Abstract:
Abstract. Thresholds can be used to interpret environmental data in a way that is easily communicated and useful for decision-making purposes. However, thresholds are often developed for specific data products and time periods, changing findings when the same threshold is applied to datasets or periods with different characteristics. Here, we test the impact of different spatial discretizations of snow on annual estimates of wolverine denning opportunities in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, defined using a snow water equivalent (SWE) threshold (0.20 m) and threshold date (15 May) from previous h

Abstract:
This study used a Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the reliability of pure tone audiometry while incorporating information about the population distribution of thresholds. Results confirm that audiometric error (outcome threshold minus modeled threshold) is symmetric when simulated data are binned by modeled threshold. However, when data are binned by outcome threshold, the error depends on the relative distribution of modeled thresholds. When a realistic distribution is used, outcome thresholds of 0 dB HL show the lowest error rate. Bins with outcome thresholds <0 dB HL show a negati

Our conclusion is that, in most cases, the increase in pain threshold is the result of ‘attitude’ and not of alterations in brain function.

Abstract:
Perceptual thresholds are known to vary across the foot sole, despite a reported even distribution in cutaneous afferents. Skin mechanical properties have been proposed to account for these differences; however, a direct relationship between foot sole afferent firing, perceptual threshold, and skin mechanical properties has not been previously investigated. Using the technique of microneurography, we recorded the monofilament firing thresholds of cutaneous afferents and associated perceptual thresholds across the foot sole. In addition, receptive field hardness measurements were taken to inves

Patterns of threshold distributions for single-cycle sinusoidal electrical stimulation and single pulse electrical stimulation were compared in primary auditory cortex of the adult cat. Furthermore, the effects of auditory deprivation on these distributions were evaluated and compared across three groups of adult cats. Threshold distributions for single and multiple unit responses from the middle cortical layers were obtained on the ectosylvian gyrus in an acutely implanted animal; 2 wk after deafening and implantation (short-term group); and neonatally deafened animals implanted following 2–5

Abstract:
We investigated if the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) threshold is as sensitive as the lactate threshold to detect training differences. Lactate and RPE thresholds were identified in well-trained cyclists and physically active males. Power output was higher in well-trained cyclists than in physically active individuals for both thresholds (p < 0.05). Our results suggest that RPE threshold is successful in discriminating differences between well-trained cyclists and physically active individuals.

Abstract:
The Linear Threshold Model is a widely used model that describes how information diffuses through a social network. According to this model, an individual adopts an idea or product after the proportion of their neighbors who have adopted it reaches a certain threshold. Typical applications of the Linear Threshold Model assume that thresholds are either the same for all network nodes or randomly distributed, even though some people may be more susceptible to peer pressure than others.

Abstract. We propose an original approach to develop rainfall thresholds to be used in civil protection warning systems for the occurrence of landslides at regional scale (i.e. tens of thousands kilometres). A purposely developed software is used to define statistical intensity-duration rainfall thresholds by means of an automated and standardized analysis of rainfall data. The automation and standardization of the analysis brings several advantages that in turn have a positive impact on the applicability of the thresholds to operational warning systems.

Abstract:
Otsu’s function measures the properness of threshold values in multilevel image thresholding. Optimal threshold values are necessary for some applications and a global search algorithm is required. Differential evolution (DE) is an algorithm that has been used successfully for solving this problem. Because the difficulty of a problem grows exponentially when the number of thresholds increases, the ordinary DE fails when the number of thresholds is greater than 12. An improved DE, using a new mutation strategy, is proposed to overcome this problem. Experiments were conducted on 20 real images a

Abstract:
Gap detection is a commonly used measure of temporal resolution, although the mechanisms underlying gap detection are not well understood. To the extent that gap detection depends on processes within, or peripheral to, the auditory brainstem, one would predict that a measure of gap threshold based on the auditory brainstem response (ABR) would be similar to the psychophysical gap detection threshold. Three experiments were performed to examine the relationship between ABR gap threshold and gap detection. Thresholds for gaps in a broadband noise were measured in young adults with normal hearing

This study focuses on establishing the theoretical foundation for the concept of capital structure thresholds. By synthesizing key financial theories and prior empirical studies, the paper explains the existence of threshold effects in the relationship between capital structure and firm value. It argues that the impact of financial leverage on firm value may vary across different levels of debt. At low levels of leverage, the effect may be positive due to the tax shield benefits; however, beyond a certain threshold, rising financial costs and bankruptcy risks may outweigh the benefits, thereby
