Depending on the spike-generation process, increases or decreases in the saturation current foster temperature compensation.
One hypothesis is that a change in the half-maximum sound intensity of the transduction process could foster temperature compensation in firing rate.
Moreover, additional nonlinear processing by static nonlinearities (here interpreted as the transduction process involving the tympanal membrane, but on a wider scope also reflecting properties of synaptic transmission) may foster temperature compensation, if well matched with the temperature dependence of spike generation.
This dynamic has fostered excessive compensation and other ills.
Firing rate-based information transfer is likely to increase with temperature and we derive predictions for an optimal temperature dependence of the tympanal transduction process fostering temperature compensation.
Fostering the mechanical compensation paradigm, the modeled optical system, composed by 14 lenses, separated in 4 different sets, had a total length of 15.55 mm, an effective focal length ranging from 1.5 to 4.5 mm with a zoom factor of about 2.8×, and an angular field of view up to 56°.
Economic compensations, for example, in the form of extra payments or bonuses are common extrinsic rewards to foster and recompense a desired behavior.
They are instructed in applying the theory of successful aging as "selective optimization with compensation" to foster effective coping and adaptation among recently diagnosed late-stage cancer patients through end of life.
The executives, Charles O. Prince III, the former chief executive of Citigroup; E. Stanley O'Neal, the former chief executive of Merrill Lynch; and Angelo Mozilo, the founder and chief executive of Countrywide Financial, dismissed suggestions that they had reaped lavish compensation while fostering the spread of risky subprime lending.
