These results suggest that target feature selection operates by means of electrocortical facilitation of feature-specific sensory processes, and that selective electrocortical facilitation is more effective when stimulus saliency is heightened.
Overproduction of young may increase parental fitness, either by allowing the mother to take advantage of a sudden increase in resource availability (when raising extra young is suddenly affordable), by means of sibling facilitation, or by the availability of "extras" to replace offspring that die or develop poorly (Mock and Forbes 1995; Mock and Parker 1997, 1998; Forbes and Mock 1998).
To proceed, we first calculate 〈 F R + ( r ) 〉, the mean of the facilitation variable immediately aftervesicle release.
The difference in mean firing rate of facilitation versus suppression PTNs in observation was around 5 spikes/s/PTN.
For the implementation of NDT in daily practice this means that a large repertoire of facilitation techniques like handling are used to reduce atypical functional activities and to prepare the infant for optimally independent function (unpublished data Dirks et al).. Due to the different influences which are incorporated in TIP a large heterogeneity in treatment application exists [ 25].
As a means of distinguishing between statistical facilitation in the UCIP model and actual processing speed-ups with multiple channels, Miller (1982) established an upper bound on performance for the UCIP model, known as the race-model inequality.
The increased variability of synaptic transmissiondue to facilitation is more than countered by the effect of facilitation on mean synaptictransmission, which enhances the robustness of bistability, leading to stable memory stateswith fewer neurons.
Despite the importance of networks as a means for information facilitation, Newman and Dale (2005) and Bodin et al. (2006) argue that "not all social networks are created equal".
Although we did not specifically address the means by which facilitation might be conferring community-level stability in this experiment, it is likely that facilitation among detritivores underlie some of the positive effects of increasing functional group richness on community and functional group abundances that we observed.
As Chambers (2006, p. 1) emphasized, "The medium and means of mapping, whether ground, paper or GIS, and the mode of facilitation influence who takes part, the nature of outcomes and power relationships.
The objective of the trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of an educationally based intervention (IPB) with or without facilitation, as a means of changing behaviours to improve fire safety in the home.
