Using a simple model, we illustrate how these changes in temporal processing exploit differences in the statistical properties of vocalizations and ambient noises to increase the information in the neural response in a manner consistent with the principles of efficient coding.
The microphone was kept closer to the subjects mouth to reduce the ambient noise and to increase the sound level of the speech signals.
Mice were placed into the center of the open field, and activity was recorded for 30 min. Testing took place under bright ambient light conditions to increase the anxiety component of the center areas of the field (defined as the central 15×15 cm portion).
An increase in ambient temperature leads to increase in metabolic rate, which in turn leads to an increased energy demand.
As an example, an area of ongoing regulatory interest and active research concerns the potential for exposure to ambient air pollutants to increase the incidence of low-birth-weight deliveries (e.g., Chen et al. 2002; Ritz and Yu 1999; Wilhelm and Ritz 2003); research results in U.S. study populations are inconclusive.
Increases in ambient temperature were shown to increase effluent TN and NO3-N concentrations in conventionally drained systems.
A sodium hydroxide pretreatment at ambient temperature was evaluated to increase gold extraction from a high-grade arsenopyrite mineral.
A measure to permit applying evaporative cooling for a wider range of ambient relative humidities is to increase the temperature of air entering the condenser.
With this improvement, the relevant temperature is now that of the inner air, which results 3.4 °C lower than the room ambient temperature, thus expected to increase even more the comfort perceived by the user, with 0.58 of coefficient of performance.
Such condition combining with the poor ambient light is possible to increase crash risk.
