Other methods can also be applied to determine the value of the concentration threshold such as referring to the performance of specific statistical models. More population-based studies in various regions using their specific air pollution threshold are recommended, and future studies are required to further explore the determination of the concentration threshold of air pollution. 3, record 1, English, - air%20pollution%20threshold

One of the early and fundamental modifications of the basic neural element proposed by Widrow. The Adaline has provisions for independent adjustment of each of the weights on the input to the threshold sections.

By contrast, the performance of an FM system deteriorates rapidly after falling below a certain threshold. Phase-modulated signals, when properly processed, require less bandwidth and can be coded using pseudo-noise and spread-spectrum techniques, thus reducing the chance of enemy detection. 1, record 7, English, - pseudo%2Dnoise

Les ingénieurs de Hughes ont découvert qu'avec cette méthode l'image de télévision s'affaiblit graduellement à mesure qu'augmente l'intensité du signal de brouillage, alors que les performances d'un système utilisant la technique FM se dégradent rapidement lorsqu'elles sont tombées au-dessous d'un certain seuil. Les signaux modulés en phase, lorsqu'ils sont convenablement traités, exigent une moins grande largeur de bande et peuvent être codés au moyen des techniques de pseudo-bruit et d'étalement de spectre, ce qui diminue les risques de détection par l'ennemi. 1, record 7, French, - pseudo%2Dbruit
