This phenomenon arising due to the nature of charge carriers in the conductor came to be known as the Hall effect, but it was not properly explained at the time, since the electron was experimentally discovered 18 years later.

The Coen Brothers are known for using this technique in all of their films, though not always to comedic effect.

The members of this group are known as catnip or catmint because of their effect on cats — the nepetalactone contained in nepeta binds to the olfactory receptors of cats, typically resulting in temporary euphoria.

These devices work on the principle known as the magnetocaloric effect.

The radiation converts to heat which causes global warming, which is better known as the greenhouse effect.

The term is best known as a mechanical effect, and is used as an analogy to a falling row of dominoes.

However, this argument has been described as an example of the fallacy of a statistical confounding effect ; it is now known that a herpesvirus, potentiated by HIV, is responsible for AIDS-associated KS.

The OED defines all classical uses of the word " whom " in situations where the indirect object is not known – in effect, indicating the anonymity of the indirect object.

With one third of the game ( 9 levels ) distributed as shareware, Doom was played by an estimated 10 million people within two years of its release, popularizing the mode of gameplay and spawning a gaming subculture ; as a sign of its effect on the industry, games from the mid-1990s boom of first-person shooters are often known simply as " Doom clones ".

The orientation of the Earth's axis and equator are not fixed in space, but rotate about the poles of the ecliptic with a period of about 26, 000 years, a process known as lunisolar precession, as it is due mostly to the gravitational effect of the Moon and Sun on the Earth's equatorial bulge.

The serious errors which he found in previous Arabian star catalogues ( many of which had simply updated Ptolemy's work, adding the effect of precession to the longitudes ) induced him to redetermine the positions of 992 fixed stars, to which he added 27 stars from Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi's catalogue Book of Fixed Stars from the year 964, which were too far south for observation from Samarkand.

Although one important component of a gyrocompass is a gyroscope, these are not the same devices ; a gyrocompass is built to use the effect of gyroscopic precession, which is a distinctive aspect of the general gyroscopic effect.

It shows how astronomical observations prove the inverse square law of gravitation ( to an accuracy that was high by the standards of Newton's time ); offers estimates of relative masses for the known giant planets and for the Earth and the Sun ; defines the very slow motion of the Sun relative to the solar-system barycenter ; shows how the theory of gravity can account for irregularities in the motion of the Moon ; identifies the oblateness of the figure of the Earth ; accounts approximately for marine tides including phenomena of spring and neap tides by the perturbing ( and varying ) gravitational attractions of the Sun and Moon on the Earth's waters ; explains the precession of the equinoxes as an effect of the gravitational attraction of the Moon on the Earth's equatorial bulge ; and gives theoretical basis for numerous phenomena about comets and their elongated, near-parabolic orbits.

The magnitude of the Earth's tilt, as opposed to merely its orientation, also changes slowly over time, but this effect is not attributed directly to precession.

The Overhauser effect magnetometer or Overhauser magnetometer uses the same fundamental effect as the proton precession magnetometer to take measurements.

By adding free radicals to the measurement fluid, the nuclear Overhauser effect can be exploited to significantly improve upon the proton precession magnetometer.

The right-side ( usually the chain side ) hole is right-hand threaded, and the left-side hole is left-hand ( reverse ) threaded to help prevent it from becoming unthreaded by an effect called precession.

After spinning upright for an extended period, the angular momentum, and therefore the gyroscopic effect will gradually lessen, leading to ever increasing precession, finally causing the top to topple in a frequently violent last thrash.
