Excerpts

Some samples showed a trend for a higher Young’s modulus in wet conditions.

The stress-strain curves showed an increasing trend of slope with the increasing content of FR-DOMt, especially when the elongation was lower than 500% ( Figure 6 a).

For coating 5 and coating 6, their friction coefficient presents an increasing trend with sliding time and fluctuates greatly at the later period of sliding friction test.

The interaction of tool material and feed strategy shows that the generated force has a decreasing trend for HSS-Ti, HSS-Co, and HSS-Mo.

Grain growth is almost insignificant during this time, however, after 8 h a noticeable increase in grain width is measured.

A decreasing trend in enthalpy of CH in mortar samples after exposure to sulfate solution can be observed with the addition of nano-TiO 2 .

Therefore, the friction coefficient presents an increasing trend with the sliding speeds. 3.5.

In the cases of Ar and N 2 plasma treatment, the additional incorporation of the C-O groups (and the C-N groups in the case of N 2 plasma treatment) during the plasma treatment was, however, only able to partly compensate for this loss in the C-O groups, resulting in a decreasing trend in the relative concentration of the peak at 286.8 eV.

The F-value (51.27) and the p -value (less than 0.0001) of this model implied that the model was highly significant for Se(IV) removal by nZVI/rGO. “Adequate Precision” measures the signal to noise ratio, and the ratio greater than 4.0 is considered desirable [ 53 ].

In all optical spectra, we find a decreasing trend of specific absorption from 0.14 mm −1 at 400 nm to 0.06 mm −1 at 1000 nm, with an absorption peak at 915 nm.

The diffusion rate shows decreasing trend where the printability shows an increasing trend with increasing the pore size for each composition of material as shown in Figure 11 .

Since this decrease may be significant, it needs to be taken into account when designing PCM cementitious systems and assessing their efficiency. 4.4.

All the treated specimens demonstrate a clear trend of E dyn improvement due to the presence of TCO in their pore system, as detailed in Figure 7 a, assuming that connectivity between the grains and consolidant was achieved, as it was also indicated by the increase of the total surface area in the MIP analysis.

According to Figure 7 and Table 1 , an increasing trend in current density was observed as the temperature increases from 90 to 120 °C, but the photocurrent density decreased drastically by 87.40% from 120 °C (0.1944 mA/cm 2 ) to 130 °C (0.0245 mA/cm 2 ).

On the other hand, an obvious trend is shown in Figure 6 , in which the band gap energy decreases as the growth time increases.

If TiO 2 was not able to develop pozzolanic or hydraulic activity, a decreasing trend would have been detected for cement pastes added with increasing TiO 2 content.

This shift is quite significant in Ni/CeO 2 -Fe 2 O 3 , while it remains limited in CeO 2 -Fe 2 O 3 and doesn’t occur at these temperatures in pure CeO 2 , meaning the partial reduction is enhanced by the addition of Ni, leading to deeper reduction of the oxygen carrier.

In Case II, an increasing trend can be observed.

It is also worth noting that, at a low frequency band, i.e., 3–9 GHz, a decreasing trend can apparently be found for the real part of the permittivity.

Even at a Reynolds number much lower than 1, this efficiency remains quite significant (≈0.3) while the theoretical behavior in Stokes flow is particles avoiding each other at their initial relative positions, which leads to zero efficiency.

Since immunotherapies are becoming an important trend to treat non-communicable diseases, the RAGEp/PSiP vaccine will serve as a useful model in the development of chronic conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and cancer.

Once NPs, PVDF and DBP were blended, the ε c was found to show a decreasing trend with increasing the testing frequency.

It is interesting to note that the O-Ce bond length initially showed an increasing trend, which became nearly constant for CeZr-2, CeZr-3, CeZr-4, and CeZr-6. 3.2.

Since the diffusion loss might be significant for such small particles, particle concentrations have to be large enough to be sufficient when the aerosol flow reaches the downstream measurement device.

Contrary to other exposure conditions, the decrease in the transmission of degraded samples with exposure time in this case is quite significant.
