Hardman believed that restructuring the Air Force would remove inefficiencies and duplication, and permit commanders greater autonomy, allowing more effective concentration of strength in a potential combat situation.
22.
A commonly used dose-response curve is the EC 50 curve, the half maximal effective concentration, where the EC 50 point is defined as the inflection point of the curve.
23.
If the compound is effective against bacteria at a certain concentration, no colonies will grow where the concentration in the agar is greater than or equal to the effective concentration.
24.
This is commonly referred to as collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential . Proguanil lowers the effective concentration of atovaquone needed to increase permeability of the mitochondrial membrane.
25.
This creates a very high effective concentration ( resulting in high reaction rates ), and, therefore, many intramolecular reactions that would not occur as an intermolecular reaction between two compounds take place.
26.
Acting as a competitive non-selective blocker at postsynaptic and postjunctional muscarinic receptor sites in smooth muscle, exocrine glands, and the brain, BZ decreases the effective concentration of acetylcholine seen by receptors at these sites.
27.
The company maintained that the varying results were due to a range in the concentration of the product, and said the data accurately reflected the most effective concentration which was the only one Advanced Tissue planned to use.
28.
Solutions to this problem have been presented, such as using water-soluble ligands on the copper to enhance cell penetration of the catalyst and thereby reduce the dosage needed, or to use chelating ligands to further increase the effective concentration of Cu ( I ) and thereby decreasing the actual dosage.

"DEET has an unbelievably superb safety record; it's been used on millions of people and it's critical that people don't get the wrong message, " said Dr . Edward A . Ross, associate professor of medicine . " People should continue using DEET because of the very real risks of mosquito and insect-borne illnesses, such as West Nile encephalitis, but use it in the lowest effective concentration ."
