* Those who have not yet finished compulsory education have no entitlement to NMW.

Interest rates are determined by the board of directors of the bank with the approval of the Farm Credit Administration.

Its elimination would result in the saving of interest costs, heavy when short-term money rates are high, and in freedom from dependence on credit which is not always available when needed most.

Wisconsin Dells, where fantastically scenic rocks carved by the Wisconsin River are overgrown with fern and other foliage, rates a stopover when traveling from Chicago.

There are as many rates as there are countries and models of cars available.

After the first month, rates are considerably less, averaging only about $60 a month for most 4- and 5-passenger models.

There is one exception to the above statement as has been pointed out, and that is that fluids can relax by flowing into fields of lower rates of shear, so the statement should be modified by stating that the mechanics are similar.

These are reasonable assumptions with low viscosity fluids suspended in high viscosity fluids which are subjected to low rates of shear.

These signs are the inventories of unsold houses in some areas of the country and the moderate rise in vacancy rates for apartments ( 7.6% in September ).

It is pertinent to ask the question: Has the long upswing of interest rates during the past 15 years just about run its course, and are we now entering a period in which both capital market forces and Federal policies will produce a prolonged decline of interest rates??

Indeed, the failure of home-building as a whole to respond this year to somewhat greater availability of mortgage financing, and the increasing reports of pockets of unsold homes and rising vacancy rates in apartment buildings, may also signal in part that the lush days of big backlog demand for housing are reaching an end.

But the practice is likely to be misleading, since it may seem to support a conclusion that, as long as the revenues from any class of service cover the imputed operating expenses plus some return on capital investment, however low, the rates of charge for this service are compensatory.

While costs on this order are sometimes separately charged for in residential and commercial rates, in the form of a mere `` service charge '', they are more frequently wholly or partly covered by a minimum charge which entitles the consumer to a very small amount of gas or electricity with no further payment.

Higher toll rates also are helping boost revenues.

obvious to the casual observer, Type II error rates are low ).

Architects ' fee structures are typically based on a percentage of construction value, hourly rates or a fixed lump sum fee.

WAV and AIFF are flexible file formats designed to store more or less any combination of sampling rates or bitrates.

These genetic factors are believed to, in part, explain the differing rates of alcohol dependence among racial groups.

* Suppose that the exchange rates ( after taking out the fees for making the exchange ) in London are £ 5

¥ 1000 and the exchange rates in Tokyo are ¥ 1000

Some neurons emit action potentials constantly, at rates of 10 – 100 per second, usually in irregular patterns ; other neurons are quiet most of the time, but occasionally emit a burst of action potentials.

Category B agents are moderately easy to disseminate and have low mortality rates.

Similarly, arbitrage affects the difference in interest rates paid on government bonds issued by the various countries, given the expected depreciations in the currencies relative to each other ( see interest rate parity ).

In order to facilitate trade between these currency zones, there are different exchange rates, which are the prices at which currencies ( and the goods and services of individual currency zones ) can be exchanged against each other.

The forward and reverse reactions are competing with each other and differ in reaction rates.

Today, scan the barcode ( usually EAN or Universal Product Code ( UPC )) for each item, retrieve the price from a database, calculate deductions for items on sale ( or, in British retail terminology, " special offer ", " multibuy " or " BOGOF "), calculate the sales tax or VAT, calculate differential rates for preferred customers, actualize inventory, time and date stamp the transaction, record the transaction in detail including each item purchased, record the method of payment, keep totals for each product or type of product sold as well as total sales for specified periods, and do other tasks as well.

Presses vary from simple, inexpensive single stage models, to complex progressive models that will eject a loaded cartridge with each pull of a lever, at rates of 10 rounds a minute.

As a general guide, flow rates for each gully should be 1 liter per minute.

In situations where this is not possible, the reductions in growth can be eliminated by placing another nutrient feed halfway along the gully and reducing flow rates to 1 L / min through each outlet.

The selling price and exchange value in stamps in each country were since adjusted to some extent to remove some of the potential for profit, but ongoing fluctuations in cost of living and exchange rates make it impossible to achieve this completely.

CPU instruction rates are different from clock frequencies, usually reported in Hz, as each instruction may require several clock cycles to complete or may be capable of executing multiple independent instructions at once.

Paula is primarily the audio chip, with 4 independent hardware-mixed 8-bit PCM sound channels, each of which supports 65 volume levels ( no sound to maximum volume ) and sample rates from roughly 20 Hz to almost 29 kHz.

Another example of what might be considered by some to be excessive issues is that, at the time of the millennium, the United Kingdom issued 96 different stamps over about 24 months, all for pre-existing values with the same four rates for each set.

Range voting uses a ratings ballot ; that is, each voter rates each candidate with a number within a specified range, such as 0 to 99 or 1 to 5.

Due to fluctuating exchange rates, the relative value of each currency varies continuously and so does the value of the SDR.

Observers in different locations, that are in relative motion or at different altitudes, can disagree about the rates of each other's clocks, owing to effects described by the theory of relativity.

Also according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, The New Yorkers renewal rate ( the percentage of subscribers who renew their subscription each year ) is 85 %— one of the highest reported rates in the industry.

Discussions of frictional unemployment focus on voluntary decisions to work based on each individuals ' valuation of their own work and how that compares to current wage rates plus the time and effort required to find a job.

In telecommunications, a digital multiplex hierarchy is a hierarchy consisting of an ordered repetition of tandem digital multiplexers that produce signals of successively higher data rates at each level of the hierarchy.

Over time, different overtones may decay at different rates, causing the relative intensity of each overtone to rise or fall independent of the overall volume of the sound.

Left on its own, each clock will mark time at slightly different rates.

The PlayStation 3 game Race Driver: Grid uses 224 simultaneous streams of ATRAC3 compressed audio, with between one and eight channels per stream at sample rates between 24 and 48 kHz, each filtered using 512 frequency bands of adaptive equalisation, routed via six reverb units running on the same SPU co-processor ( one of eight on the PS3's Cell chip ), alongside 7. 1 channel hybrid third-order Ambisonic mixing.

* The total fertility rate, the number of live births per woman completing her reproductive life, if her childbearing at each age reflected current age-specific fertility rates.

Mullerian mimicry occurs when aposematic species evolve to resemble each other, presumably to reduce predator sampling rates, the Heliconius butterflies from the Americas being a good example.
