Fine structure of distributions in measurements of different processes as affected by geophysical and cosmophysical factors

The description of procedure of analyzing of similarity of histograms obtai ned from experimental time series is described. The biochemical and chemica l kinetics, the electrophoretic mobility of cells and particles, water prot ons cross-relaxation time, neon lamp discharge time, earth crust vibrations , gravitational field gradient and the intensity of radioactive decay of di fferent isotopes were measured by suitable methods. As result of long-term measurements (during 1955-1997) of fluctuation distributions the existence of universal cosmophysical "force" was proved. This force determines at eac h time moment the current spectrum of discrete characteristics of different nature processes (the form of appropriate histograms). Performing measurem ents at different locations (in Pushchino, Moscow, Leningrad, Tomsk, on the coast of White Sea, aboard in Pacific and Indian oceans) it was shown that the form of appropriate histograms changes there simultaneously. The "life time" and the periodicity of the given form appearance exist - in the serie s of subsequent histograms the given histogram is the most probably similar to the nearest neighbors and repeats after 24 hours, 27 days and about 365 days. The changes of histogram forms in time and their similarity in the m easurements of different nature processes and at different geographical loc ations are the evidence of the existence of common cosmophysical (cosmogoni c) source of the discussed phenomena.
