Ultimately, by utilizing both artificial and biological sounds, predictability may be masked or offset, so that habituation is delayed and more effective deterrents may be produced.
That sounds like blue-state predictability, until you get to the governor's race, for which the poll showed a dead heat between the Republican, Rob McKenna, at 46 percent of likely voters, and the Democrat, Jay Inslee, at 47 percent, with a margin of sampling error of four percentage points.
The whole idea of regional climate prediction that has come to the fore mainly because of need/demand is not based on sound science owing to fundamental predictability issues.
These clusters included the Health Cluster, whose main objectives were to provide health leadership for emergency preparedness, response and recovery; prevent and reduce emergency related morbidity and mortality; ensure evidence based health actions, gap filling and sound coordination; and enhance accountability, predictability and effectiveness of humanitarian health action [ 16].
Predictability of masking sounds may reduce backward masking (that caused by noise following the signal) due to a learning effect (Kidd and Feth 1982; Moore 2003, pp. 107 116), which in turn may favor speech perception.
It can be speculated that the P2 suppression may be a correlate of the conscious predictability of the sounds, whereas the N1 suppression is related to the corollary discharge or efference copy transmitting the predicted sensory consequences of the motor command.
Only a week earlier, he had said: "What the railway industry needs most is stability, predictability, clarity of responsibility, sound incentives and an overall environment which is friendly to investment".The contempt with which Mr Byers treated the men the government had appointed to run Britain's railways was born of frustration.
We describe how the behavior change management framework can be applied to inform the design of theoretically and empirically sound behavior change interventions with greater precision, predictability and pace towards reduction in neonatal mortality.
Such a situation, he argued, would undermine the predictability and uniformity of a sound legal system.
The review raises the question whether predictability of such self-generated sounds may boost the evolution of entrainment to external rhythms, and whether that in turn may advance vocal learning abilities.
