A variety of pathophysiological changes have been postulated to give rise to tinnitus, such as increased burst firing, enhanced neural synchrony, increased spontaneous activity, tonotopic map reorganization, abnormal coupling of networks involving auditory and nonauditory structures, and aberrant consciousness gating mechanisms [ 7].
When Patty dropped cigarette ash in the drink and set it on fire, Homer discovered that fire greatly enhanced the taste of the drink.
Purists will also no doubt say that you can't call it jerk unless it is cooked over live fire and enhanced by its smoke, which can be achieved in a hinged oil drum barbecue (or a Weber if you must).
Specifically, we show that the effect of a warning stimulus on neuronal firing is enhanced after an erroneous response rather than a successful one and that this outcome is correlated with an error rate decrease.
They can also change attitudes toward fire and enhance the social acceptability of using prescribed fire as a management practice.
While fire helps enhance crops and grasses for pasture, it also produces smoke that degrades air quality.
In the second season of "Man vs. Wild," Mr. Grylls came under fire for enhancing reality a bit too much, when a consultant to the show leaked to the press that Mr. Grylls had spent the night at a hotel instead of roughing it in the wilderness, as viewers were led to believe.
But although the toads' predator avoidance tactics around red imported fire ants enhance their chances of survival, too much movement may have a negative effect on their food-finding and reproductive success, according to the study.
These studies are valuable but do not permit examination of the role of fire in enhancing the establishment and growth of new oak seedlings stemming from oak mast events.
In the first approach, polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) is incorporated as an additional filler in polyamide 6/clay nanocomposite to improve the homogeneity of the 'physical' barrier, since POSS transforms to a glassy material upon fire and enhances the coupling of silicate layers to each other.
