Studies show that child maltreatment such as neglect, physical, and / or sexual abuse, as well as having parents with alcohol abuse problems, increases the likelihood of that child developing alcohol use disorders later in life.

This, they argue, can reduce user confusion, while minimizing the likelihood of an error as a result of having too many modeless windows open concurrently.

Through a lifetime, the likelihood for Caucasian females is nearly triple that of their heterosexual counterparts ; however, for black females there is minimal change ( less than 0. 1 to 0. 3 difference ), with heterosexual black females having a slightly higher risk throughout most of the age-based study.

Victims show a high likelihood of dying in their sleep, or of being unable to move once they had caught fire.

Prior experiences of ethnic discrimination increased and therefore decreased the likelihood that Latino immigrants would move from their original neighborhoods, while residing in metropolitan areas with large Latino populations led to geographic moves into " less Anglo " census tracts.

This reduces the likelihood that a patient will be mentally awake, although unable to move because of the paralytic agents.

The increased temperature increases the metabolism of the beetles, causing them to move about more within the spathe and increasing the likelihood they will be sufficiently coated with pollen.

In a surprise career move, despite their strong position and likelihood of promotion, Wise left Leeds in January 2008 to join the newly reshaped management team at Newcastle United in an executive role, tasked with travelling around Europe and further afield identifying young players and developing the academy.

The move was said to reduce the likelihood of a hostile takeover.

Succession may move in unpredicted directions, but constricting environmental conditions within a narrow range may rein in the possible successional trajectories and increase the likelihood of a desired outcome.

This was a strategic move meant to increase the likelihood that the bill would be passed in both the House and the Senate.

Under the storm and closer to where most tornadoes are found, evidence of a supercell and likelihood of a tornado includes inflow bands ( particularly when curved ) such as a " beaver tail ", and other clues such as strength of inflow, warmth and moistness of inflow air, how outflow-or inflow-dominant a storm appears, and how far is the front flank precipitation core from the wall cloud.

Screen writers have to ensure that their stories conform to the guidelines — the closer the conformity, the greater their likelihood of being published.

Feynman suspected that the 1 / 100, 000 figure was wildly fantastical, and made a rough estimate that the true likelihood of shuttle disaster was closer to 1 in 100.

His findings were as anticipated: the more famous the parent ( i. e., the greater level of presumed “ natural ability ”), the greater likelihood there would be illustrious relatives ; and the closer the blood tie, the greater those odds.

The likelihood estimate needs to be as large as possible ; because it's a lower bound, getting closer improves the approximation of the log likelihood.

The conclusion upon this record is inescapable that such likelihood was proved as to this acquisition.
