To maximize the likely number of source farms per fair from which samples originated, we obtained 1 fecal specimen per cow or 1 fecal specimen per pen for animals displayed in small groups (pigs, sheep, goats, and poultry) with a common owner.
However, if the international political pressure for a no-fly zone becomes too great - some reports have indicated that a resolution is being tabled at the Security Council, and Avaaz is demanding that a no-fly zone be approved - there is a way to do it that would minimize the likely harm, and maximize the potential benefit.
Within the first 20 min after intradermal inoculation, sporozoites displace with high speed and minimal constraint, which likely maximizes the volume of tissue that is explored by the population of sporozoites.
The most-likely value of θ maximizes the likelihood function, and minimizes the negative of the log-likelihood function.
The first approach maximizes the choices available.
"Decisions about diplomacy were hypersensitive to quantity," the researchers note, maximizing the number of lives likely to be saved.
However, we are able to access data unavailable in administrative databases; our definition added the presence of diabetes in the problem list and we used free-text search terms that would likely maximize the number of true positives for the diagnosis of diabetes.
They will do the same for many (if not all) of their products to maximize the return, and more likely to focus on their best selling products.
Research on World War II veterans in the USA reveals that servicemen who entered the service at a younger age were most likely to maximize the support of the G.I. Bill for higher education, while late entrants were least likely to do so and usually suffered from career or marital disruptions (Elder 1987).
We believe that maximizing the concentration of antibiotics at the likely sites of infections, namely the interstitial fluid, will help to obviate the problem of inadequate prophylaxis.
