Topic: Relative effectiveness factor

	WikiMiki.net - Ιανουάριος (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		With the unification of China under the Kuomintang in October 1928, the ROC government decreed that effective January 1, 1929 the Gregorian calendar would be used henceforth.
		Relative effectiveness factor (R.E. factor) is a measurement of an explosive's power for military demolitions purposes.
		TNT equivalent is a measure of the energy released from the detonation of a nuclear weapon, or from the explosion of a given quantity of fissionable material, in terms of the amount of TNT (trinitrotoluene) which could release the same amount of energy when exploded.

	Power Factor Training
		Power factor training is a resistance training system that claims to take the guess work out of training by effectively quantifying muscular intensity and the muscle-stimulating benefits of any workout.
		Expectation: I don't expect Power Factor training to be effective because it over simplifies certain biomechanical factors both in the definition of the power indices and in their use in tailoring workouts for maximum effectiveness.
		If their definition of power factor was valid as an indicator of training effectiveness, athletes should decrease their rest periods as much as possible without greatly affecting the power output during the set.

		Red shift, the systematic increase in the wavelength of all light received from a celestial object; it is observed in the shifting of individual lines in the Spectrum of the object toward the red, or longer-wavelength, end of the visible spectrum.
		Relativity, physical theory, introduced by Albert Einstein, that discards the concept of absolute motion and instead treats only relative motion between two systems or frames of reference.
		The general theory recognizes the equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass, and asserts that material bodies produce the curvature of the space-time continuum and that the path of a body is determined by this curvature.

	Jordan: The Glyphomancy Factor
		By speaking of "the glyphomancy factor," I mean to stress the significance of the kinds of logics and experiences that believers themselves find compelling, and to suggest that we must incorporate those experiences into our higher-level "explanations" of changes in religious belief and affiliation.
		This is not the sort of explanation we are used to, and it stands ignobly beside "relative deprivation," "the strains of modernization," "class oppression," and "anomie," or, for that matter, "rationalization," "hegemonism," and "the Protestant Ethic." Yet it is clear that Mr.
		The term "glyphomancy factor" is intended to underline that traditional Chinese conversion (which provides the model for much modern Chinese conversion) rarely involved the exclusivity that seems implicit in the word "conversion" as used in colloquial English.

	Cost-effectiveness Analyses of Colorectal Cancer Screening: A Systematic Review
		Factors that caused cost-effectiveness ratios to vary more than two-fold in sensitivity analyses included polyp dwell time, the proportion of cancers arising from adenomas, adherence rates, and the cost and adverse effects of colonoscopy.
		Although the results of the different studies are relatively consistent, it is possible that base-case assumptions about the effectiveness or costs of screening for colorectal cancer were overly optimistic.
		The differences in effectiveness, and hence cost-effectiveness, among the models are related to different assumptions each model makes about the biologic behavior of colon cancer, the effectiveness and adverse effects associated with each strategy, and the likelihood that patients will actually complete the tests required for any given strategy.

	Radiation Safety Guide
		The QF for neutrons is tabulated in Appendix G. The value of the quality factor for each type of radiation depends on the distribution of the absorbed energy in a mass of tissue.
		For example, the increased effectiveness of neutrons relative to gamma rays is believed to be related to the higher specific ionization of the recoil protons liberated by neutron bombardment as compared to the specific ionization of the secondary electrons arising from gamma ray irradiation.
		The values of quality factor are known to vary with the biological effect being observed, and in some cases are still a matter of controversy for the same biological effect.

	Explosives (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		An explosive is defined as a material (chemical or nuclear) that can be initiated to undergo very rapid, self-propagating decomposition that results in the formation of more stable material, the liberation of heat, or the development of a sudden pressure effect through the action of heat on produced or adjacent gases.
		All of these outcomes produce energy; a weapon's effectiveness is measured by the quantity of energy - or damage potential - it delivers to the target.
		When a conventional explosive such as TNT is detonated, the relatively unstable chemical bonds are converted into bonds that are more stable, producing kinetic energy in the form of blast and thermal energies.

	Shock factor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shock Factor is a commonly used figure of merit for estimating the amount of shock experienced by a naval target from an underwater explosion as a function of explosive charge weight, slant range, and depression angle (between vessel and charge).
		The numeric result from computing the shock factor has no physical meaning, but it does provide a value that can be used to estimate the effect of an underwater blast on a vessel.
		The idea behind the shock factor is that an explosion close to a ship generates a shock wave that can impart sudden vertical motions to a ship's hull and internal systems.

	Celebrity Advertising: An Assessment of Its Relative Effectiveness
		Assael (1984) suggests that celebrity advertising is effective because of their ability to tap into consumers' symbolic association to aspirational reference groups.
		Despite mixed findings, three factors seem to be associated with the degree to which celebrity advertising is effective: source credibility, celebrity knowledge and trustworthiness, and celebrity appearance.
		In order to assess the relative effectiveness of celebrity advertisements, the two types of advertising executions, celebrity versus non-celebrity, were tested across print advertisements for six products: American Express (Arn), Apple computers (Ap), Avon cosmetics (Av), Milk (Mk), Pepsi Cola (Pc) and Ray Ban sunglasses (Rb).

	Advances in Weapons' Effectiveness - Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman, Author
		Weapons' lethality (in peace and war) is a factor of the effectiveness of the weapons used to kill and of the ability of available medical technology to save lives.
		Thus, weapons' lethality can be thought of as a contest between weapons' effectiveness (the state of technology trying to kill you) and medical effectiveness (the state of technology trying to save you).
		The relative effectiveness of swords, axes, and blunt objects has been basically unchanged, and killing (as an act of passion vs a pre-meditated act like poisoning or leaving a bomb) was only possible at close-range by stabbing, hacking, and beating.

		Due to low effectiveness, it might take longer to develop the project with the same number of people, or more people would be involved in it to accomplish the project in the planned time.
		As the Effectiveness causes either longer (shorter) development time or higher (lower) staff requirements it should be included in the AD project cost formula.
		Besides being used as a factor in the AD Sourcing Cost Model that calculate AD project cost, the Effectiveness Factor can be used independently, for assessing an AD organization's technology expertise, project management expertise, and business expertise.

		Before 1990, dose-equivalent quantities were defined in terms of a quality factor, Q(L), that was applied to the absorbed dose at a point in order to take into account the differences in the effects of different types of radiation.
		For radiological protection purposes, the absorbed dose is averaged over an organ or tissue, T, and this absorbed average dose is weighted for the radiation quality in terms of the radiation weighting factor, wR, for the type and energy of radiation incident on the body.
		The sum of the organ-equivalent doses weighted by the ICRP organ-weighting factors, wT, is termed the effective dose,E. Measurements can be performed in terms of the operational quantities, ambient dose equivalent, and personal dose equivalent.
