Examples of cytopathic effect in the following topics:

  • Tissue Culture of Animal Viruses

    • Rotation is optimal for the isolation of respiratory viruses and result in an earlier appearance of the cytopathic effects (CPE) for many viruses .
  • Steps of Virus Infections

    • These changes, called cytopathic (causing cell damage) effects, can change cell functions or even destroy the cell.
    • This approach has led to the development of a variety of drugs used to treat HIV and has been effective at reducing the number of infectious virions (copies of viral RNA) in the blood to non-detectable levels in many HIV-infected individuals.

  • The Doppler Effect

    • The Doppler Effect is the change in a wave's perceived frequency that results from the source's motion, the observer, and the medium.
    • The Doppler effect is a periodic event's change in frequency for an observer in motion relative to the event's source.
    • Most people have experienced the Doppler effect in action.
    • The Doppler effect can be caused by any kind of motion.
    • If the observer moves relative to the stationary siren, the observer will notice the Doppler effect on the pitch of the siren.
  • Cohen's d

    • The concept of effect size already appears in everyday language.
    • In this case, 30 pounds is an indicator of the claimed effect size.
    • This grade increase is the claimed effect size of the program.
    • Effect sizes are particularly prominent in social and medical research.
    • Cohen's $d$ is an example of a standardized measure of effect.
  • Effects of Drug Combinations

    • Pharmacodynamics is the field that attempts to understand the unintended effects of the use of two or more drugs.
    • It also looks at the mechanisms of drug action and the relationship between drug concentration and effect.
    • Interactions between alcohol and certain antibacterials may occur, cause side-effects, and decrease effectiveness of antibacterial therapy.
    • Potential risks of side-effects and effectiveness depend on the type of antibacterial administered.
    • Additionally, when dealing with a microbial infection, sometimes the use of two or more antibiotics can effectively combat the infection while each drug individually has little or no effect.
  • The Photoelectric Effect

    • Electrons are emitted from matter that is absorbing energy from electromagnetic radiation, resulting in the photoelectric effect.
    • This is called the photoelectric effect, and the electrons emitted in this manner are called photoelectrons.
    • The photoelectric effect is also widely used to investigate electron energy levels in matter.
    • Heinrich Hertz discovered the photoelectric effect in 1887.
    • Explain how the photoelectric effect paradox was solved by Albert Einstein.
  • Using Supporting Materials Effectively

    • Supporting materials are effective only if they help persuade the audience.
    • Supporting materials are effective only if they help to persuade the audience.
    • It is the speaker's job to determine what supporting materials will be most comprehensible and effective.
    • If the audience cannot see the chart, then it will not be understood or effective.
    • The same goes for other types of supporting materials; they are only effective if they can convince the audience.
  • The Compton Effect

    • The Compton Effect is the phenomenon of the decrease in energy of photon when scattered by a free charged particle.
    • Still, the origin of the effect can be considered as an elastic collision between a photon and an electron.
    • However, the effect will become arbitrarily small at sufficiently low light intensities regardless of wavelength.
    • The Compton Effect is the name given to the scattering of a photon by an electron.
    • Studying this effect, Compton verified that photons have momentum.
