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

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 structure of LDL has been a tough task because of its heterogeneous structure.

Determining the date and length of Eric's reign ( before and after his father's death ) is a challenging and perhaps impossible task based on the confused chronology of our late sources.

Determining the precise end of the Republic is a task of dispute by modern historians ; Roman citizens of the time did not recognize that the Republic had ceased to exist.

Determining how written text is spoken is a hugely challenging task in itself.

Determining the present location of Amundsen's tent requires consideration of the precision of Amundsen's navigation in 1911, the flow of ice since then, and the amount of burial by intervening snow fall.

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 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 whether there is an issue underneath the surface would require subsurface investigation and historical search, the letter concluded.

Determining that there was an artificial effect suppressing the crew's memories, Dr. Crusher works to quickly restore them to the crew.

Determining whether there is an isomorphism between two graphs is also an important problem in computational complexity theory ; see graph isomorphism problem.

Determining the Hadwiger number of a given graph is NP-complete but fixed-parameter tractable: there is an algorithm for finding the largest clique minor in an amount of time that depends only polynomially on the size of the graph, but exponentially in h ( G ).

Determining such forces was required before building codes could specify the required strength of such buildings and such tests continue to be used for large or unusual buildings.

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 latitude was relatively easy in that it could be found from the altitude of the sun at noon with the aid of a table giving the sun's declination for the day.

The term ‘ fair ’ is meant to denote not only a smooth transition from fore to aft but also a shape that was ‘ right .’ Determining what is ‘ right ’ in a particular situation in the absence of definitive supporting analysis encompasses the art of naval architecture to this day.

" Although a Human Effects Advisory Panel was established in 1998 to provide independent assessment on human effects, data, and models for the use of ' non-lethal weapons ' on the general population, the TECOM Technology Symposium in 1997 concluded on non-lethal weapons: " Determining the target effects on personnel is the greatest challenge to the testing community ," primarily because " the potential of injury and death severely limits human tests.

" Determining the link between data breaches and identity theft is challenging, primarily because identity theft victims often do not know how their personal information was obtained ," and identity theft is not always detectable by the individual victims, according to a report done for the FTC.

It is also supported by the principles found in paragraph 171 of the Handbook on Procedures and Criteria for Determining Refugee Status which was issued by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees ( UNHCR ).

Determining that the actions of Blount, now a senator from Tennessee, constituted a crime, Adams sent Blount's letter to the Senate, where it was presented on July 3, 1797, while Blount was out for a walk.

It was defined in a paper titled “ Distributed Snapshots: Determining Global States of a Distributed System .”

Determining when a given medal was struck is sometimes difficult.

Determining longitudinal position was a major problem in marine navigation ; Newton argued that astronomical positioning could be used, but an easier theoretical possibility was to use accurate knowledge of the time at a specific, base, location.

Determining Yamashita ’ s intent was therefore paramount in establishing responsibility for the sook ching.

Determining exergy was also the first goal of thermodynamics.

Determining a precise location in the sky was complicated by the fact that the Big Ear telescope used two feed horns to search for signals, each pointing to a slightly different direction in the sky following Earth's rotation ; the Wow!

Determining that the section of the defensive line was manned primarily by artillery, he ordered an attack.

* Evaluation: Determining the effectiveness of the treatment plan that was administered.

The title of his thesis was " The Effects of Fixed Action Patterns and Neuro-Linguistic Programming in Determining Outcomes in Human Behaviour ".
