The phrase "achieved a threshold of" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when talking about reaching a particular level, goal, point, etc. For example, "The team achieved a threshold of success after months of hard work."
For mass transit to work, he writes, cities must not only achieve a threshold of mixed-use density, but driving must become an exceedingly unpleasant alternative.
Here, response is defined as a binary (yes/no) variable in terms of achieving a threshold of undetectable levels of HBV DNA.
Can you provide an estimate of the difference in patients achieving a threshold of function or improvement, and the associated number needed to treat (NNT)?
A cluster-size threshold based on random field theory as implemented in FMRIstat (Worsley et al. 2002) was applied to achieve a threshold of P < 0.05, corrected for multiple comparisons.
For example, patients with an index dose >150 200 units/day had a 95% reduction in the likelihood of achieving a threshold of 80% (odds ratio =0.047; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.037 0.057), while those with an index dose >200 300 units/day were 94% less likely to achieve this threshold (odds ratio =0.056; 95% CI 0.044 0.071).
Both the proportion of those who achieved a threshold Hb of ≥12 or ≥13 g/dL and the proportion of those who experienced a rapid rise in Hb were higher in the ≥10 g/dL baseline-Hb group.
By using a 20K resistor for R1 and a 1M resistor for R2, we achieved a threshold value of -100 mV since our Vs value was the 5V from the STK-500 (refer to Figure 1 for our circuit).
The results of qPCR were analyzed in the same way: the binary coding for qPCR reactions was based on whether or not mouthwash-extracted DNA samples achieved a threshold level of amplification (the threshold level having been chosen to approximate the minimum amplification level sufficient for successful microsatellite genotyping).
