Determining the composition of the Memorial depends on the dates of Nehemiah's mission: It is commonly accepted that " Artaxerxes " was Artaxerxes I ( there were two later kings of the same name ), and that Nehemiah's first period in Jerusalem was therefore 445-433 BC ; allowing for his return to Susa and second journey to Jerusalem, the end of the 5th century BC is therefore the earliest possible date for the Memorial.

Determining the satisfiability of a formula in conjunctive normal form where each clause is limited to at most three literals is NP-complete ; this problem is called " 3SAT ", " 3CNFSAT ", or " 3-satisfiability ".

Determining the satisfiability of a formula in which each clause is limited to at most two literals is NL-complete ; this problem is called " 2SAT ".

Determining the satisfiability of a formula in which each clause is a Horn clause ( i. e. it contains at most one positive literal ) is P-complete ; this problem is called Horn-satisfiability.

Determining styles in capoeira is a very tough task, since there was never a unity in the original capoeira, or a teaching method before the decade of 1920.

Determining an instance of the membership problem ; i. e. given a string, determine whether where is the language generated by some grammar ; is also known as parsing.

Determining the presence of both parts of this definition is not always straightforward, as hypoglycemic symptoms and effects are vague and can be produced by other conditions ; people with recurrently low glucose levels can lose their threshold symptoms so that severe neuroglycopenic impairment can occur without much warning, and many measurement methods ( especially glucose meters ) are imprecise at low levels.

Determining how many people died in these massacres overall is difficult.

Determining a precise value for a particular knot is difficult because many factors can affect a knot efficiency test: the type of fiber, the style of rope, the size of rope, whether it is wet or dry, how the knot is dressed before loading, how rapidly it is loaded, whether the knot is repeatedly loaded, and so on.

Determining whether a particular event or proceeding constitutes the commencement of adversarial criminal proceedings requires both an examination of the rules of criminal procedure for the jurisdiction in which the crime is charged and the Supreme Courts cases dealing with the issue of when formal prosecution begins.

Determining the distances to astronomical objects is crucial to understanding them, but the vast majority of objects are too far away for their distances to be directly determined.

Determining if the customer is likely to return to reclaim an item is a subjective decision, and wily customers may attempt to persuade the pawnshop owner that the item in question is important to them (" that necklace belonged to my grandmother, so I will certainly return for it "), and they will claim that they will return to recover it.

Determining the number of categories of initials and finals actually represented thus took a good deal of careful work on the part of Chinese linguists.

Determining how much insurance to get, at the most cost effective terms requires knowledge of the market for personal insurance.

Determining how much of the various solutions to mix together to make gels of particular acrylamide concentration is possible.

Determining how much of each of these components to allocate to particular goods requires either tracking the particular costs or making some allocations of costs.

Determining how much insurance to get, at the most cost effective terms requires knowledge of the market for personal insurance.

* Determining how much to spend on information security for each class of information asset

Determining exactly the various influences is, after more than two thousand years of internal and external influences and developments, impossible but the result has been a large number of unique musical traditions.

Determining if the culture leans more toward individualism or collectivism would allow the coach to determine the type of feedback necessary for motivation.

Determining the grazing angle with respect to a planar surface is trivial, but the computation for almost any other surface is significantly more difficult.

The color, consistency, acidity, and other characteristics of the discharge may be predictive of the causative agent. Determining the agent is especially important because women may have more than one infection, or have symptoms that overlap those of another infection, which dictates different treatment processes to cure the infection.

Determining mass is even more difficult, because little evidence of soft tissues survives in the fossil record.

Determining a suitable classifier for a given problem is however still more an art than a science.

Determining whether socioeconomic or political factors are more important in explaining government action is a familiar theme.

Determining the appropriate treatment for noncyclical breast pain is more difficult, not only because it is hard to pinpoint where the pain is coming from, but also because the pain may not have hormonal causes and very often does not respond to hormonal treatment.

Determining what average input means is difficult, and often that average input has properties which make it difficult to characterise mathematically ( consider, for instance, algorithms that are designed to operate on strings of text ).

Determining whether a given food should be classified as bread, cake, or pastry can be difficult.

Determining the number of films he made during the early part of his career is difficult because the ad copy rarely named him.

Determining whether an employee has custody or possession can be difficult.

Determining the location of the county is difficult, given the conflicting references in the books.

Determining whether a particular person had lawful possession or mere custody is sometimes extremely difficult.

Determining when a given medal was struck is sometimes difficult.

Determining the age and sex of birds in brown plumage can be very difficult.

Determining whether blood is in gastric contents, either vomited or aspirated specimens, is surprisingly difficult.

Determining the number of men who have ever had sex with another man is difficult.

Determining which contact to communicate with through direct marketing may be difficult.

Determining the date of a heliacal rise of Sothis has been shown to be difficult, especially considering the need to know the exact latitude of the observation.

Determining the cause of such accidents is difficult for investigators and it is often impossible to tell if negligence caused the crash.

Determining the exact cause of CNH has proven to be difficult, specifically because only 21 additional cases have been reported since Plum and Swanson ’ s initial report of the condition in 1959.

Determining the prime factors of a number is an example of a problem frequently used to ensure cryptographic security in encryption systems ; this problem is believed to require super-polynomial time in the number of digits-it is relatively easy to construct a problem that would take longer than the known age of the Universe to solve on current computers using current algorithms.

Determining the achromatic number is NP-hard ; determining if it is greater than a given number is NP-complete, as shown by Yannakakis and Gavril in 1978 by transformation from the minimum maximal matching problem.
