Karl, M. et al. Optofluidic distributed feedback lasers with evanescent pumping: Reduced threshold and angular dispersion analysis.
Thus, a change in probability of saying 'yes' (tone detected) in the active condition might result in reduced threshold while true hearing sensitivity has not changed.
With that caveat, our results supported the view that optogenetically kindled animals retained a reduced threshold for seizures in the long term, as previously reported for classical kindling1,4,6.
The reduced threshold we observed in the active compared with the passive conditions could, in principle, be the result of a change in subject's criterion rather than a true reduction in hearing sensitivity.
A key feature of Goddard's original model was that kindled animals retained a reduced threshold for seizures in the long term, which he interpreted as a form of memory1.
This structure exhibits increased on-current, reduced threshold voltage, improved sub-threshold swing and increased on off current ratio compared to single-gate architectures.
Introducing SOI substrates and low doped fins results in lower junction capacitance, higher mobility and voltage gain with reduced threshold voltage mismatch.
In his model the physically short crack behavior is obtained from the long crack propagation, just introducing the reduced threshold due to unsaturated closure.
This study was designed to evaluate the effects of a reduced threshold of the fixed automated speed enforcement system on speed and safety on a two-lane rural road.
Because kindled animals retained a reduced threshold for seizures in the long term, Goddard argued that the process was "analogous to learning,"1 as proposed by Donald Hebb2 and others3, suggesting that epilepsy could arise from pathological activity patterns that recruit learning mechanisms in the healthy brain4.
An improved design was obtained by varying the doping profile of the large optical cavity resulting in a 30% reduced threshold current density of 3.4 kA cm−2 at 77 K heatsink temperature.
