Given the high cost and complexity of prospective, longitudinal investigations, cross-sectional pilot studies focusing on highly exposed individuals can be valuable for the initial identification of salient domains of impairment.
With this goal, the present study targeted the initial, automatic discrimination of emotionally salient stimuli.
P is for Primes, the initial stage of sleep, whose most salient characteristic is the annoyance it causes in the outside worldNdogs barking, Messianists preaching on sidewalks, etc. Sigismund (S) is the second, contractive stage in which the body loses as much as an inch in length and four pounds in weight.
The initial assaults were extremely successful, creating a salient some fifty miles wide and forty-five miles deep, and by 23 December German units were advancing towards Dinant.
According to this idea, the presence of a salient distractor might slow the initial deployment of attention, which would result in behavioural distractor costs even in the absence of attentional capture.
During the initial phase of analysis, while reading through the interviews, the salient topics and the recurring perceptions, attitudes, and experience of the HCPs were organized in a meaningful way.
Hardness and resistivity measurements after isothermal hold-and-quench experiments were used to identify salient temperatures for zero, partial and full dissolution of the initial hardening precipitates, and the extent of softening – both immediately after welding, and after natural ageing.
After half the interviews had been conducted, the authors began the initial process of reading the transcripts, and met to discuss the most salient observations and to develop the initial coding framework.
The initial presentation of patients with WNV encephalitis and/or myelitis in this study demonstrated several salient characteristics of the neurological profile associated with this disease.
Such time penalty for the initial version of our algorithm is mainly due to the optical flow computation, especially if highly textured salient regions are represent in the initial scene.
