In this sense, the Goal is always the closest candidate as the Probe searches downward, as shown in Fig. 1.
The peak-detection algorithm, part of a freely available Matlab toolbox (http://www.wam.umd.edu/∼toh/spectrum/PeakFindingandMeasurement.htm), functions by searching for downward zero-crossings in the smoothed first-derivative of the power spectrum that exceed given slope and amplitude thresholds, which were manually set on the basis of a subset of the intracranial EEG power spectra.
Neurologic examination revealed left homonymous lateral hemianopia, mild difficulty in searching words, mild pronation and downward drift of the right arm.
Political scientists are also watching Anthony Weiner's downward spiral and shaking their heads, searching for analogs in the annals of N.Y.C. politics.
In addition to searching for molecular correlates of higher-level phenomena (downward-looking episodes), there also have been attempts to understand the role of molecular mechanisms in complex higher-level phenomena (upward-looking periods of research).
His camera sweeps along the ground as if searching for something, or, more frequently, it rises rapidly into the air while gazing downward — the receding ground might have been photographed from the space shuttle as it took off.
The most efficient way of performing a cancellation task is to start searching at an extremity (e.g., the left), and proceed with the search in one general direction (e.g., rightward or downward), alternating moving up and down on the perpendicular direction (e.g., upward and downward, or leftward and rightward), as is depicted in Fig. 5a.
Searching, searching, searching.
I was actually going to write this as a minute-by-minute diary, until I realised that all it would say was "ran down the stairs; got distracted mid-stair; ran back upstairs, heard baby, ran downstairs, saw baby, baby fine, baby very cute, watched baby for a time, searched mind for purpose of downward journey, remembered it, started off back upstairs... .. and that's eight hours.
Her eyes keep darting downward as she frantically searches for clues on information cards she's holding.
