The objective of our study is to develop a drought yield index (DYI) that takes into account yield under both moderate and severe drought stress for the identification of breeding lines with superior performance over current cultivated varieties.
Power light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for public lighting are distinguished from other LEDs by the need to obtain a color yield index (CYI) greater than 85, the highest possible optical power (>> 1 W), high luminous efficiency (>> 100 lm.W−1), excellent thermal management with thermal resistances of assemblies lower than 4°C.W−1, and the lowest possible manufacturing cost (<$4/lampp).
I often recommend junkier bonds; this category (as measured by a Merrill Lynch high yield index) had a 7.8% total return.
These statistically significant relationships support the accuracy of a potential sediment yield index approach for identifying suspended sediment sources at soil mapping unit scales.
Spreads on junk bonds the difference in yields between corporate and comparable Treasury bonds–have been climbing, from 2.4 percentage points in June to a recent 8 percentage points, as measured by Merrill Lynch's Master II High Yield Index (a collection of bonds with a weighted average credit rating of B1).
And the KDP High Yield Index, a measure of the cost of loans for companies with poor credit, has risen from under 11percenttotoverer 17percentt.
This security's payout is tied to a five-year Treasury yield index and is reset only once every five years.
Fear of this happening probably explains why CSFB's High-Yield Telecom index has widened 475 basis points from its best 1997 level, versus a widening of 376 basis points for the high- yield index as a whole.
Area-yield index does not directly rely on a weather parameter for crop insurance contract design but it depends on crop yield index across a representative target area or individual farm historical yield.
For Bos taurus autosome 5, the most likely models were a pleiotropic QTL affecting CM2, CM3, and SCS, and a linked QTL affecting fat yield index.
