The improved earnings reflected higher oil prices, which were above $100 a barrel for many benchmark crudes through the period because of continuing unrest in the Middle East and North Africa and strong demand from China and other developing countries.
The error in interface position when using the hybrid level set-volume constraint method is reported for many benchmark problems in polar coordinates, cylindrical coordinates, and on an adaptive grid in which one criteria of adaptivity is the magnitude of the interface curvature.
Our experiments show that SATenstein solvers achieved dramatic performance improvements as compared to the previous state of the art in SLS algorithms; for many benchmark distributions, our new solvers also significantly outperformed all automatically tuned variants of previous state-of-the-art algorithms.
These two sources of variability prove sufficient to account for many benchmark phenomena in decision-making tasks (Brown & Heathcote, 2008).
One assumes every sliced-and-diced index must be useful to someone somewhere, but the investment world's appetite for creating so many benchmarks to measure performance seems basically unhealthy.
But in reality many benchmark prices for oil and other commodities are merely estimates based on incomplete information from unregulated, illiquid markets.
Gene named entity recognition and normalization are the important preprimary steps of biomedical text mining and have been studied for many years, and evaluated in many benchmark datasets, such as JNLPBA (24) and BioCreative challenges (7, 25, 26).
Those rates inched up, to 2.95 percent with an average of.05 points, as the Fed began replacing $400 billion of its short-term Treasury securities, which serve as benchmarks for many ARMs, Mr. Nothaft said.
