		In some embodiments, the strip is divided into segments wherein each segment corresponds to a different predetermined property to provide a tactile alarm signal to the person when an actuation signal provided in one segment corresponds to a particular predetermined property falling outside its predetermined range.
		When a measured physical property falls outside a predetermined range the monitor 5 provides an activation signal to tactile alarm 8 which in turn provides an electrical stimulation signal to the person on their forearm adjacent the tactile alarm strip 8.
		Once one of the physical properties of interest falls outside its predetermined range and the audible and visual alarms 2 and 6 are activated, an alarm signal is sent to a tactile alarm 8 in contact with the skin of the surgeon (not illustrated).

	Theories of aging based on predetermined or programmed events
		From this perspective, human life is regarded as a continuum, starting with birth, proceeding through sexual maturity and aging and culminating in death.

		The pacemaker theory of aging is based on the notion of "biological clocks," systems or processes that are set at birth to run for a specified period of time and then wind down, leading to aging and death.

	Predetermined winners and losers in the Ice Age extinction game (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		In the July issue of Ecology Letters, Svenning provides evidence that the Ice Age fate of European cool-temperate tree genera was predetermined by evolutionarily conservative limits to their climatic tolerances.
		As estimated from their modern distribution outside Europe, still widespread genera are more cold tolerant than extinct and relictual genera, while relictual genera are more drought tolerant than extinct genera.
		An important lesson from these findings is to expect only limited evolutionary adaptability of tree genera in the face of future climatic changes.

	Predetermined and recorded
		Believing in Divine Destiny is one of the pillars of faith, and, in accordance with this belief, everything in the universe is determined by God, the All-Mighty.
		While there are countless absolute evidences of Destiny, it may be sufficient to make some introductory remarks to demonstrate how important a place this pillar of faith has for the whole of creation.
		We see that every movement a creature makes in the course of its existence, and all the stages through which it passes, are pre-determined by Divine Destiny and its whole life forms a harmonious unity.

	Hereditary nature versus predetermined characters
		It is important to stress that having a hereditary nature does not mean following a linear ratio or being predetermined.
		The comparison between these percentages of concordance not only allows us to perfectly differentiate between genetic and predetermined but rather also to deduce information about the number of genes involved and the number of possible different expressions or characteristics.
		For example, it seems that the blood group depends on just one gene while schizophrenia depends on various, possibly six or seven, although it is difficult to know with just this information.
