Surely when the Physical Life halves, the Effective life halves, regardless of the Biological life?
Decay by physical processes i.e. radioactive decay
not sure what you mean with the second bit though - half life for an isotope is a constant amount of time... you can't half it other than picking an isotope that's got a half life close to half the half life of the original one.

Still not quite getting it, Can we try this another way,
Can I have separate definitions for Physical and Effective half life, without using the equation of 1/Teffective = 1/Tbiological + 1/Tphysical?
