Therefore LoCs defined for field studies reflect more directly environmental damage thresholds for protection goals.
Once the damage thresholds for protection goals at EU level (({text{LoC}}_{text{EU-wide}}^{text{n}})) have been defined, damage thresholds for the relevant indicators for ERA testing (the ({text{LoC}}_{text{indicator}}^{text{n}})) can be set.
For instance, it is thought that protection against pneumococcal infection requires progressively lower thresholds for protection against pneumococcal carriage, otitis media, pneumonia and invasive pneumococcal infection [ 40].
The threshold for protection under that law is less than that required for a threatened or endangered listing under the Endangered Species Act.
Since that's the same amount it pays to meet the NATO threshold for protection (Estonia — which has a notably vexed relationship with Russia — has a comparatively small military), its former President Toomas Hendrik Ilves liked to joke that the country got its national security for free.
OPKA threshold for protection is identified as OI ≥ 8.
Moreover, the percentages of children with rSBA titers ≥ 1 128, which is the more conservative threshold for protection, were also evaluated.
Furthermore, on admission with an MI, additional therapy such as oxygen, morphine and nitrates may all precondition the myocardium or at least lower the threshold for protection.
For 45- and 75-year-old men and women (averaged over sex), when the influenza incidence rate was held constant at 10%, the threshold for protection from GBS with vaccination was crossed when the vaccine was at least 39% effective.
This can be seen as an improvement over the use of standard criteria such as seroprotection rates (i.e. percentage of subjects with a HI titre above the 1 40 threshold for protection).
For recipients of the MenC-TT vaccine in infancy, the proportion with MenC rSBA above the threshold for protection as well as the MenC rSBA geometric mean titres were higher than a single MenC-CRM infant priming dose (39.8% v 25.9% (P=0.023) with MenC rSBA ≥1 8, and MenC rSBA geometric mean titres of 9.3 v 4.4, P<0.002).
