The whole point of the American political system is its sensitivity to local differences.
Phase cycling is used with the bSSFP sequence to avoid the appearance of characteristic dark banding artifacts that are caused by sensitivity to local field inhomogeneities and which degrade image quality considerably.
A challenge presented by bSSFP, however, is its high sensitivity to local field inhomogeneities.
In Tanzania, intervention activities were divided by gender in Muslim areas, project activities were not provided in mosques, and CM messages were adapted to ensure sensitivity to local Muslim communities, including a suspension of services during Ramadan when requested.
By bringing decision making closer to the people affected, decentralised planning is thought to facilitate sensitivity to local priorities and public involvement [ 3].
Generally speaking, optical sensors of metallic nanoparticles can be achieved by exploiting the sensitivity to local refractive index (n) of the surrounding medium (Δλmax ≈ Δn) or to the plasmon band shift that is caused by the proximity of nanoparticles[21 24].
This task (shown schematically in Figure 1a) was designed to measure viewers' sensitivity to local motion cues that signal the direction an animal is facing.
Questions such as scalability, sequential multistage optimization by automated exploration of model parameter space, the problem of equifinality, and parameter sensitivity to local conditions are explored.
Results from a community survey suggest that citizens' sensitivity to local climate impacts is associated most strongly with their connection to the social meanings that are embedded in the natural landscape.
(19) An in-depth derivation of the distance dependence of nanoparticle sensitivity to local refractive index is available.
