Distributions of 157 bird species were modelled using means and seasonality of temperature and precipitation representing either weather (three, six and twelve month values immediately preceding date of a bird sighting) or climate (30 year average representing 1961 1990).
Six patients were excluded because date of death was recorded as preceding date of incidence.
* P ≤ 0.05 in comparison with day 0; + P ≤ 0.05 in comparison with the preceding date.
The mean μ i, t is simply the sample mean of the n i, t daily concentrations (z i, j, j = 1,..., n i, t ) recorded at station i over 1 year preceding date t.
It is quite likely that the sex ratio will have an impact, not only upon mate selection but also the preceding dating behaviors.
Analyses were also conducted on all dates to ensure that dates were entered in a way that made sense chronologically (e.g. ensuring that dates of birth preceded dates of training and ensuring that dates of training at lower levels preceded dates of training at more advanced levels).

Primary studies were eligible for inclusion only if they had been published before June 2004 and if the entry date of a study in a database preceded the date of the literature search of any systematic review analysed.
At the time I just thought that the word 'The' preceding a date was a strong use of language.
In addition, the following logical checks are embedded in the programme: 1) that the birth date precedes the date of diagnosis in terms of real time; 2) that the date of diagnosis precedes the date of treatment/surgery; 3) that gender-specific diagnoses are logical in terms of registered gender.
We feel we should give back to him — and how can you not?" For Driben, giving time and money to B.U. — more than $200,000 since 1991 and an unknown amount preceding that, dating to a $25 contribution in 1973 — is a token of his gratitude for seven years of speech therapy with a university professor, Albert Murphy, beginning in 1955, when Driben was 11.
