"She said in light of the circumstances we should look at other ways of financing energy efficiency with the stimulus money," said Ben Pearlman, a commissioner in Boulder County.
The efficiency of stimulus spending may be questionable, "but how efficient do you expect stimulus money to be?" He thinks growth could remain at 7-8% for a long time.The bears' grumblesBut many analysts are far less sanguine.
Clearly, the present data point to the efficiency of stimulus encoding in visual perception.
If replicable across a wide range of tasks, our finding provides a critical temporal constraint for theories of top-down and bottom-up interactions as well as novel insights about the efficiency of stimulus encoding.
Dreamlike experiences induced by trances, delirium, or drug hallucination seem to stem from impairments to the central nervous system that lower the efficiency of processing sensory stimuli from the external environment.
But as with other parts of the stimulus package, the efficiency plan is creating tension between spending the money quickly, to get rapid economic stimulus, and spending it well, to do the most good over the long run.
Mello-Thoms et al. (2012) operationalised the efficiency of the diagnostic path in terms of stimulus coverage: the part of the image that was displayed per magnification range.
The SSI measure, in contrast to the global measure of average mutual information, can characterize the noise benefits in finer detail for describing the enhancement of neuronal encoding efficiency of a particular stimulus, which may be of general utility in the design and implementation of a SSR coding scheme.
Some of the stimulus dollars for federal building efficiency are still being awarded by the General Services Administration.
Examples of the order of events for trials in each session are presented in Figure 3. Efficiency of learning stimulus-response associations was measured by calculating the slope of learning in Session 1. Session 1 was divided into 12 discrete blocks of 18 trials.
