Rather, such assignments are made, as they must be, on the basis of certain overall rules and standards, representing to some extent a statistical approach to the problem, taking into account for each situation some of the variables ( e.g., power and station separations ) and averaging out others in order to achieve the balance which must be struck between protection against destructive interference and the assignment of a number of stations large enough to afford optimum radio service to the Nation.

is an analytical methodology to combine statistical moments from individual segments of a time-history such that the resulting overall moments are those of the complete time-history.

In theory it can occur only in nuclei somewhat heavier than nickel ( element 28 ), where overall binding energy per nucleon is no longer a minimum, and the nuclides are therefore unstable toward spontaneous fission-type processes.

For galaxies ( which are of course themselves much larger than 10 parsecs, and whose overall brightness cannot be directly observed from relatively short distances ) the absolute magnitude is defined by reference to the apparent brightness of a point-like or star-like source of the same total luminosity as the galaxy, as it would appear if observed at the standard 10 parsecs distance.

These are also sometimes called simply AC1, AC2, etc., and, somewhat confusingly, sometimes Roman numerals are used for these isoforms that all belong to the overall AC class III.

These Zernike coefficients are linearly independent, thus individual aberration contributions to an overall wavefront may be isolated and quantified separately.

Some argue that, overall, the evidence suggests that antipsychotics only help if they are used selectively and are gradually withdrawn as soon as possible and have referred to the " Myth of the antipsychotic ".

A review of the methods used in trials of antipsychotics, despite stating that the overall quality is " rather good ," reported issues with the selection of participants ( including that in schizophrenia trials up to 90 % of people who are generally suitable do not meet the elaborate inclusion and exclusion criteria, and that negative symptoms have not been properly assessed despite companies marketing the newer antipsychotics for these ); issues with the design of trials ( including pharmaceutical company funding of most of them, and inadequate experimental " blinding " so that trial participants could sometimes tell whether they were on placebo or not ); and issues with the assessment of outcomes ( including the use of a minimal reduction in scores to show " response ," lack of assessment of quality of life or recovery, a high rate of discontinuation, selective highlighting of favorable results in the abstracts of publications, and poor reporting of side-effects ).

Prices may diverge during a financial crisis, often termed a " flight to quality "; these are precisely the times when it is hardest for leveraged investors to raise capital ( due to overall capital constraints ), and thus they will lack capital precisely when they need it most.

Many of the genetic characteristics associated with yield ( e. g., enhanced growth ) are controlled by a large number of genes, each of which has a minimal effect on the overall yield.

Both the overall age distribution and the median age are driven by the presence of the local university Appalachian State.

In London and Italy, the galant style was in the ascendent: simple, light music with a mania for cadencing ; an emphasis on tonic, dominant, and subdominant to the exclusion of other harmonies ; symmetrical phrases ; and clearly articulated partitions in the overall form of movements.

In circumstances like these, where the margin of error is so minute, the performance may need to be aided by a click track, or it will completely fall apart, and it can become a blur in which the downbeats can't be clearly recognized, with the overall rhythm possibly in ruins.

By then, Berle and his audience had probably burned out on each other, and Buick had even dropped sponsorship of the show at the beginning of the 1955 – 1956 season ( opting to sponsor Jackie Gleason's half-hour filmed edition of The Honeymooners ), after ratings fell dramatically during the 1954 – 1955 as well ( the higher ratings of his 1955 – 56 competition, The Phil Silvers Show on CBS, didn't help Berle, either ); though Berle would remain one of the nation's beloved entertainers, overall, the show that made him a superstar was clearly spent for steam and fresh ideas, and two subsequent attempts at television comebacks hosting his own show lasted barely a year each.

Distinctive features ( Brodmann-1905 ): Compared to Brodmann area 18-1909, the pyramidal cells of sublayer 3b of the external pyramidal layer ( III ) are not as densely distributed, the layer is not as narrow, and its boundary with the internal granular layer ( IV ) is not as distinct ; the cells in sublayer 3b are concentrated at its outer boundary leaving a narrow clear zone with no large pyramidal cells adjacent to layer IV ; the granule cells of layer IV are less densely distributed and are intermixed with larger polymorphic cells so that, while the layer is still quite dark and prominent, it is somewhat widened and not as self-contained ; the internal pyramidal layer ( V ) is characterized by large pyramidal ganglion cells, most in small groups, a pattern not seen in area 18 ; the cells in the multiform layer ( VI ) are clearly larger than in area 18 ; overall area 19 is somewhat thicker and less densely populated than area 18.
