  Press-Telegram - Poverty threshold a critical '60s decision
The poverty threshold is a flat sum that doesn't vary for regions with higher housing and living costs, such as California, nor does it consider costs such as day care, transportation or health care.
However, the Census threshold, or multiples of it, is the most prevalent determinant of benefits to the poor.
Today, the threshold of a family of four in poverty is about 36 percent of the national median family income of $55,832 as estimated by the Census.

 Climate Change 2001: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability
Critical threshold (heavy line) is set at a 50% chance of exceeding the cap (Jones, 2000).
Water demand in excess of this farm cap in 50% of the years was taken to represent a critical threshold beyond which the farmer cannot adapt.
Some degree of adaptation was indicated as desirable by 2030, although the theoretical critical threshold was not approached until 2050, becoming probable by 2090 (see Figure 12-6).

 "Critical Velocity, A Pace Between" - Chris Puppione
Critical velocity was initially noted in the research literature of the 1960’s as being the highest intensity of exercise you could exert indefinitely without fatigue.
We set critical velocity at a pace that is roughly 2-3% faster than lactate threshold, or at 90-91% of VO We have had great success with this intensity level, and we have found that this allows us to perform a quality session without sacrificing volume (i.e.
However, with critical velocity, you can improve your capacity to run at a greater velocity at all percentages of your VO This means improvement in all aerobically dominant events, which we have learned range in distance from the 800 meters to the marathon.

 Predicting the future: it's becoming a science | COSMOS magazine
This exciting new field of science is known as 'threshold and pattern dynamics', because it involves understanding when a vital threshold (to a catastrophe or major change) is crossed - and recognising patterns in the things that are driving it.
Threshold and pattern dynamics uses mathematics and computers to build a model of the factors driving uncommon and important events, Sivapalan explains.
The science of threshold and pattern dynamics has its roots in the efforts of scientists over the last 20 years to predict earthquakes.

Since the critical threshold with regard to water is 2,5 +-liters/day, a pre-event status must have been as low as 15-20 liter.
The degree of impairment of the functions of a societal component is judged by the deviation from the functional threshold, and survival is dependent upon the supply and hence consumption being above the critical threshold.
Definition of thresholds requires the use of indicators that may be either measures or markers that describe some aspect of the basic societal function.

 CiteULike: Molecular dynamics simulations of hydrophilic pores in lipid bilayers.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
It is observed that below a critical threshold tension of approximately 38 mN/m the pores are stabilized.
Based on the critical threshold tension the line tension of the bilayer was estimated to be approximately 3 x 10(-11) N, in good agreement with experimental measurements.
In the simulations the mechanical threshold tension necessary to cause rupture of the membrane on a nanosecond timescale is much higher in the case of the equilibrated bilayers, as compared with membranes containing preexisting pores.

 METALLIAN - Threshold
Threshold may be a favourite of many readers and they would be glad to hear that Critical Mass is a top-notch release from these underrated progressive metallers.
If one criticism is to be levelled at the Brits it would be the inorganic drum sound which conveys a backbeat way too mechanical for a band of this sentimental stature.
Critical Mass is our third album with the same line-up and according to the critics it's our best one which is always nice to hear.

Normally, Threshold release a disc that is a bit different from the previous disc, but in this case, they have opted to carry on with the sound and style that have made them a household name in the metal world.
After Threshold’s startling appearance at ProgPower USA, Mac finally got to show and prove to the United States that he is a formidable asset to this band, and erased any doubt of his power and range from anyone’s mind (including my own).
He has honed the Threshold sound so that it’s now “their” sound, and the last 3 discs have characterized the band as such.

 Producing probability maps to assess risk of exceeding critical threshold value of soil EC using geostatistical approach
The objective of using such technique is to minimize the uncertainty about whether the critical threshold has exceeded or not.
In this case the variogram is bounded and C(0) is known as the sill of the variogram.
Critical concentrations of EC or other soil properties have been recognized if the estimates are less than threshold values then farmers are advised to act and an appropriate and effective management plan can be developed.

 SF REVIEWS.NET: Critical Threshold / Brian M. Stableford
BRIAN M. The "critical threshold" of this novel's title refers to the minimum level of acceptibility, in terms of environmental and ecological conditions, that would make an alien world suitable for human colonization.
There is less action in Critical Threshold than in The Florians; much of the novel is taken up by a lengthy, travelogue-like exploration sequence in which Alexander and two crewmates journey deep into the forest.
If Critical Threshold were any longer than it is, the book might be a bore, but at 160 pages, passages like this are easily enjoyed.

 Memory Threshold Notifications
The Memory Threshold Notifications feature allows you to reserve memory for critical notifications and to configure a router to issue notifications when available memory falls below a specified threshold.
The Memory Threshold Notifications feature provides two ways to mitigate low-memory conditions on a router: notifications can be sent to indicate that free memory has fallen below a configured threshold, and memory can be reserved to ensure that sufficient memory is available to issue critical notifications.
Memory reservation for critical operations ensures that management processes, such as event logging, continue to function even when router memory is exhausted.

For example, threshold values established for highly weathered Ultisols in the southeastern US indicate that surface SOC levels of 1.2% are sufficient to attain maximum productivity.
They further pointed out that the amount of C required to perform a specific function is likely to be different as, for example, the amount required to ensure an adequate nutrient supply is likely to differ from the amount required to ensure structural stability.
The importance of examining threshold values at which organic carbon becomes effective and asserts a positive influence on soil properties should not be underestimated, as detrimental effects can occur if too much carbon is added to the soil.

In millennia past, however, before the Arctic totally froze and locked up, and before some critical threshold amount of fresh water was locked up in the Greenland and other glaciers, these 1500-year variations in solar energy didn't just slightly warm up or cool down the weather for the landmasses bracketing the North Atlantic.
When a critical threshold is reached, the climate will suddenly switch to an ice age that could last minimally 700 or so years, and maximally over 100,000 years.
