Commonly-used electrical appliances emit impulsive noise ( for example, hair dryers ) and the argument was successfully made that the noise floor would not be raised excessively by wider deployment of wideband transmitters using low power.

Commonly-used interfaces include RS232, USB, GPIB and Ethernet.

Commonly-used testosterone replacement therapies include transdermal ( through the skin ) using a patch or gel, injections, or pellets.

Commonly-used containers in this genre include cups, beakers, bowls, and wine or cocktail glasses.

For Euclid ’ s method to succeed, the starting lengths must satisfy two requirements: ( i ) the lengths must not be 0, AND ( ii ) the subtraction must be “ proper ”, a test must guarantee that the smaller of the two numbers is subtracted from the larger ( alternately, the two can be equal so their subtraction yields 0 ).

As widespread inefficiencies in numbering ( such as the assignment of entire blocks of 10000 numbers to every competing carrier in every small village to support local number portability schemes ) have created shortages of available numbers, these prefixes are often " reclaimed " and issued as standard exchanges, moving the handful of numbers in them to one standard test exchange ( usually 958 ).

Conversely, a standard line on which voice service has been unsubscribed ( such as an ADSL dry loop ) may still accept calls to the 958 test exchange but not allow calls to standard numbers.

if a prefix outside the 958 or 959 range is listed as a test exchange, these may be reclaimed and issued as standard numbers at a later date.

NANPA's utilised codes report will indicate ' UA ' ( unassignable ) for valid test prefixes ; if a formerly ' UA ' code newly appears on the available list or becomes an active exchange, any former test numbers from its time as a reserved prefix are presumable as invalid and deprecated.

N11 prefixes such as 211, 311 and 511 are also often disappearing as test numbers as these codes are reassigned to local services such as community information, city hall, road conditions or non-emergency police inquiries.

The current use of exchange prefixes for each area code is listed by CNAC ; if an exchange changes from " plant test " to reclaimed or active, any former test numbers with the associated prefix are invalidated.

In some applications it is useful to be able to compute the Bernoulli numbers B < sub > 0 </ sub > through B < sub > p − 3 </ sub > modulo p, where p is a prime ; for example to test whether Vandiver's conjecture holds for p, or even just to determine whether p is an irregular prime.

Carmichael numbers are important because they pass the Fermat primality test but are not actually prime.

Since Carmichael numbers exist, this primality test cannot be relied upon to prove the primality of a number, although it can still be used to prove a number is composite.

For example, there are 20, 138, 200 Carmichael numbers between 1 and 10 < sup > 21 </ sup > ( approximately one in 50 billion numbers ).< ref name =" Pinch2007 "> Richard Pinch, " The Carmichael numbers up to 10 < sup > 21 </ sup >", May 2007 .</ ref > This makes tests based on Fermat's Little Theorem slightly risky compared to others such as the Solovay-Strassen primality test.

The best method presently known for testing the primality of Mersenne numbers is the Lucas – Lehmer primality test.

When the coefficients belong to a finite field or are rational numbers, there are algorithms to test irreducibility and to compute the factorization into irreducible polynomials.

Algorithms that are much more efficient than trial division have been devised to test the primality of large numbers.

Critics have argued that if the test subjects are unable to count for some other reason ( perhaps because they are nomadic hunter / gatherers with nothing to count and hence no need to practise doing so ) then one should not expect their language to have words for such numbers.

* Direct Access Test Unit, special numbers used to test telephone exchanges

The tests are the monobit test ( equal numbers of ones and zeros in the sequence ), poker test ( a special instance of the chi-squared test ), runs test ( counts the frequency of runs of various lengths ), longruns test ( checks whether there exists any run of length 34 or greater in 20 000 bits of the sequence ) — both from BSI2 ( AIS 20, v. 1, 1999 ) and FIPS ( 140-1, 1994 ), and the autocorrelation test.

This first test is being leased for ten years but future projects will require at least 15 years.

The x-ray data did not permit Douglass to determine uniquely the space group, but a negative test for piezoelectricity led him to assume a center of symmetry.

The saline tubes were saved and used for the indirect Coombs test in the following manner.

In all cases the activity against Af cells was spread over a wider area than that with Af cells, regardless of the type of test ( saline, albumin, indirect Coombs ) used for comparison.

In 1913 an abortive provision was made for the stay of federal injunction proceedings upon institution of state court test cases.

And the monastic communities were supposed to be made up of volunteers selected only after a novitiate which would test their religious aptitude for monastic rigors, their spiritual athleticism.

This test method is intended for determining the dimensional changes of woven or knitted fabrics, made of fibers other than wool, to be expected when the cloth is subjected to laundering procedures commonly used in the commercial laundry and the home.
