71Thermic effect of food — (also commonly known simply as thermic effect when the context is known), or TEF in shorthand, is the increment in energy expenditure above resting metabolic rate due to the cost of processing food for storage and use.1 It is one of the… …
72Ratchet effect — The ratchet effect is the commonly observed phenomenon that some processes cannot go backwards once certain things have happened, by analogy with the mechanical ratchet that holds the spring tight as a clock is wound up. It is related to the… …
73Therapeutic effect — A therapeutic effect is a consequence of a medical treatment, of any kind, the results of which are judged to be desirable and beneficial. This is true whether the result was expected, unexpected, or even an unintended consequence of the… …
74Polar effect — The Polar effect or electronic effect in chemistry is the effect exerted by a substituent on modifying electrostatic forces operating on a nearby reaction center. The main contributors to the polar effect are the inductive effect, mesomeric… …
75Woodward effect — The Woodward Effect, also called the Mach Effect (particularly by Dr. Woodward himself), is an experimental method for propellantless propulsion. It was first proposed by Dr. James F. Woodward, a physicist at California State University at… …
76Suess effect — The Suess effect is dilution of the atmospheric concentrations of heavy isotopes of carbon (13C and 14C) by the of large amounts of fossil fuel derived CO2, which is depleted in 13CO2 and does not contain any 14CO2. [cite journal | url=http://www …
77Ringelmann effect — The Ringelmann effect refers to a combination of social loafing and coordination losses. Coordination loss refers to the lack of simultaneity of effort in groups, which interferes with efficiently combining individual inputs. French agricultural… …
78Thorpe-Ingold effect — The Thorpe Ingold effect or gem dimethyl effect, or angle compression is an effect observed in organic chemistry where increasing the size of two substituents on a tetrahedral center leads to enhanced reactions between parts of the other two… …
79McClintock effect — The McClintock effect, also known as menstrual synchrony or the dormitory effect, is a theory that proposes that the menstrual cycles of women who live together (such as in prisons, convents, bordellos, or dormitories) tend to become synchronized …
80Anomalous photovoltaic effect — The anomalous photovoltaic effect (APE) is a type of a photovoltaic effect which occurs in semiconducting materials. The anomalous refers to those cases where the photovoltage is larger than the band gap of the corresponding semiconductor.This… …
