• In economics, yield is a measure of the amount of income an investment generates over time (related to return on investment). For example, farmers talk of the yield per unit area of land.
• In finance, the yield on a security is the return for the year divide by value of the security.
  • In the case of a bond, yield is its current yield.
  • In the case of a stock, yield is its dividend yield.
• In chemical synthesis, yield is the amount of product produced out of compounds that are known as reagents or reactants.
• Yield is a condition in steel and other metals under tensile stress where it becomes plastic, deformationDeformation is a change in shape due to an applied force. This can be a result of tensile (pulling forces) or of compressive (pushing forces) loads being applied. In the figure it can be seen that the compressive loading (indicated by the arrow) has cause is large, and will ultimately break. See tensile strengthThe tensile strength of a material is the maximum amount of tensile stress that it can be subjected to before it breaks. Tensile strength is an important concept in engineering, especially in the fields of material science, mechanical engineering and stru.
• In semiconductor device fabricationSemiconductor device fabrication is the process used to create chips, the integrated circuits that are present in everyday electrical and electronic devices. It is a multiple-step sequence of photographic and chemical processing steps during which electro, yield is the ratio of functionally working devices and the total number of devices produced.
• The explosive yield of a nuclear weaponmushroom cloud of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, Japan, in 1945 lifted nuclear fallout some 60,000 feet (18 km) above the epicenter. A nuclear weapon is a weapon that derives its energy from nuclear reactions and has enormous destructive power a single n is expressed in the equivalent mass of trinitrotolueneTrinitrotoluene TNT is a pale yellow crystalline aromatic hydrocarbon compound that melts at 354 K (178 °F). Trinitrotoluene is an explosive chemical and a part of many explosive mixtures, such as when mixed with ammonium nitrate to form amatol. It is pre (TNT).
• In fisheries science, yield refers to amount of catchIn baseball rules, a catch occurs when a fielder gains secure possession of a batted ball in flight, and maintains possession until he voluntarily or negligently releases the ball. When a catch occrus, the batter is out, and runners, once they properly ta. See maximum sustainable yieldIn fisheries science, maximum sustainable yield or MSY is the largest long-term average yield/ catch that can be taken from a stock of fish without depressing the species' ability to reproduce. A typical MSY is about 80% of the total population biomass of and optimum sustainable yield.
• Yield is the name of a Pearl Jam album.
