En sentido general, este término se aplica a cualquier medida de la diferencia en el resultado entre los grupos de estudio; de tal manera que el riesgo relativo (relative risk), la razón de odds (odds ratio) y la diferencia de riesgos (risk difference) son "magnitudes de efecto". Cuando la magnitud de efecto se aplica a mediciones de variables continuas (como la media), su estimador común más usado es la diferencia media estandarizada, que se calcula como la diferencia de medias dividida por la desviación estándar. Esto es sobre todo útil cuando no hay una medida común a todos los estudios. 1, record 1, Spanish, - magnitud%20del%20efecto

There are also two types of crampons: hinged and rigid. Hinged crampons provide flex at the instep and bend with the natural motion of walking and thus are the preferred style for almost any type of mountaineering except steep technical ice climbing. A rigid crampon does not bend at the instep so when climbing up steep technical ice, they allow the climber to keep their heel lower when front-pointing, thus less tiring as a result. However, rigid crampons tend to be heavier and will not perform as well in mixed terrain. Generally, most people will use hinged crampons. 3, record 6, English, - crampon

On l'obtient en calculant la divergence des termes de l'équation vectorielle du mouvement. Aux fins de l'analyse dynamique et de la prévision météorologique numérique, il est souvent utile de remplacer l'équation vectorielle du mouvement horizontal par une équation scalaire. Par une méthode semblable, c.-à-d. en utilisant la composante verticale de l'opérateur du tourbillon, on obtient l'équation du tourbillon. 2, record 10, French, - %C3%A9quation%20de%20divergence

Se obtiene calculando la divergencia en la ecuación vectorial del movimiento. Para los fines del análisis dinámico y de la predicción meteorológica numérica es a menudo ventajoso remplazar la ecuación vectorial del movimiento horizontal por una ecuación escalar. Un procedimiento análogo, que utiliza el componente vertical de la ecuación de vorticidad, da lugar a la ecuación de vorticidad. 1, record 10, Spanish, - ecuaci%C3%B3n%20de%20divergencia
