Theoretical considerations suggest that consciousness depends on the brain's ability to support complex activity patterns that are, at once, distributed among interacting cortical areas(integrated) and differentiated in space and time(information-rich). We introduce and test a theory-driven index of the level of consciousness called the perturbational complexity index(PCI)... PCI reliably discriminated the level of consciousness in single individuals during wakefulness, sleep, and anesthesia, as well as in patients who had emerged from coma and recovered a minimal level of consciousness. PCI can potentially be used for objective determination of the level of consciousness at the bedside.  3, record 5, English, - perturbational%20complexity%20index

If it is important, the individual will do it-consistently and do it to the best of their ability. A number of different versions are available based of the job on the respondent.

Cow evaluations for milk and fat yield are expressed in breed-class average units(BCA) as estimated transmitting ability(ETA) or one-half the additive genetic value of the cow. A majority(about 59%) of the cow indexes are negative which is a consequence of typing the cow indexes across herds through common usage of AI sires. The genetic base used for expression of sire evaluation is such that the average proof of multi-herd use(five or more) sires is zero for bulls whose first daughter freshened within the past five years. As there is a time lag for dissemination of their genetics into the cow population, the average cow index will therefore be less than zero if genetic progress is being made.  1, record 11, English, - additive%20genetic%20value
