The second reason is that if you can track the success of advertising, especially if you can follow sales leads, then marketing ceases to be just a cost-centre, with an arbitrary budget allocated to it.
In this paper we define a new graph-theoretic cyclicity index (CW(G)) as a natural generalization of the global cyclicity index (C(G)) when arbitrary resistances are allocated to each edge of an electrical network.
Arbitrary tasks can be allocated and de-allocated onto FPGA without system interruption.
Intervention groups will be allocated with arbitrary names.
Cytokine measurements below the lower limit of detection of the assays were allocated an arbitrary value of 1 ng/ml to permit intergroup statistical analysis.
The EFSA Comprehensive Database provides a greater level of detail; however, it was not possible to distinguish, for example, between green and black teas and so an arbitrary 50 50 divide was allocated.
To allow statistical analysis with continuous variables, the concentrations below the detection limit were allocated an arbitrary value of 10 pg/ml, representing an undetectable response, whilst results exceeding the assay's upper limit of detection were attributed the concentration corresponding to this limit.
These provisions have turned out to be so constraining that they have effectively disabled the 1984 formula, and the consequence of the amendments is that an ad hoc and arbitrary formula for allocating funds among states continues to be applied.
Based on a number of genetic markers the 70 Beijing isolates could be allocated into 11 different arbitrary sublineages, from more "modern", or "typical" [22] to more "ancient" or "atypical" [22] variants.
Cells were allocated to one of four arbitrary gates (0 to 25 k, >25 to 50 k, >50 to 75 k, >75 to 100 k) to allow statistical comparison of cell size distribution.
