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 a " country of origin " is thus much more difficult than determining other aspects of a gem ( such as cut, clarity etc.

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 which cells are to be empty ( called spaces ) is as important as determining which are to be filled ( called boxes ).

Determining wind direction is extremely important when fire breathing.

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

Determining the necessary amount of context is important.

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

Determining the class of water damage is an important first step, and will determine the amount and type of equipment utilized to dry-down the structure:.

Determining subcellular localization is important for understanding protein function and is a critical step in genome annotation.

In 1730, he published the ( New Method for Determining the Distance from the Sun to the Earth ).

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

Adrien-Marie Legendre ( 1805 ) developed the method of least squares, and introduced it in his Nouvelles méthodes pour la détermination des orbites des comètes ( New Methods for Determining the Orbits of Comets ).

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 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.

Determining an appropriate and safe exercise program is challenging and must be carefully individualized to each person being sure to account for all contraindications and precautions.

* Path planning: Determining an optimal path for vehicle to go while meeting certain objectives and mission constraints, such as obstacles or fuel requirements

Determining optimality for rational behavior requires a quantifiable formulation of the problem, and the making of several key assumptions.

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

" 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 that the Enterprise did not fire the torpedoes but that the assassins are still aboard, the crew begins looking for them.

" 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.
