as noted, shut-downs have occurred. One possibility would be to create an inflation adjusted price threshold that would have to be exceeded for the tax to be imposed. The goal would be to set the threshold price close to but sufficiently above a shut-down price (due to the tax) such...
A total of 274 primary care physicians were also surveyed. Physicians reported that they screen more frequently than in the past and initiate drug therapy at a lower threshold. Despite improving trends in detection, treatment, and follow-up for elevated blood cholesterol in the general pop...
Ottoe skipper at Hole-in-the-Mountain vs. Prairie Coteau; Poweshiek at Bicentennial and Blazing Star vs. Glacial Lakes). No positive thresholds were identified for specialists, while both positive and negative thresholds occurred for common species, although fewer distinct threshold patterns were appar...
1. All blobs whose area (area of polygon which is the intersection of the projected blob onto ground and head planes) exceeds an area threshold are classified either as a group or as a large object (i.e., a bus or a car). According to one example, the area threshold is selected as...
Controlled release systems have distinct advantages over conventional drug therapies. Conventional systemic therapies go through a cycle in which the concentration of the drug steadily increases upon ingestion of the drug, peaks and subsequently declines over time. Each drug has an upper threshold over ...
13.The system of claim 10 wherein the processor is configured to apply a threshold T2* value correlated to damage to tissue to at least one of the T2* maps and the 2-D flattened image. 14.The system of claim 13 wherein the processor is further configured to calculate a threshold-based...
Without loss of generality, we assume that P0=E8, and tr{CHC)}=1; i.e., the total transmitted power is E8 per symbol. An optimization problem can be formulated as: Copt=argmin Ps, bound. C; tr{CHC}=1 (1.28) For any matrix, we perform the singular value decomposition ...
The complex salts of the invention are useful as personal and badge monitors, threshold monitors, optical waveguide sensors, chemical field effect transistors, and in related monitoring applications, even when the monitors are wet or subjected to moisture. In all cases, at least a portion of the...

FIG. 2 is a graph illustrating the product of the loss coefficient (α) and the full width at half maximum intensity (FWHM) of the desired optical mode (TE polarized for the prototypes described herein) as a function of the thickness of the ZnSe layers 14 and 16 (FIG. 1). To minimize...
