, Solitons & Fractals 139, 110047, October 2020 and in financeFinancial rogue waves, Yan Zhen-Ya, Communications in Theoretical Physics 54, 5, 2010, just to name a few.
