  Regulation
In particular, in the European Union, a regulation is directly enforced as law in all EU member states.
Concerning EC Law, Regulation has a general aim, and is obligatory in all its elements and directly applicable in all Member States of the European Union.
Because regulations are directly effective, the individual countries do not need to pass local laws to bring them into effect, and indeed any local laws contrary to the regulation are overruled (as EC Law is supreme over the laws of the Member States).

 Decision Making about Effective Behavioral Support   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Decisions about the effective behavioral support system are made by a team comprised of representatives of the entire school building, for example, general and special educators, educational assistants, related services personnel, and administrators.
Studies that directly measure the behavior the effective behavioral support procedure is interested in changing should be given more weight in final decision making than those studies that rely on secondary sources of information regarding outcomes.
Effectively changing problem behavior is beyond the expertise of a single special or general educator.

 PlanetPapers - European Union - When and to what extent are directives ‘directly effective’?
The case also confirmed the position that individuals could only rely upon rights directly under the directive “at the end of the prescribed period and in the event of a the member states default,” at which point the member state forfeits any discretion they were given and the directive becomes directly effective.
However this problem regarding the ‘horizontal’ limitation on the scope of directives which means that they are not directly effective in all circumstances, has somewhat been alleviated with the courts developing a number of other measures through which directives can have legal effect in member states, enhancing their domestic application.
Directives appear to be vertically directly effective with horizontal limitations but this is a position that has been undermined with the expansive definition of state and the concept of indirect effect which provide another means for directives to be given legal effect within member states without having to encounter the restrictive conditions of direct effect.

 Asthma: Potentially Effective Interventions | CDC APRHB
Control of asthma requires appropriate diagnosis, effective use of medications, knowledge and understanding of the causes and consequences of the disease, and modifications of environmental exposures and behaviors that may negatively impact the disease.
In addition to what occurs in the clinician’s office, a number of interventions have been demonstrated to be potentially effective in improving asthma control and are generally implemented in community settings with groups of people who have asthma.
This site provides information on potentially effective interventions for asthma control, including methodology for identification of the interventions, results, lessons learned, information on the interventions themselves, a bibliography of reviewed literature, and case studies of several interventions.

 Directly from Nature - Information about Neem
Early studies verified scientifically that the fungus that causes ringworm is effectively controlled with neem extracts.
In a study on neem's effectiveness as an anti-viral agent, neem seemed to interact with the surface of cells to prevent infection by the virus thereby inhibiting multiplication of the virus.
This combination of effects is more effective in the long run because chemicals toxic enough to eliminate all microbes often also harm healthy body tissue and cause undesirable side-effects.

 Postgraduate Medicine: Management of tuberculosis
An effective anti-TB regimen must contain multiple drugs to which the organism is susceptible and must be continued for a sufficient period of time.
In general, treatment with at least three effective drugs should be continued until the culture becomes negative, and then a regimen of at least two drugs should be continued for 12 to 24 months (2,7,8).
Directly observed therapy has shown improved survival and decline in the rate of new cases of active TB.

 APHA - Journal and Newspaper - American Journal of Public Health - Editorials July 1998 - Nihilism and Pragmatism in ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
But directly observed therapy undermines public health nihilism wherever it improves TB outcomes through what is, after all, a modest and focused public health intervention.
Close scrutiny of settings in which directly observed therapy is held to be key to reversing unwelcome trends in TB control reveals it to have been merely one component of improved services.
Growing inequalities in terms of risk and resources have led to lopsided investments in TB control: we see, for example, an inordinate focus on infection control in industrialized countries even as it is routinely argued that the treatment of drug-resistant TB is not "cost-effective" in resource-poor countries.

 Effective Federal Tax Rates: 1979-2001
The tables show effective tax rates for the four largest sources of federal revenues--individual income taxes, corporate income taxes, payroll taxes, and excise taxes--as well as the total effective rate for the four taxes combined.
Excise taxes were assumed to be borne by households according to their consumption of taxed goods (tobacco and alcohol) or--in the case of excise taxes that affect intermediate goods--in proportion to overall consumption.
Separate tables show effective tax rates and income for different types of household: those with members under age 18 (households with children), those headed by a person age 65 or older and with no member under age 18 (elderly childless households), and all others (nonelderly childless households).

 FDIC: FIL-46-2005: Guidance on Developing an Effective Pre-Employment Background Screening Process
This process can be an effective risk-management tool by providing management with a degree of certainty that the information provided by the applicant is true and correct, and that the potential employee does not have a criminal record.
Used effectively, the pre-employment background screening process may reduce turnover by verifying that the potential employee has the requisite skills, certification, license or degree for the position; deter theft and embezzlement; and prevent litigation over hiring practices.
However, to be effective, bank management should establish in writing criteria for when pre-employment background screening should be used and for circumstances or positions that may warrant increased screening procedures based upon perceived risks.

 Direct effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Directives are incapable of being horizontally directly effective due to the fact that they are only enforceable against the state.
Decisions are directly effective against whomever they are addressed, as under Article 249 of the EC Treaty "they are binding in their entirety on the party to whom they are addressed".
As directives specify the results to be achieved, but the method and actual implementation is left to the national governments (subject to a specified time limit), they are not capable of being directly effective as they are not intended to create rights.

 Relationships: Effective Communication and Healthy Relationships
Effective communication is essential in day-to-day life, and especially so in important relationships.
Whenever one person seeks to always be right, always be the agenda-setter, and always be the virtuous one, he or she may feel like a winner - but it's the relationship that loses.
Where there are many factors involved in healthy relationships, the ability to communicate effectively is one important route to mutual satisfaction within any relationship.

 Directly Observed Therapy Effective in Difficult-to-Treat HIV-Positive IV Drug Users   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
This treatment approach, termed directly observed therapy or DOT, is effective even in patients who continue their recreational drug use, researchers reported at the 41st Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) meeting, held Dec. 13-16, in Chicago, Illinois.
Methadone and antiretroviral drugs were dispensed daily and administered to patients as part of the directly observed therapy.
Although both once-daily and twice-daily therapy were equally effective, there were apparent immunologic benefits for a once-daily regimen of NVP/ddI/3TC, he noted, making this regimen the strategy of choice in this population.

In this special case, it is possible to obtain a full solution of all orbital and stellar parameters, with the exception of the effective temperature of one star, which is normally estimated from spectral type, reddening-corrected photometric colors, or derived from atmospheric analysis of the spectrum.
Long-baseline interferometry at facilities such as the ESO VLTI is beginning to have the capability to measure directly the angular separation and the angular diameter of some selected eclipsing binary systems, and we have proposed such observations with the AMBER instrument.
In particular, we aim at deriving directly the effective temperature of at least one of the components in each binary system by iterative convergence of the orbital solution and of the interferometric measurements, thereby avoiding any assumptions or required external calibration in the global solution through the Wilson-Devinney method.
