• My verification of a model for solar activity (the first proposed as soon as the sunspot cycle was discovered ~150 years ago, and proposed-refuted every 10-20 years since).  If I remember correctly, I've done a couple of notes on this, of which one is :
  
• 21Aug08 Solar activity, climate and history over the last 7 ky using Charvatova's hypothesis and 14C & 10Be radio-isotopes - Will we be able to forecast solar activity 3,000 years into the future?? Climate?? The course of human history?? Probably not with what we have at hand, but we can try.
  This paper and its supporting files are in a very incomplete, preliminary draft. However, Figure A.2 in Appendix A is especially interesting, as it suggests at least a "phase synchronization" between Solar Inertial Motion (SIM) and solar activity, with the 2,402.2 year Charvatovan "long cycle".
• My father & I (acknowleged in Yaskell's book as "the two fools who rushed in" - I like that label) [naive, one-dimensional, lunatic] theory of 7.5 ky history based on grand solar episodes (max and min).  No written test, just a chart.  I stopped as it doesn't account for the near-instantaeous 40 to 95% killed-offs and complete societal disappearances in whole regions of Earth once in a while.  Giant chart :
  
• 27Sep09 The Sun and civilisations - Echos of the 2012 end of the Mayan calendar Great Cycle of 5,126 years? - Here is a revised, high-detail chart relating the sun-barycenter hypothesis for solar activity to the rise and fall of civilisations. Radioisotopes carbon 14 (C14) and berylium 10 (Be10) are used as proxies for solar activity. (Note: slight upgrade 04Oct09 - put in radial graphs and table of climate/temperature periods).
  It is interesting to note that the Mayan Great Cycle period of roughly 5,126 years is one-quarter of the Mayan Grand Cycle of 25,630 years, which is approximately the precessional cycle of the Earth's axis, which is one of three cycles commonly associated with Milankovic cycles (Earth orbit eccentricity (~100 ky and 400 ky), Earth axis obliquity (40+ ky) and precession (26 ky)).

Of course, there are many other "cycle-related" themes, including advanced control theorms for memristor networks with [discrete AND continuous] time delays (I peer review only), and my own MindCode project (epi-DNA basis for neuron function), although cycles are only a small (or tiny) part of those.

COMMENT on my signature block, which is-but-isn't a joke :  I don't always send it for casual, "empty" emails, but I will for anything with content, and still repeat it occasionally with long-time contacts, such as colleagues on conference committees, at work, scientists with whom I am discussing themes, etc, etc.
- I'm "Mr." Howell, because everyone kept calling me "Dr." or "Professor", and I'm neither.  Many still
  address me that way even after they see my signature block (which they obviously don't pay attention to).
- It was consistently scaring me that experts in a field were sometimes taking what I was saying too literally. 
  I'd far rather they ignore me, and think that I am a "bullshitter and heretic" than take me too seriously,
  fail to check on my rantings, and be misled in consequence.  My self-designated titles must turn many off,
  which isn't good - but it's far better than the possibility of somehow misleading people. 
  Not to say that there isn't more than just an element of truth in the titles...
