By referring to Figs. 1, and 2, it will be seen that the spiking pieces are all in place along the edges of the " tees " of beams and girders.1912 March, Francis W. Wilson, “Structural Details of Skeleton Frame Construction”, in The Cement Age; a Magazine Devoted to the Uses of Cement, page 130:

Associated with or causing one or more sudden sharp increases.

The presence of background material often increases the difficulty level for analysis because the background may hide the spiking chemicals or may even react with the spiking chemicals.2005, Markku Mesilaakso, Chemical Weapons Convention Chemicals Analysis, page 94:
The spikes in every 2 x 2 non-overlapping region of the convolutional maps are summed up and normalized by the kernel size (4 for a 2 x 2 kernel) to produce the pooled output maps, which are then fed to a layer of Integrate and Fire (IF) spiking neurons to generate the pooled spike maps.2020, Gopalakrishnan Srinivasan, Kaushik Roy, “ReStpCMet: Residual Stochastic Binary Convolutional Spiking Neural Network for Memory-Efficient Neuromorphic Computing”, in Guoqi Li, Yam Song (Yansong) Chua, Haizhou Li, editor, Spiking Neural Network Learning, Benchmarking, Programming and Executing, page 46:

You're looking for reported cases of suspected poisonings, drink-spikings leading to illness or death, unexplained deaths that could have been down to poison, anything like that.2012, Barry Maitland, Dark Mirror, page 18:
