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

Antipsychotics are not recommended for benzodiazepine withdrawal ( or other CNS depressant withdrawal states ) especially clozapine, olanzapine or low potency phenothiazines e. g. chlorpromazine as they lower the seizure threshold and can worsen withdrawal effects ; if used extreme caution is required.

It is contraindicated in patients with a history of long-term use of benzodiazepines, those having ingested a substance that lowers the seizure threshold or may cause an arrhythmia, and in those with abnormal vital signs.

In March 2012 the parties popularity in opinion polls had reached a level far below above the election threshold ( which was raised to 5 % in November 2011 ) with about 1 % of the votes predicted to go to the party but in May 2012 the prediction had increased from 1 % to 3. 8 %.

In June 2005 it was at 4 % and has since deteriorated ; in the parliamentary elections of September 2005, it reached 2. 5 %, failing to overcome the election threshold of 5 %.

The asphyxiation of 29 cows in September 1999 prompted a detailed survey, which found that concentration of the gas at 1. 5 m above the ground in a residential area on the northwestern flank sometimes exceeded the occupational health threshold of 0. 5 %.

On September 8, he ranked first with 24 % of the vote, but failed to reach the 50 % threshold to win outright.

At one point it seemed possible that the party might be able to break the 4 % threshold necessary to enter parliament, with the party reaching 4. 5 % in the polls in September 2005, but after that peak the party's support plummeted well below the 4 % barrier and in the months before the election it became clear that the party would not be taking seats in parliament that year.

It remained unamended until September 2006 ( a previous " amendment " was erroneously certified in the mid-1990s ; it was later thrown out by the Constitutional Council as violating the Constitution's voter threshold for amendments ), when the legislative body, previously known as the " Assembly " and elected at large, was replaced by the Senate with campus-based representative districts.

On 26 September 2003, it was reported that he had increased his share to 3. 17 %, taking his shareholding above the 3 % threshold that required him to inform the club's management.

However, Millwood met the required threshold in September 2009.

* 1 September 1996-WAR Hawker Sea Fury replica crashed south of the runway 07 threshold shortly after take-off killing the 69 year old pilot, the only person on board.

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 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.

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 threshold also varies with brightness ( it is higher for a brighter light source ) and with location on the retina where the perceived image falls: the rod cells of the human eye have a faster response time than the cone cells, so flicker can be sensed in peripheral vision at higher frequencies than in foveal vision.

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.
