In dictionaries:
Effective date
Date when terms become operational.
cost effective
Minimizes expense, maximizes financial benefit.
effective method
In logic, mathematics and computer science, especially metalogic and computability theory, an effective method or effective procedure is a procedure for solving a problem by any intuitively 'effective' means from a specific class.
Effective action
In quantum field theory, the quantum effective action is a modified expression for the classical action taking into account quantum corrections while ensuring that the principle of least action applies, meaning that extremizing the effective action yields the equations of motion for the vacuum expectation values of the quantum fields.
Effective demand
Consumer purchasing power meets availability.
effective mass
In solid state physics, a particle's effective mass (often denoted ) is the mass that it seems to have when responding to forces, or the mass that it seems to have when interacting with other identical particles in a thermal distribution.
Effective stress
The effective stress can be defined as the stress, depending on the applied tension and pore pressure , which controls the strain or strength behaviour of soil and rock (or a generic porous body) for whatever pore pressure value or, in other terms, the stress which applied over a dry porous body (i.e. at ) provides the same strain or strength behaviour which is observed at ≠ 0.
effective rate
Interest rate adjusted for compounding.
effective dose
Radiation dose absorbed by body.
effective power
Ability to achieve intended outcomes.
Effective temperature
Measure of star's radiative output.
