51Ground effect in cars — For another similarly named effect relating to aircraft, see Ground effect in aircraft. Ground effect is term applied to a series of aerodynamic effects used in car design, which has been exploited to create downforce, particularly in racing cars …
52Hall of mirrors effect — [ Doom II .] In computer graphics, the hall of mirrors (HOM) effect is a visual anomaly caused by missing or broken surfaces during 3D rendering. When a surface is not drawn, the area of the screen where it would have rendered retains the… …
53Skin effect — Skin depth redirects here. For the depth (layers) of biological/organic skin, see skin. Skin effect is the tendency of an alternating electric current (AC) to distribute itself within a conductor with the current density being largest near the… …
54Hydrophobic effect — The hydrophobic effect is the property that non polar molecules tend to form intermolecular aggregates in an aqueous medium and analogous intramolecular interactions. [GoldBookRef|title=hydrophobic interaction|file=H02907] [ Interfaces and the… …
55Balassa-Samuelson effect — The Balassa Samuelson effect (also known as Harrod Balassa Samuelson effect (Kravis and Lipsey 1983), the Ricardo Viner Harrod Balassa Samuelson Penn Bhagwati effect (Samuelson 1994, p. 201), productivity biased purchasing power parity (PPP)… …
56McCollough effect — (click to enlarge) A test image for the McCollough effect. On first looking at this image, the vertical and horizontal lines should look black and white, colourless. After induction (see images below), the horizontal lines should look greenish… …
57Organic field-effect transistor — OFET based flexible display An organic field effect transistor (OFET) is a field effect transistor using an organic semiconductor in its channel. OFETs can be prepared either by vacuum evaporation of small molecules, by solution casting of… …
58Antenna effect — The antenna effect, more formally plasma induced gate oxide damage, is an effect that can potentially cause yield and reliability problems during the manufacture of MOS integrated circuits [ T. Watanabe, Y. Yoshida, “Dielectric Breakdown of Gate… …
59Low-pressure area — This depiction of the Hadley cell shows the process which sustains low pressure areas. Diverging winds aloft allow for lower pressure and convergence at the Earth s surface, which leads to upward motion. A low pressure area, or low , is a region… …
60Sagnac effect — The Sagnac effect (also called Sagnac Interference), named after French physicist Georges Sagnac, is a phenomenon encountered in interferometry that is elicited by rotation. The Sagnac effect manifests itself in a setup called ring interferometry …
