Excerpts

An obvious trend can be found from the table: the ternary metal oxide which exhibits a larger valence state of the M ion (larger y ) shows a higher crystallization temperature.

Referring to Figure 9 , in the case of these two highest stresses, the minimum strain rate did not exhibit a significant trend as a function of aging treatment.

The data for MgCl 2 solution also demonstrated a decreasing trend.

The large decrease of GCL hydraulic conductivity was due mainly to the extremely significant hydration swelling of bentonite.

The experimental results also have an increasing trend from pure ZnO to Si-doped ZnO [ 15 ].

With the increase in the Cu dose, OH − was eventually depleted and CaCO 3 replace OH − to react with CuCl 2 , as expressed below: 2CuCl 2 + 2CaCO 3 + 2H 2 O → Cu 2 (OH) 3 Cl + 3Cl − + OH − + 2Ca 2+ + CO 2 (2) This was well reflected in the scenarios of high Cu doses, showing lower carbon content in the solid residue, relative to that in the original red mud and a clear trend that carbon content in the solid residue decreased with increasing Cu dose ( Figure 1 b).

Although there is an increasing trend for metal-free restorations in the dental profession, failures in the form of fracture or chipping associated with such materials are still being reported [ 1 ] indicating that there is still place for the indication of metal-ceramic fixed-dental-prosthesis (FDP).

The prepared ACF from bamboo were found to be mainly type I of isotherm, but the mesoporosity presented an increasing trend after 700 °C.

This is contrary to the majority of the COOH-MWCNT-reinforced epoxy CFRP composites, where a clear trend of the straining hardening plateau occurred after passing the linear elastic zone.

Analysis of variance also confirmed that the models were highly significant, as the probability ( p ) values of all regression models were less than 0.003.

A general approach to achieving much reduced κ values therefore remains elusive and the effects of synthesis and processing may be significant [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ].

Results showed that fluoride adsorption onto Al-Fe complex surface-modified granular ceramic was pH-dependent and the maximum removals of fluoride were obtained at pH in range between 5.0 and 8.0 while further increases of pH showed a negative trend.

The sorption density of fluoride on the calcined product was the greatest for MgO-I and the smallest for MgO-II, although repeated calcinations did not show a clear trend in either the values of specific surface areas for the calcined products or the sorption efficiency of fluoride per unit mass and surface area.

A quite significant opposite trend is associated with the presence of RAS.

For the film resistance (R 3 ), it has a smaller value compared to R 2 but does not have a clear trend, due to its variation in magnitude with time for the formation and desorption of the film-electrolyte interface; generally speaking, R 3 decreases with the addition of lactic acid, suggesting that the resistance of the film formed on the titanium surface to lactic acid is rather lower.

Furthermore, building material production in both precast and in situ applications represents a wide market, which could imply a positive trend, considering the huge amount of raw materials usually employed.

The [C] increases monotonically while the [O] shows a slightly increasing trend with increasing substrate temperature.

A positive trend of the capacitance with the extent of corrosion was observed.

In Figure 3 , during the course of corrosion, the resistance gradually decreased following an apparent trend.

The three-way ANOVA for internal color change was highly significant, with all independent variables and interactions significant at p < 0.0001 except color, which was significant at p = 0.0011.

Therefore, as W content increases, the reaction degree is significantly reduced, ignition delay time presents an increasing trend, and reaction duration gradually decreases.

The cement paste with admixture contents between 1.2% and 3.6% showed a decreasing trend in alkalinity with days of curing, and their alkalinity were even much lower than that of control samples after curing for 14 days (see Figure 10 ).

For IQE values, 420 and 380 nm wavelength samples came in the 2nd and 3rd position, respectively, which showed a decreasing trend of potential barrier height around these V-pits.

The chip obtained for higher feed values is shorter than for lower feed values, where it appears longer and more flexible, with a clear trend to form chip nests.

In addition, it can be seen that the fracture of the normal specimen is significant compared to the UNSM-treated normal specimen, whereas the surface damage is considerably significant as well and the oxidation wear dominates.
