The phrase "a brief time interval" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a short duration of time between two events or actions.
Example: "The meeting will take place after a brief time interval following the presentation."
Alternatives: "a short duration" or "a quick period".
Thus, the fluctuation of electrons makes molecules time-varying dipoles, even though the average of this instantaneous polarization over a brief time interval may be zero.
Fig. 8 The distributions of action values over a brief time interval of 20 ms for all reliable SEEs.
Notice that the average action level of reliable SEEs (thick solid curve) during a brief time interval (say 20 ms long) before the spiking threshold is significantly higher than the corresponding average action level of unreliable SEEs (thin solid curve) for both the Type I and Type II models.
Previous molecular studies have firmly established that the crested newt radiation occurred in a brief time interval.
From the items revised following cognitive interviews, reliability testing was conducted to ascertain response consistency over a brief time interval.
The results were slightly better in students who had a brief time interval between the teaching and the test, but this was not a significant confounder (The Pearson correlation coefficient r = -0.24 between individual score sum and time interval (p = 0.16)).
The appearance of a large number of clades in a geologically brief time interval is congruent with the difficulty to resolve phylogenetic relationships of the percomorph "bush".
As far as QoL issues are concerned, a gradual, progressive improvement of GHS was observed within the first year from diagnosis, with stable levels at 24-month evaluation, suggesting that cervical cancer patients require a relatively brief time interval to come and accommodate with their illness, adjusting personal internal standard for QoL measures.
For the EIF and QIF models, Fourcaud-Trocmé and Brunel [27] have found that, in the low noise regime, the slope of the firing rate increases during the brief time interval immediately after a sudden jump in mean is slower than the corresponding increase for a jump in noise, and that the reverse is true in high noise conditions.
Such very brief time intervals might call for a special retinal encoding mechanism that results in synchronous firing of retinal ganglion cells.
Alternatively, computerized test assessments that provide frequent serial measurements of intra-individual performance over brief time intervals may be uniquely suited for detecting subtle changes in cognitive functioning over the course of a clinical trial.
