  Effective mass in semiconductors
The effective mass of these anisotropic minima is characterized by a longitudinal mass along the corresponding equivalent (100) direction and two transverse masses in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
for instance for a single band minimum described by a longitudinal mass and two transverse masses the effective mass for density of states calculations is the geometric mean of the three masses.
The effective mass for conductivity calculation is the mass which is used in conduction related problems accounting for the detailed structure of the semiconductor.

  Effective mass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In solid state physics, a particle's effective mass is the mass it seems to carry in the semiclassical model of transport in a crystal.
Effective mass, being generally dependent on direction (with respect to the crystal axes), is a tensor.
Effective mass should not be confused with reduced mass, which is a concept from Newtonian mechanics.

The increase in effective mass with speed is given by the expression
This increased effective mass is evident in cyclotrons and other accelerators where the speed approaches c.
Upon being introduced to special relativity for the first time, it is easier to contemplate concepts like the speed of light as the speed limit of the universe by envisioning the mass as increasing to infinity at velocity c.

This article says that an electron hole in silicon has effective mass around 1.00me.
This article uses the density of states effective mass, while the other article you mention just uses the heavy hole effective mass.
Also, to my eye, the effective mass quoted for electrons in GaAs in this article is just plain wrong...

 2.3.1 Effective Masses
The decisive factor for the effective mass is thus the
the radius of an inscribed circle is small); we thus expect the effective mass of the electrons to be smaller than the effective mass of the holes.
However, if we know the the dispersion curves (either from involved calculations or from measurements), we can put a number to the effective masses and find that they are not too different from the real masses.

With the Ladegaard arm, the total mass of the arm assembly and the slider is your horizontal moving mass, and your vertical moving mass is more difficult to calculate.
It is related to the distribution of mass, m, times (the distance to the vertical pivot, d, squared) - in practice it is dominated by two things: the mass of the counter weight and the mass of the cartridge.
It represents the equivalent mass that would need to to be at the stylus location that, once in motion, would have the same opposition to a force applied to it.

Effective mass is an important concept in semiconductor physics.
It can be shown that electrons and holes in a crystal respond to an electric field almost as if they were free particles in a vacuum, but with a different mass.
Effective mass is generally dependent on direction (with respect to the crystal axes), however for most calculations the various directions can be averaged out.

To the degree to which normal modes can be described as a simple harmonic oscillator, the effective mass involved can be calculated.
For a homonuclear diatomic, this is half the atomic mass; if one of the atoms is extremely massive, the mass is approximately that of the other atom.
Therefore, given a knowledge of the force constant for the vibration, and the effective mass, the excursion distance (in mass weighted space) can readily be calculated.

Since the effective mass is a property of a bulk, it is not well defined in the neighborhood of a sharp material transition.
One has to keep in mind that very close to the heterojunctions the effective mass Schrödinger equation provides a reasonable mathematical connection between the two regions, but the physical quantities are not necessarily well defined.
The effective mass is the only quantity which must be known at the midpoints.

 Effective Striking Mass   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Whereas the above example used the actual mass of the ball and the bat, the mass of the bat may be larger due to Plagenhoef's concept of the effective striking mass.
There does not seem to be any information available on whether the mass of the baseball bat is supplemented due to its connection to the rigid links of the athlete." I understand that if one was to simply throw the bat at the ball there is a collison in the classical sense.
In addition, I understand that forces applied to the grip accelerate the bat into the oncoming pitch, however, at the moment of impact if one is "limp wristed" with the bat moving quickly the results of the collision is less effective than if the one is stiff wristed with the bat moving quantitatively slower.

Effective mass in quantum effects of radiation pressure
At low frequency this effective response is similar to a harmonic response with an effective mass smaller than the total mass of the mirror.
For a plano-convex resonator the effective mass is related to the light spot size and becomes very small for small optical waists, thus enhancing the quantum effects of optomechanical coupling.

First the position and shape of the plasma edge weakly depend on the density of dislocation or on concentration of the deep states in the gap.
It is very different from the shape of absorption edge (band to band transition) which is strongly influenced by the presence of deep states in the gap.
The main source of error in this method could be presicion of determination of the free electron concentration from the Hall efect (because of for example not uniform flatness of the crystals) and uknown nonparabolicity of the conduction band.

 POSITION-DEPENDENT EFFECTIVE MASS
is the ``effective mass'' which characterizes the curvature of the dispersion relation.
These introduce changes in the ``local band structure'' which must be incorporated into the effective mass equation (13.153) to obtain an accurate model of the quasiparticle dynamics in a heterostructure.
In general, the value of the effective mass will also change across a heterojunction, and this requires a more careful treatment of the kinetic energy term.

 Bodybuilding.com - Workout Of The Week - What Is The Most Effective Mass Building Tricep Workout?
It is important to consider that if you do option 2 or 3, you will probably have to reduce the work done before you get to you triceps as this routine is designed to be done by itself, performing after chest and delt training may lead to over training.
If you're lacking size and overall mass on the upper back of your arms, then you should prioritize your triceps in your training by simply devoting one training day out of the week to train the triceps.
The problem with training the tricep muscles after a chest workout is that you cannot fully overload the triceps, as they have already been partially worked during the chest movements.

, the oscillatory inter-band magneto-optic absorption has revealed a mass ratio of the order of 0.01.
Theory is presented to show that this mass may be associated with the H-point of the Brillouin zone.
Moreover, it is proposed that the origin of the mass is an instability of the equally-spaced layer arrangement giving rise to a distorted form with alternate layers displaced in the axial direction.
