What's the difference between oscillating and oscillatory?
Oscillating
Definition:
(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Oscillate
(a.) That oscillates; vibrating; swinging.
Example Sentences:

Oscillatory
Definition:
(a.) Moving, or characterized by motion, backward and forward like a pendulum; swinging; oscillating; vibratory; as, oscillatory motion.
Example Sentences:
(1) It is suggested the participation of glycogen (starch) in the self-oscillatory mechanism of the futile cycle formed by the phosphofructokinase and fructose bisphosphatase reactions may give rise to oscillations with the period of 10(3)-10(4) min, which may serve as the basis for the cell clock.

(4) However, in some cells the oscillatory pattern was transformed into a sustained increase of [Ca2+]i at high glucose concentrations.
(5) We conclude that TNF by itself does not give rise to any changes of the cytosolic free [Ca2+] but that the spontaneous oscillatory activity of cytosolic free [Ca2+] in adherent neutrophils is necessary for TNF-induced degranulation.
(6) This inhibitory effect was evident both as a reduction of the number of responding cells and as a reduction of the oscillatory activity in the cells.

(8) Oscillatory potentials found on the ascending phase of the electroretinogram b-wave probably originate in some element(s) of the inner plexiform layer.
(9) The oscillatory activity was not affected by anesthesia, but it was often reduced by tactile stimulation or self-initiated movements.
(10) Addition of Ca2+ to the internal perfusion medium increased the oscillatory rate and buffering of the ion with Indo-1 or EGTA had the opposite effect.
