Exclusion criteria were apparent developmental disorder and severe mental retardation precluding communication and consistent cooperation.
The relevance of precluding communication to neuronal groups representing irrelevant stimulus information has already been pointed out by several authors (Fries 2005; Singer 2011; Palva and Palva 2012) and has been related to oscillatory properties, for example, implemented via an absence of phase consistency between oscillations of different brain areas (Fries 2005).
Even though their language barrier precludes verbal communication, they establish a solid bond.
"Your outrageous comment simply because we disagree on a political matter is unacceptable, and precludes further communication".
Hearing aids work best when the distance between the sound and the listener is less than six feet and when background noise is minimal, which can preclude clear communication in theaters, airports, restaurants and many other social settings.
In keeping with the Dykstra-Parsons model, the reservoir is assumed to occur in discrete layers separated by intercalations of impervious beds which preclude the communication of any vertical pressure gradients.
In the final six hours, however, only 8percentt were awake, 42percentt were drowsy and half were comatose, precluding any further communication.
Indeed, recombinant full-length Arg975Trp metavinculin protein and its tail domain was prone to aggregation and degradation (ESR personal communication) precluding its structure determination.
But their different modes of operation (thinking vs. communication) preclude a direct transfer of information from one system to another.
A lack of clear understanding of critical issues such as workflow variation, resource constraints, communication, etc., precludes us from developing a meaningful understanding of latent factors that cause the sub-optimal performance of an ICU.
Quite apart from being extremely uncomfortable, this would have precluded most forms of communication.
