	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Largest remainder method
		The largest remainder method requires the number of votes for each party to be divided by a quota representing the number of votes required for a seat, and this gives a notional number of seats to each, usually including an integer and either a fraction or alternatively a remainder.
		The largest remainder method requires the number of votes for each party to be divided by a quota representing the number of votes required for a seat, and this gives a notional number of seats to each, usually including an integer and either a vulgar fraction or alternatively a remainder.
		The dHondt method is a method for allocating seats in party-list proportional representation.

		Das Höchstzahlverfahren nach d'Hondt (auch d'Hondtsches Höchstzahlverfahren, Jefferson's method, Verfahren nach Hagenbach-Bischoff, Divisorverfahren mit Abrunden) wurde 1882 vom belgischen Juristen Victor d'Hondt entwickelt.
		Der belgische Jurist Victor d'Hondt entwickelte dann 1882 in Gent das Berechnungsverfahren, das auch heute noch unter seinem Namen gebraucht wird.
		Das d'Hondtsche-Höchstzahlverfahren wurde bis 1983 zur Ermittlung der Sitzzahlen bei Wahlen zum Deutschen Bundestag verwendet und bei der Wahl 1986 durch das Hare-Niemeyer-Verfahren abgelöst. Auch zur Berechnung der Ausschussbesetzung wurde es dort in den ersten fünf Wahlperioden eingesetzt und in der sechsten Wahlperiode ab 1970 durch das Verfahren nach Hare und Niemeyer ersetzt.

		RAPD (method I) patterns of MG vaccine strains (lanes 1-3), isolates from songbirds (lanes 4-6), and isolates from commercial poultry (lanes 7-11).
		RAPD method I was used to conduct routine screening and most comparative tests because of its reproducibility, discriminating capability, and ease of interpretation; however, the use of two different RAPD primer systems is valuable for confirming apparent relationships.

		METHODS: The susceptibilities of 12 CRPA isolates were determined in vitro for amikacin, ceftazidime, tobramycin, polymyxin B, gentamicin, ticarcillin, and the fluoroquinolones (that is, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin, gatifloxacin, and moxifloxacin) using E-tests and National Committee of Clinical Laboratory Standards.
		METHODS: The antimicrobial susceptibilities of 190 isolates of gonococci from Korea in 2000 were examined by NCCLS methods, and subsets of these isolates underwent mutation analysis of the quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) of gyrA and parC.

		Effectively, a careful examination of the signals of different individuals (21) by 5 complementary methods of analysis reveals first, that one or two gaps in frequency occur between two successive notes at different moments of the song, and second, that their temporal and frequency positions are stereotyped for each individual.
		The aim of this method, mainly based upon the analysis of variances made on acoustic parameters, was to provide an information capacity measure (H) of an individual signature.
		The advantage of this method is that no acoustic parameters were "a priori" selected by the observer, except the temporal and frequency bandwidths (frames) used in calculation.

		Catching an in-bounds pass from Kevin Fitzgerald and releasing the ball from his hand with.1 seconds to play, Stijn Dhondt hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer to punch the Boston University men's basketball team's ticket to the America East championship game, beating Hartford University, 63-60, at Matthews Arena.
		Quickly getting the shot out of his hands, Dhondt was off-balance and falling toward the sideline as he hoisted the shot, which went off the glass and through after the horn had sounded.

		Using data collected by thousands of volunteer citizen-scientists in the Birds in Forested Landscapes project, scientists at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology showed that the wood thrush is less likely to attempt to breed in regions that receive high levels of acid rain.
		Acid rain is the broad term used to describe several ways that a weak solution of inorganic acids, such as nitric and sulfuric acid, falls out of the atmosphere as rain, snow, mist and fog.
		Advances in computers and biotechnology have had a profound impact on biomedical research, and as a result complex data sets can now be generated to address extremely complex biological questions.
