  Yield curve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The yield of a financial instrument is the amount of money to be made per year by investing in that instrument.
This theory suggests that the yield on a long-term instrument is equal to the geometric mean of the yield on a series of short-term instruments.
Yield curves are usually upward sloping and accelerating; the longer the maturity, the higher the yield.

Yield is a condition in steel and other metals under tensile stress where it becomes plastic, deformation is large, and will ultimately break.

 Yield - Analysis Abstracts
When the design is routed, resulting in a yield which is significantly smaller than the bound, the designer can choose to change the router cost functions, modify the placement or even re-design the unit in an attempt to increase the yield.
Design-stage yield enhancement techniques are aimed at making the integrated circuit {\em defect-tolerant}, i.e., less sensitive to manufacturing defects, and they include incorporating redundancy into the design, modifying the circuit floorplan and modifying its layout.
The yield of a VLSI chip depends, among other factors, on the sensitivity of the chip to defects occurring during the fabrication process.

 Yield Mapping (Site-Specific Farming -- Number 3)
The yield map is not only a record of yield variability within the field, but also allows a producer to research the question of why certain areas produced the way they did.
Each yield measurement is pounds or bushels of grain for an area equal to the combine width times the length the combine travels in the time the operator sets the measurement for (one, two, three or more seconds).
Grain yields are variable on a small scale, and the flow tends to even out some of the small-scale yield variability as it passes through the combine cleaning system.

 Setting Realistic Crop Yield Goals   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
If yield goals are too low, recommended fertilizer rates aren't sufficient for the most profitable yield and farm profitability is being reduced.
Yield goals may have to be adjusted downward for these situations.
With this approach the recent average (3-5 years) is increased by 10% to 20% with the higher yield becoming the yield goal.

 ARS | Publication request: Potato Yield Monitoring on Comercial Fields
Yield monitoring data was not always consistent from digger to digger probably due to inconsistent calibration between harvesters and equipment performing differently on different harvesters.
In all years, yield monitoring data was missing from some part of the fields due to equipment failure or not having yield monitoring equipment installed on all potato diggers.
We found that some yield monitor data need minimal post-processing or correction, while other yield monitor data need substantial post-processing to make them usable, while still other yield monitor data may not be reliable due to equipment failure or other causes.

 Yield Monitors and Maps: Making Decisions, AEX-550-97
Yield monitoring can be defined as "the measurement of the harvested portion of a crop over space and time and the summation of those measurements in graphical form" (1994 Pierce).
Yield maps are a very important piece of information and one of the first things a farmer wants to see after harvesting a field.
A yield map does not indicate why yields vary, whether yield potential is reached anywhere in the field, or predict yield patterns in future years.

 The Relationship between Corn Grain and Forage Yield - An Update
It is difficult to obtain data for both corn grain and forage yield as usually one or the other is harvested in a field or research plot situation.
Grain yield treatment means ranged from 0 to 256 bushels per acre while dry matter forage yields ranged from 3.0 to 12.3 tons dry matter per acre.
The relationship between grain yield and forage yield was mostly linear through forage yields of 8 tons dry matter per acre.

Below average yields (20 to 30 per cent) of white wines had good varietal fruit definition; while the cool to mild conditions before and after the March rainfall allowed ripening to proceed at a normal pace, notwithstanding the below average yields.
McLaren Vale yields were down around 20 per cent overall, with normal amounts of the best chardonnay for many years, cabernet sauvignon down five to ten per cent, deeply coloured shiraz down 30 to 40 per cent.
Yields were down in 2003, and quality across the board is sound rather than outstanding, although red wine colour is a strong point.

 More About Yield Goals
Yield goals are needed if you are going to decrease the cost of production to improve farm profitablity.
On the other hand, if the yield goals are too low, nutrients recommended are not sufficient for the most profitable yield, and farm profitability may be reduced.
The practical range for a yield goal should be somewhere above average to near the maximum yield in the last three to five years.

If working properly, a yield monitor can determine bushels per acre to within a 3 percent margin of error.
