This will significantly increase the number of hedge funds under state supervision, as the threshold for SEC regulation was previously US $ 30 million.

When the electric field applied across an insulating substance exceeds in any location the threshold breakdown field for that substance, the insulator suddenly becomes a conductor, causing a large increase in current, an electric arc through the substance.

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.

In the presence of a threshold issue that will ultimately decide a case, a court may elect to hear that issue rather than proceeding with a full-blown trial.

Compression results in damage to the myelin sheath and manifests as delayed latencies and slowed conduction velocities However, normal electrodiagnostic studies do not preclude the presence of carpal tunnel syndrome, as a threshold of nerve injury must be reached before study results become abnormal and cut-off values for abnormality are variable.

It has been proposed that human genes " evolved with the expectation of requiring a certain threshold of physical activity " and that sedentary lifestyle results in abnormal gene expression .< ref name =" Cordain1998 "> Compared to ancestral humans, modern humans often have substantially less lean muscle, which is a risk factor for insulin resistance .< ref > Human metabolic processes were evolved in the presence of physical activity-rest cycles, which regularly depleted skeletal muscles of their glycogen stores .< ref > S. Boyd Eaton estimated that ancestral humans spent one-third of their caloric intake on physical activity ( 1000 kcal / day out of the total caloric intake of 3000 kcal / day ), and that the paleolithic lifestyle was well approximated by the WHO recommendation of the physical activity level of 1. 75, or 60 minutes / day of moderate-intensity exercise.

A threshold ( or limen ), is the point of intensity at which the participant can just detect the presence of, or difference in, a stimulus.

An absolute threshold is the level of intensity of a stimulus at which the subject is able to detect the presence of the stimulus some proportion of the time ( a p level of 50 % is often used ).

If presence of an ignition source can not be prevented in a fuel tank then a fuel tank can be made inert by ( 1 ) reducing the oxygen content of the ullage ( space above the fuel that contains air and fuel vapors ) below the threshold required for combustion, or ( 2 ) by reducing the air-fuel ratio of the ullage below the minimum threshold ( Lower Flammability Limit ) required for combustion, or ( 3 ) increasing the fuel air ratio above the maximum threshold ( Upper Flammability Limit ) that can support combustion.

Since its inception, the party has enjoyed an intermittent presence in the Parliament of Denmark, rarely winning much more than the two percent minimum required to gain seats under Denmark's proportional representation system, and frequently falling below the threshold, as happened most recently in the 2007 and 2011 elections.

The presence of charge within the gate shifts the transistor's threshold voltage, higher or lower, corresponding to a 1 to 0, for instance.

The incident also highlighted the problems of testing for the presence of GMOs down to a regulatory level of zero when all available detection methods have a relatively high base threshold before results become unreliable.

) is maximized in the presence of a specific non-zero level of stochastic input noise thereby lowering the response threshold ; the system resonates at a particular noise level.

The BEIR-VII report argued that, " the presence of a true dose threshold demands totally error-free DNA damage response and repair.

This is often thought of as the offensive threshold below which a player's presence in Major League Baseball cannot be justified, regardless of his defensive abilities.

Also, the threshold of HT channels was lowered in the presence of PGE2 ( a compound that sensitizes neurons to mechanical stimuli and mechanical hyperalgesia ) which further supports a role for HT channels in the transduction of mechanical stimuli into nociceptive neuronal signals.

When the change in field strength weakens due to the presence of an object and reaches a pre-set lower threshold, an alarm condition is generated.

* Air monitoring meter: electronic device for measuring the presence of one or more chemicals in air, such as oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide or volatile organic compounds ; may have preset danger threshold alarms.

For Vulnerable species, the presence of more than threshold numbers at a site is necessary to trigger selection.

In mice sensation of acoustic information via the vestibular system has been demonstrated to have a behaviourally relevant effect ; response to an elicited acoustic startle reflex is larger in the presence of loud, low frequency sounds that are below the threshold for the mouse cochlea (~ 4 Hz ), raising the possibility that the acoustic sensitivity of the vestibular system may extend the hearing range of small mammals.

In still others which are barely on the threshold of the transition into modernity, the decade can bring significant progress in launching the slow process of developing their human resources and their basic services to the point where an expanded range of developmental activities is possible.

The smallest sound that a person can hear, known as the threshold of hearing, is nine orders of magnitude smaller than the ambient pressure.

* A potentially serious side effect of many antipsychotics is that they tend to lower an individual's seizure threshold.

Additionally, PWM ( pulse-width modulation ) anemometers are also used, wherein the velocity is inferred by the time length of a repeating pulse of current that brings the wire up to a specified resistance and then stops until a threshold " floor " is reached, at which time the pulse is sent again.

In some contexts, the signal bandwidth in hertz refers to the frequency range in which the signal's spectral density is nonzero or above a small threshold value.

Because this range of non-zero amplitude may be very broad or infinite, this definition is typically relaxed so that the bandwidth is defined as the range of frequencies in which the signal's spectral density is above a certain threshold relative to its maximum.

The bankrupt will have to pay income contributions if his or her income is above a certain threshold.

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

The income contributions liability is calculated by halving the amount of income that exceeds the threshold.
