The phrase "reach a specific threshold" is correct and can be used in written English.
You can use it to refer to any situation where a certain benchmark or level of something needs to be achieved. For example, "In order to be admitted into this university, students must reach a specific threshold of academic achievement."
Once, say, the "up" neurons reach a specific threshold, they pass on the message that the dots are moving in that direction.
Interestingly, this suggests that the drug used during selection must reach a specific threshold concentration before any degree of drug resistance is achieved.
Generation of quantitative data is based on the number of cycles needed for amplification-generated fluorescence to reach a specific threshold of detection (the Ct value).
More precisely, the filter removes positions at which the maximal MAF does not reach a specific threshold (default: 1/(1.5× h), with h being the number of haplotypes in the DNA pool).
Expression levels of the nine housekeeping genes in all the sample pools were determined by the number of cycles (Cq) needed for the amplification related fluorescence to reach a specific threshold level of detection.
Expression levels of each one of the 19 candidate reference genes in all samples were determined by assessing the number of threshold cycles (Ct) needed for the amplification related fluorescence to reach a specific threshold level detection.
Reactive approaches invoke adaptation when a monitored metric, e.g. CPU utilisation, reaches a specific threshold.
36 patients with suspected hydrocephalus underwent a spinal infusion test: a constant rate infusion of 1 mL/min was administered until pressure reached a specific threshold.
In all cases, resistance was only achieved when selection reached a specific threshold dose, which was well within the clinical range.
However damaging it may be to male fertility, low levels of deleterious mutated mtDNA will not affect male's fitness until the levels of mutated mtDNA reach a mutation specific threshold level [ 55, 63].
Furthermore, HRQL might also represent a viable treatment goal because reaching a specific post-treatment threshold on the PCS was associated with better survival.
