Mr. Weitzman said that the practice is particularly egregious because it comes at a time when the county is in financial distress, and "if the top administrators of the college are manipulating the time system, it sends out a terrible message to everyone else at the college".
By manipulating the time delay and a single feedback gain as bifurcation parameters, sensitive experiments were performed to test the validity of a model that describes the dynamic behavior of the combined components in an experimental gas-phase reactor flow system.
Maybe there's something else going on?" So we decided to manipulate the time of day.
The Doctor temporarily brings the two Amys into the same time stream by having them synchronise their thoughts whilst having Rory manipulate the time engines.
DST has been more popular with urban dwellers than in rural areas, where people have much less freedom in manipulating the time of day they tend to the needs of plants and animals.
Therefore, for example, manipulating the time required to maintain the representation of the standard stimulus in the sensory memory (interval between the consecutive stimuli) may tell if the ERPs to facial expressions are subordinate to the sensory memory, as the MMN has found to be (for the auditory MMN, see e.g. [ 47]; for the visual MMN, see [ 8]).
Two examples of each strategy are discussed: the "balanced placebo design" (BDP) and the "balanced cross-over design" (BCD) and their variants are based on false information, while the "hidden treatment" (HT) and the ""delayed response test" (DRT) are based on manipulating the time of drug action.
These results may be potentially applied in manipulating the time-domain trajectories of the solitons as well as their corresponding frequency-domain positions by engineering the initial first-order phase modulation parameters of the solitons.
The method proposed incorporates an evolutionary process to manipulate the time-series data of the average monthly rainfall recorded by the measuring stations, while the algorithm includes special encoding, initialization, performance evaluation, genetic operations and pattern matching tools for the evolution of the time-series into significantly sampled data.
This type of tradeoff can be experimentally induced in an interrupted data-entry task by extending the resumption lag or manipulating the time-cost penalty (Brumby, Cox, & Back, 2013).
