Thus, a well-planned adobe wall of the appropriate thickness is very effective at controlling inside temperature through the wide daily fluctuations typical of desert climates, a factor which has contributed to its longevity as a building material.

For stars, in the absence of extensive observations at many wavelengths, it usually must be computed assuming an effective temperature.

Theory predicts that, owing to Altair's rapid rotation, its surface gravity and effective temperature should be lower at the equator, making the equator less luminous than the poles.

Between 70 K and room temperature, berkelium behaves as a Curie – Weiss paramagnetic material with an effective magnetic moment of 9. 69 Bohr magnetons ( µ < sub > B </ sub >) and a Curie temperature of 101 K. This magnetic moment is almost equal to the theoretical value of 9. 72 µ < sub > B </ sub > calculated within the simple atomic L-S coupling model.

Certain bacteria, notably Pseudomonas syringae, are particularly effective at triggering frost formation, raising the nucleation temperature to about − 2 ° C.

The effect of the field in this case is to reduce the effective binding energy of the atom to the surface and to give, in effect, a greatly increased evaporation rate relative to that expected at that temperature at zero fields.

However, since the Earth reflects about 30 % of the incoming sunlight, the planet's effective temperature ( the temperature of a blackbody that would emit the same amount of radiation ) is about − 18 ° C, about 33 ° C below the actual surface temperature of about 14 ° C.

The mechanism that produces this difference between the actual surface temperature and the effective temperature is due to the atmosphere and is known as the greenhouse effect.

By treating the star as an idealized energy radiator known as a black body, the luminosity L and radius R can be related to the effective temperature by the Stefan – Boltzmann law:

This in turn causes the star to become more luminous ( from 1, 000 – 10, 000 times brighter ) and expand ; the degree of expansion outstrips the increase in luminosity, causing the effective temperature to decrease.

Triple point cells are so effective at achieving highly precise, reproducible temperatures, an international calibration standard for thermometers called ITS – 90 relies upon triple point cells of hydrogen, neon, oxygen, argon, mercury, and water for delineating six of its defined temperature points.

But as the temperature of heated plasma rises, the resistance decreases and ohmic heating becomes less effective.

This is seen as a variation in effective temperature over the star: the polar temperature is near 10, 000 K, while the equatorial temperature is 7, 600 K. As a result, if Vega were viewed along the plane of its equator, then the luminosity would be about half the apparent luminosity as viewed from the pole.

In the early 1950s workers at Phillips Petroleum discovered that chromium catalysts are highly effective for the low temperature polymerization of ethylene, which launched a major industrial technologies.

The surface of a star is defined to have a temperature given by the effective temperature in the Stefan – Boltzmann law.

By using a simple model for stellar atmospheres, assuming local thermal equilibrium in a plane parallel geometry and the Eddington approximation, the effective temperature of the sun can be shown to occur at an optical depth of 2 / 3.

The Sun's photosphere has a temperature between 4500 and 6000 K ( with an effective temperature of 5777 K ) and a density of about 2 kg / m < sup > 3 </ sup >; other stars may have hotter or cooler photospheres.

While other conditions might be even more effective in bringing about a change from immobility to mobility in Kohnstamm reactivity, it is our hypothesis that all such conditions would have as a common factor the capacity to induce an attitude in the subject which enabled him to divorce himself temporarily from feelings of responsibility for his behavior.

This exchange must result in our ending up with some effective units.

The Practice Statement is an effective abandonment of our pretention to infallibility.

While confirming that quantum mechanics and gravity are indeed consistent at reasonable energies, it is clear that near or above the fundamental cutoff of our effective quantum theory of gravity ( the cutoff is generally assumed to be of the order of the Planck scale ), a new model of nature will be needed.

While this is effective since it accords with our human reason, it is not the only way that the text can be broken up.

No one can ever compute the price that all of us have paid for that Act which, by inducing less effective use of capital, has kept our standard of living lower than would otherwise have been possible.

The act, still effective, was sponsored by Senator Robert Taft and Representative Fred A. Hartley, Jr. and became law by overcoming U. S. President Harry S. Truman's veto on June 23, 1947 ; labor leaders called it the " slave-labor bill " while President Truman argued that it was a " dangerous intrusion on free speech ," and that it would " conflict with important principles of our democratic society ," Nevertheless, Truman would subsequently use it twelve times during his presidency.

With regard to export control laws in particular, effective enforcement is greatly enhanced by both international cooperation and an effort to harmonize the substance of U. S. laws with those of our principal trading partners.

: It is our aspiration and our aim that everyone should become socially conscious and effective ; but to achieve this end, it is necessary to provide all with the means of life and for development, and it is therefore necessary to destroy with violence, since one cannot do otherwise, the violence which denies these means to the workers.

No one can ever compute the price that all of us have paid for that Act which, by inducing less effective use of capital, has kept our standard of living lower than would otherwise have been possible.

# Strategic Inventory Positioning-The first question of effective inventory management is not, “ how much inventory should we have ?” Nor is it, “ when should we make or buy something ?” The most fundamental question to ask in today ’ s manufacturing environments is, “ given our system and environment, where should we place inventory to have the best protection ?” Inventory is like a break wall to protect boats in a marina from the roughness of incoming waves.

Whilst targeted hygiene was originally developed as an effective approach to hygiene practice, it also seeks, as far as possible, to sustain " normal " levels of exposure to the microbial flora of our environment to the extent that is important to build a balanced immune system.

" Particularly among the nobility, understanding emptiness was considered the most effective means to spiritual awakening, while embracing imperfection was honoured as a healthy reminder to cherish our unpolished selves, here and now, just as we are-the first step to " satori " or enlightenment.

The available evidence suggests that the Hypericum extracts tested in the included trials a ) are superior to placebo in patients with major depression ; b ) are similarly effective as standard antidepressants ; and c ) have fewer side-effects than standard antidepressants. There are two issues that complicate the interpretation of our findings: 1 ) While the influence of precision on study results in placebo-controlled trials is less pronounced in this updated version of our review compared to the previous version ( Linde 2005a ), results from more precise trials still show smaller effects over placebo than less precise trials. 2 ) Results from German-language countries are considerably more favourable for Hypericum than trials from other countries.

We considered many factors in reaching this difficult decision, and ultimately decided that the Answers community's limited size and other product considerations made it more effective for us to focus our efforts on other ways to help our users find information.

After the defeat at Cape Matapan, the Italian Admiral Iachino wrote that the battle had " the consequence of limiting for some time our operational activities, not for the serious moral effect of the losses, as the British believed, but because the operation revealed our inferiority in effective aero-naval cooperation and the backwardness of our night battle technology.

This is expected to be especially useful far from the Sun, where the increased effective size of a M2P2 sail compensates for the reduced dynamic pressure of the solar wind.

The photosphere of the Sun has an effective temperature of 5, 570 K yet its corona has an average temperature of 1 – 2 × 10 < sup > 6 </ sup > K. However, the hottest regions are 8 – 20 × 10 < sup > 6 </ sup > K. The high temperature of the corona shows that it is heated by something other than direct heat conduction from the photosphere.

* Light from the Sun: The effective temperature of the Sun is 5778 K. Using Wien's law, it is often concluded that this corresponds to a peak emission at a wavelength of 2. 90 million nm K / 5778 K = 502 nm.
