91Shielding effect — The shielding effect describes the decrease in attraction between an electron and the nucleus in any atom with more than one electron shell. It is also referred to as the screening effect or atomic shielding.CauseIn a single electron system such… …
92Assiti Shards effect — In literature, an Assiti Shards event, Assiti Shards accident, a strike by an Assiti shard , or a Ring of Fire , is a plot device in which a large piece of land and everything on it is transported through time. This effect can be considered to be …
93Wahlund effect — In population genetics, the Wahlund effect refers to reduction of heterozygosity in a population caused by subpopulation structure. Namely, if two or more subpopulations have different allele frequencies then the overall heterozygosity is reduced …
94Cohort effect — The term cohort effect is used in social science to describe variations in the characteristics of an area of study (such as the incidence of a characteristic or the age at onset) over time among individuals who are defined by some shared temporal …
95Reverse Short Channel Effect — The reverse short channel effect is a secondary effect describing the reduction in threshold voltage Vth in MOSFETs with non uniformly doped channel regions as the gate length increases. Since drive current is primarily determined by Vth, longer… …
96Rusty bolt effect — When radio waves from clean transmitters interact with dirty connections or corroded parts (which would then act as a diode) of a television, the rusty bolt effect, including the generation of harmonics and/or intermodulation… …
97Massenerhebung effect — The Massenerhebung effect (German for mountain mass elevation ) describes variation in the tree line based on mountain size and location. In general, mountains surrounded by large ranges will tend to have higher tree lines than more isolated… …
98Paternal age effect — The paternal age effect describes the influence that a father s age has on the chances of conferring a genetic defect to his offspring. Generally, older men have a greater probability of fathering children with a genetic defect than younger men… …
99Hall effect — Physics, Elect. the electromotive force generated in a strip of metal longitudinally conducting an electric current and subjected to a magnetic field normal to its major surface. [1900 05; named after Edwin H. Hall (1855 1938), American physicist …
100cohort effect — Any effect associated with being a member of a group born at roughly the same time and bonded by common life experiences (e. g. growing up in the 1980s). The effect is of great interest to advertisers and others involved in marketing. In large… …
