So far nobody has been hurt by the explosive devices, but intelligence experts say the devices are still dangerous and that serial bombers tend to be, by nature, calculated, attention-seeking, and very unpredictable.
We also calculated the attention modulation index (MIatt) according to: Again, parameter represented either the amplitude, baseline or tuning width.
We thus calculate average attention prediction (bar {A}_{u}(t_{1},t_{2})) of students during the observation time of 480 s and compare those estimates with the reference averages (bar {A}_{u}^{r}(t_{1},t_{2})) computed from reference attention.
For example, for writing signal W u (t), we calculate writing-attention level correspondence A w (l), where l∈{1,3,5} is an attention level: A_{w } l = frac{1}{N_{u} cdot N_{s}} sumlimits_{u=1}^{N_{u}} sumlimits_{t=1}^{N_{s}} W_{u}(t) arrowvert_{A^{r}_{u}(t)=l} (1).
Regardless of whether the substance is accurate, the timing seems calculated to draw attention away from David Anderson's landmark report into the surveillance laws published last Thursday.
Mr. Paladino conceded that some of his bluster was carefully calculated to draw attention to problems — and possible solutions.

Flash mob marriage proposals are a good example of this; they're often wildly popular, shared by millions of people all saying "best thing ever", but you can always find a curmudgeon (usually me) saying, "Ugh, I can't get past the way this is clearly calculated to create attention from strangers".
