The phrase "a settling effect on" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe the calming or stabilizing influence something has on a situation or emotion.
Example: "The soothing music had a settling effect on the anxious crowd, allowing them to relax."
Alternatives: "a calming influence on" or "a stabilizing impact on".
Another factor worthy of comment is that the experimental systems used here had little excess cryoprotectant additive and there would be little settling effect of ELS on the ice crystal progression – all the samples were in effect 'settled' by removing the extra CPA volume.
Sodium cations (<0.01 M) in the slurry favoured some degree of particle coagulation, whereas calcium cations had an adverse effect on settling rates even at low concentrations (<0.002 M), with the effects of a reduced bridging capacity most apparent in the lower MWs.
The results also showed that the melt temperature appears to have a slight effect on the settling behaviour.
The coating design anticipated that this surface complexity would either have a deterrent effect on the settling stages of fouling organisms or would be unfavourable for adsorption and unfolding of adhesive proteins.
Feeding a more biodegradable influent to the selector (up to 45 g BOD g−1 VSS day−1) enhanced its effectiveness, whereas increasing the supply of particulate matter (up to 139.6 g COD g−1 VSS day−1) showed a negative effect on sludge settling.
However, as shown by Pfeiffer et al. (2005), particle density has a second order effect on the settling velocity with respect to the particle dimensions.
The results prove that the ultrasonic irradiation has a positive effect on the sludge settling velocity and effluent turbidity.
Gheissary and van den Brule (1996) concluded that a change in microstructure of the fluid has an effect on the settling velocity that goes beyond its effect on the viscosity alone and plays an important role in particle particle interactions.
These scenes, staged as quasi-mythical vignettes, deepen the movie's ambivalent attitude toward progress and the drastic effects it can have on a settled community.
