These factors can also cause hydrocodone and related drugs to have a threshold effect, cause significant lengthening or shortening of the duration of effects in the absence of tolerance, and increase or decrease the de facto conversion ratio between hydrocodone and other drugs like morphine, hydromorphone, and synthetics like levorphanol and methadone.

The degree of proportionality also varies ; it is determined by factors such as the precise formula used to allocate seats, the number of seats in each constituency or in the elected body as a whole, and the level of any minimum threshold for election.

In addition, free neutrons are also ionizing, since their interactions with matter are inevitably more energetic than this threshold.

Sputtering which is observed to occur below the threshold energy of physical sputtering, is also often called chemical sputtering.

The Egyptians ' Holy Sycamore also stood on the threshold of life and death, connecting the two worlds.

New Zealand's House of Representatives also has a 5 % threshold, but if a party wins at least one electorate seat the threshold does not apply, see Electoral system of New Zealand.

There are also countries – such as Portugal, South Africa, Finland, the Netherlands, and the Republic of Macedonia – that have proportional representation systems without a threshold, although the Netherlands has a rule that the first seat can never be a remainder seat, which means that there is an effective threshold of 100 % divided by the total number of seats.

The threshold rules also apply for independent candidates to obtain ballot access.

Companding can also refer to the use of compression, where gain is decreased when levels rise above a certain threshold, and its complement, expansion, where gain is increased when levels drop below a certain threshold.

In telecommunications, a voice operated switch, also known as VOX or Voice Operated eXchange, is a switch that operates when sound over a certain threshold is detected.

It has also been shown that the quality protein intake in a 24-hour period and the times achieving the essential amino acid threshold of approximately 10 g is inversely related to percent central abdominal fat.

See also: Renal threshold.

This is also called " kidney threshold ," " spilling point ," and " leak point.

See also: Renal threshold.

Prior studies had also assumed a clear glycemic threshold between people at high and low risk of diabetic retinopathy .< ref name =" pmid9203460 "> However, it has been shown that the widely accepted WHO and American Diabetes Association diagnostic cutoff for diabetes of a fasting plasma glucose ≥ 7. 0 mmol / l ( 126 mg / dl ) does not accurately identify diabetic retinopathy among patients.

The threshold is indexed biannually in March and September, and varies according to the number of dependants the bankrupt has.

Above a certain threshold size, which varies with planetary gravity, the collapse and modification of the transient cavity is much more extensive, and the resulting structure is called a complex crater.

In practice much lower thresholds were maintained even though the optimal dose varies greatly between patients, often quite higher than this and with no inherent threshold in the possible dose, as the toxic dose for patients with very high tolerance can exceed this tenfold or more.

The threshold of what is perceptible, technically known as the just noticeable difference, also varies as a function of the timbre of the pitch: in one study, changes in tone quality reduced student musicians ' ability to recognize as out-of-tune pitches that deviated from their appropriate values by ± 12 cents.

Music recording sales certification is a system of certifying that a music recording has shipped or sold a certain number of copies, where the threshold quantity varies by type ( such as: album, single, music video ) and by nation or territory ( See also: List of music recording certifications ).

The flicker fusion threshold also varies between species.

The problem is that the laser output power varies by orders of magnitude depending on whether the laser is above or below threshold.

Metaplasticity varies the threshold level at which plasticity occurs, allowing integrated responses to synaptic activity spaced over time and preventing saturated states of LTP and LTD.

The type of recognition and threshold needed to obtain it varies.

There is, additionally, a retrieval latency, which varies inversely with the amount by which the activation of the retrieved chunk exceeds the retrieval threshold.

The threshold pressure for sound varies only slightly with frequency and can be age-dependent.

( Interestingly this threshold varies across different species ; a higher proportion of rod cells in the retina will create a higher threshold level.

" ( Note: The official poverty threshold, which is set by the US Census Bureau, varies depending on the size of a family and the age of the family members.

The threshold for repair varies slightly from individual to individual, depending on the balance of risks and benefits when considering repair versus ongoing surveillance.

This threshold endothelial cell density varies considerably amongst individuals, but is typically in the range of 500-1000 cells / mm².

The threshold for discharge also varies.

Growing degrees ( GDs ) is defined as the number of temperature degrees above a certain threshold base temperature, which varies among crop species.

The stopping criterion varies by algorithm ; possible criteria include: a subset score exceeds a threshold, a program's maximum allowed run time has been surpassed, etc.

In fact, there is a current even for gate biases below threshold ( subthreshold leakage ) current, although it is small and varies exponentially with gate bias.

That reduction means less gate voltage swing below threshold to turn the device off, and as subthreshold conduction varies exponentially with gate voltage ( see MOSFET: Cut-off Mode ), it becomes more and more significant as MOSFETs shrink in size.

It then thresholds the voice metrics using a threshold that varies according to the estimated SNR.

However, this threshold varies by country, state, or even agency or application.
