Determining which amino acid forms the N-terminus of a peptide chain is useful for two reasons: to aid the ordering of individual peptide fragments ' sequences into a whole chain, and because the first round of Edman degradation is often contaminated by impurities and therefore does not give an accurate determination of the N-terminal amino acid.

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

Determining the substance ingested is often complicated by the body's natural processes ( see ADME ), as it is rare for a chemical to remain in its original form once in the body.

Determining which cause is most likely is often a process of elimination-eliminating potential causes of a problem.

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 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 a precise distance to the LMC, as with any other galaxy, was challenging due to the use of standard candles for calculating distances, with the primary problem being that many of the standard candles are not as ' standard ' as one would like ; in many cases, the age and / or metallicity of the standard candle plays a role in determining the intrinsic luminosity of the object.

Determining the poverty line is usually done by finding the total cost of all the essential resources that an average human adult consumes in one year.

Determining the type of rock being drilled at any one time is a matter of knowing the ' lag time ' between a chip being cut by the bit and the time it reaches the surface where it is then examined by the wellsite geologist ( or mudlogger as they are sometimes called ).

Determining the new territory too large to administer as one unit, Britain divided its new southeastern acquisitions into two new colonies separated by the Apalachicola River: East Florida, with its capital in the old Spanish city of St. Augustine, and West Florida, with its capital at Pensacola.

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 this relationship is presently one of the major focuses of LTD research.

Determining the velocities for the case of one ball striking four " touching " balls is found by modeling the balls as weights with non-traditional springs on their colliding surface.

Determining this cut-off point, the rate above which the growth is deemed to be significant ( and likely to lead to extra demands on cash ) is a critical requirement of the technique ; and one that, again, makes the use of the BCG Matrix problematical in some product areas.

Determining your location in 2D space requires two measurements or angle or range-two angle measurements, two distance measurements, or one angle and one distance.

Determining the UMVUE, if one exists, for a particular problem is important for practical statistics, since less-than-optimal procedures would naturally be avoided, other things being equal.

Determining an absolute poverty line is usually done by finding the total cost of all the essential resources that an average human adult consumes in one year.

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 relevance of precedents by exclusionary principles of evidence and logic ;

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.
