An extraterrestrial civilization may choose to communicate with humanity by means of artifacts or probes rather than by radio, for various reasons.
According to Tough, an extraterrestrial civilization might want to send various types of information to humanity by means of artifacts, such as an Encyclopædia Galactica, containing the wisdom of countless extraterrestrial cultures, or perhaps an invitation to engage in diplomacy with them.
The artifact regions on the attenuation maps can be assigned soft tissue attenuation values as a means of reducing artifact severity, as suggested in [12], but further work is necessary to confirm the absence of bias.
The mean numbers of artifact-free trials were as follow: therapy group/session 1: spider = 27, neutral = 27, disgust = 26, fear = 28; therapy group/session 2: spider = 26, neutral = 26, disgust = 26, fear = 27; waiting-list group/session 1: spider = 27, neutral = 27, disgust = 27, fear = 28; waiting-list group/session 2: spider = 28, neutral = 27, disgust = 28, fear = 28.

The digging consists of the removal of surplus dirt and the painstaking examination, through observation, sifting, and other means, of remaining soil, artifacts, and context.
We demonstrate that by means of "advisory information artifacts" civil servants can become expert advisors and eventually provide citizens with superior advisory services.
This QM has been found to be a useful and reliable means of detecting measurement artifacts and reducing their influence in subsequent analysis.
An automatized artifact correction was applied on EEG epochs starting 500 ms prior and 1500 ms following picture onset by means of "statistical correction of artifacts in dense array studies" (SCADS; [70]).
In this study, we investigated the use of a conductive shield layer (CSL) as a means of reducing the artifact noise recorded by nerve cuff electrodes.
We recommend using breathhold sequences wherever possible since they are the most effective means of eliminating motion artifact.
