Understanding when input materials change upstream can ensure better "right first time" rates in production.
"Last August was the first time rates went down and muni yields rose," Mr. Doe said.
It is the first time rates have been raised since December 2015 when the benchmark rate was lifted from near-zero for seven years since the crisis.
We aimed to investigate, for the first time, rates of suicidal behaviour (ideation and acts) in people with borderline intellectual functioning in a general population sample, and to compare these to rates in people with normal functioning.
For the first time, rate equations derived from three kinetic models (Power law, Langmuir-Hinshelwood, and Eley-Rideal) were investigated in data fitting through nonlinear regression using Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, and evaluated based on proposed statistical and thermodynamics criteria.
In fact, to buy the industry's explanation, one would have to accept the notion that juries engineered large jury awards in the mid-1970s (the first time rates skyrocketed), then stopped for a decade, then started again in the mid-1980s (the second time this happened), stopped for 17 years, and the started again in 2002.
This contradicted Newspolls quarterly polling indicating the Rann Labor government slipping to a two-party preferred figure of 57 percent down four percent, with a preferred premier rating of 52 percent down 14 percent for Rann and a first-time rating of 21 percent for Martin Hamilton-Smith.
Because of the increased number of first-time rate payers, collection rates could deteriorate, causing a further increase in costs.
Overall, the observed rate at mt16S (about 1.25% per million years) was comparable to previous studies at this locus, while the first-time rate estimates at the other three loci appeared to be about half as fast (Table 1).
While companies will enjoy a lower rate than counterparts in Norway, Italy, Sweden and the Netherlands for the first time, the rate will still be higher than Switzerland, Poland, Iceland and Ireland.
I don't think anyone considers this a sustainable level of unemployment, however, and indeed, the first time the rate dipped below 4% the Fed responded with a 50 basis-point increase in the federal funds rate.
