Very little work has been published to date on the minimum number of clusters required for a multi-level model, however an exploratory analysis done elsewhere suggested there should be at least 10 to 15 clusters [ 38], therefore with 11 practices the dataset was on the margins of what may be a robust approach.
As such, our data contain monthly minimum wages for full-time employees, hourly minimum wages for part-time employees, the effective dates of the minimum wage standards and the extent to which social security payments and/or housing provident funds were included as part of the minimum wage calculations to assure that they are on a comparable basis.
The population was restricted to patients with at least nine months of active registration during 2005 to 2010, defined as the period between (a) the maximum of the patient's current registration date and the practice "up-to-standard" date, and (b) the minimum of the date at which the patient left the practice and the last CPRD collection date from that practice.
In keeping with the ever-expanding points of contention, even the date of the referendum and the minimum number of voting hours are at issue.
Since there is a lack of fossils that would be useful for calibration of the tree within the family, we used a 37 Ma for Rhinolophus-Hipposideros split (37 Myr, [ 43, 65]) to calibrate the tree (since the age of the fossil represents the minimum date of the fossil lineage occurrence, we provided estimates of minimum dates of divergences based on ML branch lengths).
The vertical dashed green lines give the official dates of the solar minima between cycles 22 and 23 and cycles 23 and 24 (Hathaway 2010).
This question was raised over two decades ago, but to date, the minimum amount of physical activity required to prevent and treat the clustering of metabolic risk factors in the pediatric population remains uncertain.
In a media call earlier this month, organizers promised that this year's Black Friday protests would be the "biggest" to date — galvanized by the successes of the minimum wage movement, which has already won its $15 an hour goal in several cities across the country.
In addition to our original divergences calculated with a 10% maximum soft bound, we expanded probability ranges to within 20% of the minimum date.
The variance for the mean date of minimum SD testis volume was significantly greater in the second photoresponsive period of Experiment 2 than in Experiment 1 (variance ratio = 0.105, F = 0.105, P < 0.0001).
