1、Two participal phrases ,respectively, led by "determined" and "differing" serve as parenthesis to modify the antecedent-- "local times" and should be paralleled.

2、Here need to a adverbial phrase or a causal clause to  complete the sentence logically,
not a participal phrase indicating  actions has been performed in the past.

i am in hurry. the first sentence is that "determined by when..... and by differing..." here, it modifies "local times". the word "by" is also omited.
