benchmark

However, scientific studies have found that biofuel projects often fail to meet this benchmark, and sometimes even perform worse than coal.

Current PCB materials are practically unbeatable in terms of robustness, and they are the benchmark for current rules regarding electronic components, Kleeman notes.

"The long-term hope is that this study acts as a benchmark for similar discoveries."

Again, it was not to the level against Japan where England could expect to beat the likes of South Africa as the benchmark.

“Critics fail to understand that when you diverge from any benchmark, your investment performance will not correlate precisely with that benchmark,” Achtermann said.
