Excerpts

The result revealed that, as the annealed temperature increased, the contact angle showed a decreasing trend.

Furthermore, none of our test materials showed a clear trend towards M1 or M2 polarization.

Statistical analysis was carried out by one-way ANOVA test to analyze differences between the controls and treated where p<0.05 is considered significant and p < 0.01 extremely significant. 3.

In contrast, the use of isopropanol as diluting alcohol generated particles which showed a strong trend to increase in size at higher calcination temperatures.

The results revealed a decreasing trend in tensile strength with increasing CWP content.

The results available in the literature does not allow for identifying a clear trend regarding the effect of various environmental exposures and accelerated aging.

After short-term aging as well as long-term aging at different times, the cumulative energy curve exhibited an increasing trend.

Thus, from a macroscopic point of view, the flow stress of the composite still showed an increasing trend with increasing deformation.

It should be noted that this conclusion is dependent on the problem under consideration, and the differences between the obtained results may be significant in some cases [ 14 ].

The solubility of both drugs was determined as a function of temperature (293.15 to 313.15 K) and IL composition, following an increasing trend with the increase in both conditions.

However, the expansion ratio showed an increasing trend, with the increase in ram speed from 7 mm/s to 11 mm/s.

It is observed that CoF shows an increasing trend on increasing the load from 20N to 60N.

The wear rate of the developed composite materials exhibits a decreasing trend with the increase in weight % of Si 3 N 4 .

For the three samples, it can be seen that the isolation degree, turbidity, surface charge and stability of the CNCs suspension showed a trend as the HPH treatment increased.

However, the effect of cover rate on the near-surface hardness (50 μm beneath the surface) is almost insignificant, resulting in a hardness increase of less than %2 for both pressures ( Figure 2 ).

However, there was an increasing trend in the redness of the samples after 100 h.

From the comparison it was observed that the predicted flexural behavior of the TRM beam, using the strain compatibility and force equilibrium conditions, showed a trend similar to the experimental result, but it was not predicted conservatively. 4.3.

Furthermore, it is noted that the peak compressive strength of concrete shows a decreasing trend with the increase of freeze–thaw cycles at the same strain loading rate.

In the first 0–125 freeze–thaw cycles, it can be identified that in the damage accumulation stage, the weight of concrete specimens shows a slightly increasing trend or is basically unchanged.

The Fisher test value (F-value) for the model was found to be 133.13; this means that the model was highly significant, with a p -value less than 0.0001.

The diffraction peak intensity of the Q phase shows an increasing trend, as with the Mg level.

Therefore, the thickness of the concrete slab designed by the two fatigue models presents a decreasing trend with the increase in base layer thickness and subgrade strength.

It can be seen that the increase in CS from 2200 mm/min to 2800 mm/min results in a decreasing trend in kw , whereas the increase in AC up to a certain level results in an augmented kw and then decreases with an increase in AC.

In the studies described in [ 82 ], it was stated that in such situations, the variable power of the applied ultrasounds, the speed of their propagation in the medium (and therefore also the density of the medium) as well as their amplitude (frequency) may be significant.

The equivalent damping ratio and equivalent stiffness generally show a decreasing trend and energy consumption gradually decreases.
