Excerpts

An increasing trend was also observed in hardened concrete density, with mean 28-day increases of approximately 1.12% for CS1 and 5.84% for CS2, relative to the control mixture.

Among a series of salts 37 ( Scheme 11 ), it has been observed that the melting points show an increasing trend as the chain length increases.

Recently in ABO 3 type perovskite, an interesting trend between atomic weight ratio of A and B sites (R w = W A /W B ) and piezoelectric constant (d 33 ) was demonstrated irrespective of tolerance factor (F t ) [ 136 ].

The remaining two settings also showed a trend toward better low contrast depiction with NIP.

In all time groups, the ε-Fmax did not significantly change with respect to the initial value but showed a trend of increasing values.

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).

On the other hand, for the rest of the samples, the intensities for the O2 peaks showed an increasing trend: first the untreated and the wet/dry cycled samples, then the corona plasma-treated samples, and finally the samples treated with Ar-plasma, which presented the higher intensities.

The strain rate sensitivity of the compressive stress-strain behavior is clearly shown in Figure 6 , in which the stress level both for Invar-5CS and Invar-10CS samples shows an increasing trend with strain rate.

There is a clear trend of increase of chloride diffusion coefficient by incorporating FRCA.

PCA obtained with our S3 ( Figure 3 and Figure 4 ) is extremely significant because it compares two similar percentages close to the legal limit: PG5 81%–19% CG3 (not legal), PG5 82%–18% CG3 (legal limit).

Although there is no significant difference in the magnitude of the compressive strength between each type of aggregate, the results suggest a clear trend that does differ by the two types studied ( Figure 13 ).

Low magnification images using confocal microscopy confirmed the results by showing that there were more cells attached on new surfaces than aged surfaces and that there was a decreasing trend with age. 2.4.

When the displacement ratio is plotted with respect to the concentration of the solution ( Figure 13 ), for both air and decane saturated systems, the displacement ratio clearly shows an increasing trend for solution concentrations of up to 5 g/L.

In the particular case of ferroelectrics, differences between local and long-range ordering may be significant.

Abstract The development of highly stable and efficient electrocatalysts for sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is exceedingly significant for the commercialization of fuel cells but remains a challenge.

Currently, to realize further lightweight, developing monolithic components is an important trend for the application of magnesium alloy.

The one with a core-wall ratio of 1:1.25 does not show a clear trend of the strength recovery with an increase of load applied.

The one-way analysis of variance and least significant difference (LSD) post hoc tests were used to determine the level of significance; P < 0.05 was defined as significant and P < 0.01 was defined as highly significant.

Furthermore, the results showed a decreasing trend of bond strength with an increasing proportion of each BAG added.
