The phrase "and the third experiments" is not correct in standard written English.
It may be used when referring to a specific set of experiments, but it requires proper context to be clear and grammatically correct.
Example: "In our study, we conducted two preliminary tests, and the third experiments focused on the long-term effects."
Alternatives: "and the third experiment" or "and the third set of experiments".
The second and the third experiments manipulated the density of the local elements (Experiment 2) and the size of the global and local shapes of the stimuli (Experiment 3) to assess whether these variables could affect global or local perception of hierarchical visual patterns in fish.
We extend it by: i) providing an example to illustrate the impacts of external factors over the techniques; ii) considering two more techniques in the second and third performed experiments (in the original paper, only ART_Jac and STOOP are considered); and iii) replicating the second and the third experiments, using new samples, better explained in the correspondent sections.
The second variable is the requirement to explicitly recognize self stimuli, which characterizes the second, but not the first and the third experiments.
Then the designed prototype and the first experiments are presented demonstrating the novelty and the efficiency of our solution.
The first and the second experiments were performed at the sub-equatorial station Natal (35°14'W, 5°55'S) and the third one at the equatorial station Alcântara (2°19'S, 44°22W).
Despite this significant difference, mean percent differences between uncorrected and corrected SUVmean in the first and the second experiments were -3.61 and -1.78, respectively.
We wanted to see the difference between these two different kinds of polarity shifting, so we performed the first and the second experiments.
Four-view videos were used in each experiment; full spatial-resolution frames and low spatial-resolution frames were used in the base view for the first and the second experiments, respectively.
IBP contributed to the development of this study and to the first experiments.
The first experiment was designed to coincide with a period of high evaporative demand and the second experiment with a period of low evaporative demand.
