Excerpts

The introduction of boric anhydride creates a moderately significant impact on the strength of the engineered cementitious composites.

However, due to the functions of internal autoclaving, secondary hydration of unhydrated clinkers and SCMs, and the pozzolanic effect, the post-fire strength of concrete may have an increasing trend before 300 °C [ 43 , 44 , 45 ], especially for the concrete made with siliceous aggregates [ 43 ].

Even though the bending strengths were comparable in all three attempts, considering standard deviations, there were partially significant differences regarding laminate thickness and maximum bending force ( Figure 3 d).

However, at higher compositions, x = 0.08 and 0.10, a decreasing trend has been observed, which shows the reluctance in the mixing of V ions.

As shown in Table 2 , with an increasing LDH dose, the TTI of asphalt binders shows an increasing trend, whereas the THR gradually decreases.

Accordingly, the SD of charge quantity also showed an increasing trend as surface roughness increased.

E values and H values for the secondary cell wall ( Figure 8 ) both showed an increasing trend from the inner to the outer parts of the wood disc, but a significant reduction was shown from S2 to S1.

At a dosage of 0.41, expansion showed an increasing trend with respect to the reference sample during the first 28d which indicated that the lower the concentration of Li + , the faster the reaction in the early stage.

In conclusion, chondrocytes and fluid cartilage may be an interesting and possibly significant source of autologous tissue, which is ready to be utilised in therapeutic procedures, such as the regeneration or repair of nose tissue defects and irregularities of the nose.

However, the fracture zone shows an increasing trend with the increase in clearance and, therefore, even at 250 °C, the fracture zone value is observed to increase from approximately 0.043 mm at 10% clearance to approximately 0.11 mm at 30% clearance.

Conversely, the porosity of blended mortars presented a decreasing trend with the increasing of cement content, especially for CS-SAC blended mortars, as shown in Figure 4 .

However, with the prolongation of the mineralization time, the conductivity showed a trend of increasing sharply first and then, more gradually, see Supporting Information, Figure S7 .

A clear trend was not observed for the average or the maximum diameters as the CNT content was increased.

It was also found that the influences of the geometry and size of GPL nanofillers are quite significant but limited when the b GPL / t GPL of GPLs is higher than 10 3 .

Effective diffusion coefficients of all the samples show a decreasing trend with the increase of water vapor adsorption, which, due to the porosity available for water vapor transport, decreases at higher loading as adsorbed water vapor occupies a part of porous sites. 4.

However, in the infrared region as depicted in the inset of Figure 7 b, an increasing trend of ᶄ is observed for the doped samples, unlike the undoped ZnO one, indicating free carrier absorption, as mentioned in Section 4.5.1 .

The suggested model (Equation (2)) is completely significant with high F -value (26.15) and low p -value (less than 0.0001) which means that there is only 0.01% chance that model responses occur due to the noise [ 38 ].

But there is a clear trend: As the pyrolysis temperature increases, the modulus of elasticity of the foams increases.

Figure 10 b shows an overall trend of a decreasing average shape factor as the coating thickened.

However, to the best of our knowledge, until now, there was no methodologic functionalization and detailed characterization of PE and PP foils, as the most representative packaging material, functionalized by chitosan with incorporated resveratrol, showed clear and highly significant advances compared to the other relevant studies.

According to this graph, an increasing trend in the microhardness with an increase in fz could be observed.

An increase in the ratio of bamboo fiber up to a ratio 50:50 shows an increasing trend in elongation at break of hybrid composites.

We study whether doping can be used to modulate in a practically significant way the voltage–capacity curve of C 60 .

From Table 3 , shear stress change rate of MRG-50 is almost constant along with the magnetic field strength, while that of MRG-70 shows a decreasing trend.

From Table 5 , the loop area of MRG-70 shows an increasing trend as the shear rate increase from 0.005/s to 0.1/s, and this increasing trend decreases rapidly with the increase of external magnetic field strength, i.e., when the external magnetic field strength is zero, the shear rate-induced effect of MRG 70 is as high as 73%.
