An Analysis of Variables Affecting the Clearance of Homicides Analysis of clearance rates from 1980 through 1994 shows that clearance rates in cities have remained very stable: those cities that are high in total clearance and high in homicide rates have remained consistently so throughout this period, as have cities which are high-low, low-high, and low-low. For example, the homicide clearance rate is determined by dividing the number of homicides reported in a year by the number of arrests made for those homicides. This study addresses the issue of clearance rates with the expectation that by understanding what accounts for cities having high clearance rates for homicide, we will be able to prescribe changes that other departments could use to improve their rate of homicide clearance. www.jrsa.org /pubs/reports/Clearance_of_Homicide.html   (8187 words)

Print Article: Auction clearance rate drops   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) The case against interest rates was strengthened by reduced auction clearance rates and a softening property market, the real estate industry said.

MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Creatinine clearance The creatinine clearance test compares the level of creatinine in urine with the creatinine level in the blood, usually based on measurements of a 24-hour urine sample and a blood sample drawn at the end of the 24-hour period. Because creatinine is found in stable plasma concentrations, is freely filtered and not reabsorbed, and is minimally secreted by the kidneys, creatinine clearance is used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The creatinine clearance is an estimate of the glomerular filtration rate, that is, the volume of filtrate made by the kidneys per minute. www.nlm.nih.gov /medlineplus/ency/article/003611.htm   (1076 words)

91% of major crimes unsolved in Honolulu - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) The clearance rate for the state in 2002 was 10.5 percent for 75,238 major crimes. O'ahu's rate of 8.7 percent was also less than half the average clearance rate of 18.4 percent for Pacific region law enforcement agencies last year, according to the FBI report. David Johnson, a sociologist at the University of Hawai'i, said the clearance rate is also a function of some factors outside of police control, such as solidarity of society or the propensity of people to cooperate with police officers. the.honoluluadvertiser.com /article/2003/Nov/16/ln/ln03a.html   (1366 words)

Williams (D) to measure performance and dole out Ramsey's bonuses -- is 50.9 percent.

Effective Clearance Rate and Refiltration Estimation of Zebra Mussels, Dreissena polymorpha, in a Stratified Reservoir The grazing impact of zebra mussels, Dreissena polymorpha Pallas, is often evaluated by applying the individual filtration rate measured in the laboratory to the field abundance and then by comparing the total volume of water filtered with the whole lake volume. Taking the filtration rates for a 20-mm mussel to be between 116 and 234 mt ind(-1) h(-1), based on data from the literature, the clumped mussels under the present experimental conditions would have a refiltration ratio between 3.4 and 6.9. The present authors developed an areal clearance model which predicts that seston removal by the Dreissena population is limited by the particle delivery from the ambient water to the mussel bed and will reach a maximum value beyond which no further increase will occur with increased population density. www.sgnis.org /publicat/fb481.htm   (463 words)

Auction clearance rate going, going...down - News - www.theage.com.au Auction clearance rates were extremely low, he said, and had fallen since the Reserve Bank of Australia first lifted interest rates in November last year. Mr Christopher said while a tightening in interest rates was felt across most property markets, the introduction of the stamp duty for vendors in NSW had by far the biggest impact on Sydney real estate. "Auction clearance rates are better at confirming the likely direction that housing is going, rather than giving you an accurate indication of the magnitude of the change in housing," he said. www.theage.com.au /articles/2004/06/16/1087244962076.html   (591 words)

Print Article: Low rents, nerves hit clearance rate In its latest survey, Commercial Property Monitors showed that the rate had fallen from a high in April of 79 per cent to 69 per cent in August, across the country. He said that over the past three years the commercial auction clearance rate had firmed considerably, from 57 per cent in the June quarter 2000 to 77 per cent in the most recent June quarter, reflecting the growth in the commercial and residential property markets. Yet the rise in interest rates and a shift in investment dollars toward strata suites and other commercial sites, such as TAB outlets and bank branches in the suburbs, has seen the auctions rates fall away. www.smh.com.au /cgi-bin/common/popupPrintArticle.pl?path=/articles/2002/09/10/1031608246861.html   (529 words)

FBI Crime Clearance Statistics The Emergency Response and Research Institute in Chicago has just concluded a study of Federal Bureau of Investigation statistics that show the cities with the lowest clearance rates of crime.

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) What the police department hasn’t been so quick to trumpet—what it is, rather, trying desperately not to acknowledge—is that the rate of cleared cases has nosedived even as the number of detectives investigating homicides has nearly tripled since 1993, when the city saw a record 353 killings. In the watershed year of 1993, when the Homicide Unit had 34 detectives, the clearance rate for the full year was 62.3 percent (220 arrests in 353 killings). “The clearance rate is not down.” Weinhold did not dispute the Nose’s numbers on homicides and arrests—60 of the 152 cases this year solved, compared to 88 of the 186 cases last year—but he insisted, “The homicide clearance rate is increasing.” www.citypaper.com /news/printready.asp?id=8571   (674 words)

Police say property crimes are cause of low clearance rate - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper Honolulu's high number of property crimes, which often leave no suspects or other clues, was a main factor in the HPD's second-lowest crime clearance rate in the last 30 years, police officials said. Responding to an Advertiser report that said police cleared 9.6 percent, or 4,488, of the 46,628 offenses reported last year, Honolulu police said they are not satisfied with a success rate of less than 10 percent, but emphasized that they continue to reduce the overall crime rate on O'ahu. We're always looking at our performance, but we never lose sight of the total picture, which is the reduction of crime, period. the.honoluluadvertiser.com /article/2005/Oct/20/ln/FP510200354.html   (361 words)
