Some engineering problems may lead to the definition of yield when the proportional limit is reached while others allow a plastic strain of up to 0.2 % . As an alternative, it has been proposed in [1], [2] to define the yield point as the absolute maximum of the second derivative of ...
decrease in economic growth. The BI rate variable also has a negative effect on economic growth, and its regulation will significantly influence banking interest rates. Additionally, by lowering the BI rate, bank lending rates also decrease, thereby boosting real sector liquidity and driving economic...
Inverted Yield Curve An inverted yield curve slopes downward with short-term interest rates exceeding long-term rates. This type of curve corresponds to a period of economic recession when investors expect yields on longer-maturity bonds to trend lower in the future. Investors seeking safe investment...

Vaccaro explained that there is a problem with the definition. “It discounts anyone not left needing life support. You can lose a limb and still not need life support,” he said. The CIS itself is chronically under-resourced and overburdened: With only 21 detectives, three police officers,...
What is Social Proof? By definition, social proof is a psychological phenomenon where people assume the actions of others in an attempt to reflect correct behavior for a given situation. In essence, it’s the notion that, since others are doing it, I should be doing it, too. Social proof...
Our interest, however, is not in settling on a definition of LUI, but rather to identify the features of land use change that impact biodiversity. Increased area of land in production is one crucial driver (Fig. 1). However, biodiversity loss does not have to be directly coupled with highe...
Abstract Many high-concentration multiphase materials that are industrially and academically important do not reach thermodynamic equilibrium because of kinetic constraints originating from the structurally arrested microstructure. However, owing to thermal or elastic energy of the constituents, their microstructur...

There are many definitions ofIPMaround. Most of them give ‘minimizing the use of chemicals’ as the main goal. Extreme views equate IPM with pesticide-free fanning. The definition which Ciba supports reads: Integrated Pest Management is the farmer’s best combination of cultural, biological and...
