An attacker can produce a salient in the defender's line by either intentionally making a pincer movement around the flanks of a strong point, which becomes the tip of the salient, or by making a broad, frontal attack which is held up in the centre but advances on the flanks.
In trench warfare, salients are distinctly defined by the opposing lines of trenches and they were commonly formed by the failure of a broad, frontal attack.
In the Yugoslav wars the Medak Pocket was a Serb populated area in Croatia that was invaded by Croatians in September 1993.

  USNews.com: Opinion: Michael Barone: Barone Blog: The Abortion Issue: No Longer Salient?
It seems to me that this vote will tend to reduce the saliency of the abortion issue in national politics–on both the prolife and prochoice sides (I will use those terms, which are preferred by advocates on either side).
Nevertheless the saliency of the issue was increased among prochoice voters by the fact that many legislatures were trying to ban partial-birth abortions as well as require waiting periods for abortions and parental consent for minors' abortions.
From their point of view, it appeared that legislatures were chomping at the bit to ban abortion altogether, and quite reasonably the action of the South Dakota legislature strengthened that impression.

Full attention is assigned to a salient feature of the image by moving the eyes in such a way as to focus that part of the image on the fovea.
The salient still process is directly applicable to the creation of portraits with enhanced sharpness around the features that demand the viewer's attention, e.g., the subject's face.

 The St. Mihiel Salient
Rising terrain made the salient easy for German forces to defend, but it was too narrow for Germany to use as a jump-off point for an offensive.
The salient was 25 miles wide at its base and 15 miles deep, extending from about 10 miles southeast of Verdun to the town of St. Mihiel on the Meuse River.
The mass formations were to alternate their attacks on each side of the salient in what he called "brigade tactics," never allowing the enemy to rest.

 FIRE - Salient Publishes Danish Cartoons
With riots raging across the Muslim world over the publication of Danish cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad, the editors of The Harvard Salient republished four of the cartoons in the paper’s Feb. 8 edition, angering a number of student groups.
Asserting that they would not “[cater] to a sensitivity borne of fear of death that has plagued many would-be critics of Islam,” the editors of the biweekly conservative paper printed the cartoons—including one in which Muhammad’s turban takes the shape of a bomb—juxtaposed with anti-Semitic cartoons from papers in the Middle East.
Responding to the Salient’s decision to print the cartoons, the Harvard College Interfaith Council announced that it would host a forum on Thursday night at 7 p.m.
