Inverse ETFs are designed to seek daily investment results that correspond to the inverse daily performance of their underlying index or benchmark. To meet their investment objectives, inverse ETFs use a variety of derivatives such as futures contracts and index swaps to reproduce a daily result that is the opposite of the underlying index or benchmark; so, when the index or benchmark goes down in value on a given day, the inverse ETF will correspondingly go up in value for that given day.

Permanent Magnet Materials. Permanent magnets are used in the following major groups: acoustic transducers, motors and generators, magneto mechanical devices, and magnetic field and imaging systems. You will find permanent magnets in many products, such as televisions, telephones, computers, audio systems and automobiles.

Passive management means investing in securities that replicate the performance of a specific market index.

[Indexed management] differs from active investment management in that the investment decisions do not rely on investment managers, strategies, stock selection or market timing. Instead, the portfolio seeks to emulate - or track - either a market index, or a specifically designed index.

Four simple conceptual daily rainfall-runoff models are applied to a 25-basin data set. The drainage basins are all from the UK, covering a range of sizes, topographies, soils and climates. The quality of the simulation of the observed response is classically quantified by a minimized objective function. However, in this instance, model performance is judged by a range of quantitative and qualitative measures of fit, applied to both the calibration and validation periods. These include efficiency, mean annual runoff, baseflow index, the synthetic monthly and daily flow regimes, and the flow duration curve.  1, record 29, English, - baseflow%20index

Ces bassins versants, de taille, topographie, sol et climat variés, sont tous situés au Royaume Uni. La qualité de la simulation des observations est quantifiée en minimisant une fonction objective classique. Cependant, dans notre exemple, la performance d'un modèle est jugée en mesurant qualitativement et quantitativement l'ajustement, à la fois sur la période de calage et sur la période de validation. Ces mesures comprennent l'efficacité, l'écoulement moyen annuel, l'indice de débit de base, les régimes synthétiques des débits mensuels et annuel et la courbe débit-durée-fréquence.  1, record 29, French, - indice%20de%20d%C3%A9bit%20de%20base

Other useful measures are the TSE total-return index, which is similar to the composite index except that it assumes reinvestment of dividends. To measure fixed-income performance, there's the ScotiaMcLeod Universe bond index, composed of Canadian bonds of varying maturities. If you invest equally in Canadian bonds and stocks, for example, you should be earning a return midway between the two. Over the past 10 years, with the TSE total-return index averaging a 7. 58% gain a year, and the bond index, assuming reinvestment, going up 13. 27%, that translates into an average annual return of 10. 4%.  2, record 33, English, - Toronto%20Stock%20Exchange%20300%20total%20return%20index

Field applications are so diverse and conditions so varied that it is a formidable task to provide test data that can help the engineer choose the correct geotextile... for the intended application. Virtually all durability tests are "index" tests which allow the design engineer to compare the performance of different engineering fabrics.... While durability criteria can include a host of physical properties such as resistance to puncture, tear, cutting, etc., most criteria are considered as mechanical properties of the geotextile.

L'indice de groupe d'un sol est défini par la formule: i = 0,2a + 0,005 ac + 0,01 bd. On désigne par X le pourcentage de fines contenues dans le sol, de grosseur inférieure à 74 microns. Les paramètres a,b,c, et d se définissent à partir de X, de LL [(limite de liquidité]) et de IP [(indice de plasticité]). On a: a = X - 35, avec 0 et 40 comme limites, b = X - 15, avec 0 et 40 comme limites, C = LL - 40, avec 0 et 20 comme limites, d = IP - 10, avec 0 et 20 comme limites. On obtient un i toujours positif et compris entre 0 et 20.
