0 the planned day for the start of an important activity:
The starting date for the construction work is 23 June.
Consecutive patients from a specified starting date were included until a predefined number of patients had been enrolled in each centre.
For clinical infections that started during lactation, the recorded date of clinical mastitis was used as the starting date for the clinical infection.
Participants were all nulliparous women attending antenatal care clinics before the 20th week of gestation after a randomly selected starting date.
However, the starting date of the rainy season for the forthcoming growing season will affect a farmer's decision about the appropriate planting date.
Cages were checked at 3-mo intervals from the starting date.
Our selection of this particular starting date may be problematic to the extent that coalition bargaining over the next government may begin while the current government is in office.
I should like an earlier starting date, but the authority must find a place in its programme for it.
Three times we have been promised an early starting date for the hospital.
