For the GeSi MQW-NPA samples, the effective penetration depth of light becomes larger, which results in two consequences.
Furthermore, even if the nominal concrete strength was evaluated by means of conventional tests on concrete samples, the effective concrete strengths of tested beams may differ from those of small size samples.
Thus, in the case of annealed samples, the effective thickness is defined as the thickness of as-sputtered gold which is considered to be the same for annealed structures deposited for the corresponding deposition time.
As a rule, with decreasing sample size, the effective macroscopic stiffness and strength of Voronoi samples decrease under compression and bending, and increase under shear and indentation.
For each of sample, the simulated effective plastic strain is close to the theoretical value.
For the Berea sandstone samples studied, the effective mineralogy is represented, mainly, by kaolinite, illite, and chlorite.
Weighting the sample to take account of the complex sampling 15 gave a total sample size of 15 978 households (the effective sample size).
We assessed sufficient sampling by ensuring that the effective sample size for all parameters was at least 200, using the R package CODA [ 33].
Negative auto-correlation can have the opposite effect, thus, making the effective sample larger than the realized sample [16].
