This flexible top-down system can provide the necessary organizational input to lower-level domain-specific sensory systems, according to fluctuating task goals (Duncan 2010; Gazzaley and Nobre 2012).
Our argument is developed under the perspective of generative models of functional brain architectures, where higher-level systems provide a prediction of the inputs to lower-level regions.
Such a bias can be obtained by systematic cochlear disparities (i.e., where the contralateral inputs are tuned to lower CFs than the ipsilateral inputs) (Joris et al., 2006).
However anticipated good harvests in the Northern Hemisphere are likely to lower input costs and improve profitability in major end markets.
The ultimate goal of developing such models is to provide a new tool for predicting crop yields that will allow the selection of crops adapted to lower inputs and to particular environmental conditions, while maintaining an acceptable yield.
The impact of soil erosion on annual ecosystem C fluxes was highest for agricultural soils due to lower C input and soil C stocks.
This translates to lower C inputs and higher turnover rates due to high temperature as well as SOC erosion.
In [17], the generalization of frequency-domain adaptive filtering to the partitioning of the adaptive filter is proposed: in this case, the filter length is a positive integer multiple of the block size, which can be opportunely reduced in order to lower the input-output latency.
Microbial biomass and gene expression was also relatively high in the river and plume in August, but for reasons discussed above related to lower nutrient inputs and perhaps also because phytoplankton were abundant during this time, little differential gene expression was observed.
The concentrations of proteins, amino acids and N (which are known to be positively correlated in plants) were found to be lower in organic crops, and this is consistent with the results of previous studies that have linked lower protein concentrations to lower N inputs and N availability in organic crop production systems.
