Excerpts

The complex shear modulus G* of asphalt mortars showed a decreasing trend, while the phase angle showed a rising tendency with increase of temperature.

From Figure 12 a–d, it can be seen that with the increase in time, the thickness of the repair material added with three different diluents showed a trend of rapid decrease followed by a slow decrease during the curing process.

Contrastingly, as the cement substitution rate increases, effective w/b decreases and the Ss of mortar blends shows a decreasing trend.

The peaks of progressing loops were connected as the number of cycles proceeded in Figure 11 , resulting in a decreasing trend with nearly the same pace for all models.

Additionally, the specific surface areas of the aerogels obtained by different treatment techniques showed a decreasing trend (S SCD > S FD > S APD ), corresponding to the values of 248.7–267.4 m 2 /g, 241.7 m 2 /g, and 218.5 m 2 /g, respectively.

The thickness of both layers showed a decreasing trend with the increase in temperature.

With the extension of the test cycles, the thickness of the two layers displays an increasing trend.

After high-temperature treatment (40 and 60 °C), the cubic compressive strength, axial compressive strength, and elastic modulus of HDC show an increasing trend, and the rate of increase in performance indicators is greater with higher temperatures.

When the content of SiC nanoparticles is 0–4%, the shrinkage rate shows an increasing trend in the length, width, and height directions.

When λ value is 2.35, 3.78, 4.16 and 6.72, the horizontal component S of the deformation part of the bolt is 4.6, 4.3, 3.8 and 3.3 mm, respectively, showing a decreasing trend.

In addition, a clear trend of decreasing the storage modulus with an increase in the silicate modulus of the densifier was verified after both 24 and 48 h.

The D 90 /D 10 ratio essentially exhibited a decreasing trend when the amount of gelatin was added.

As shown in Figure 2 a, the conductivity of the soil leachate obtained solution showed a decreasing trend from G0 to G50, before increasing with an increase in graphene concentration at G100.

Effect of Graphene on Ion Concentration The zeta potential of soil colloids showed an increasing trend with an increase in graphene concentration ( Figure 1 a).

It is evident that increasing stiffness significantly enhances the toughness of CTSGs, but the growth rate shows a decreasing trend.

The modification with CaCl 2 showed much greater sorption capacity at 25 °C than when it was modified with Ca(NO 3 ) 2 , although this difference was smaller at 100 °C and almost insignificant at higher temperatures ( Figure 5 ).

In detail, the humins synthesized in water (F1–F3) showed a clear trend that combined yield and, therefore, conversion increases with decreasing pk a .

The use of 10% and 20%, by weight, of FA leads to a decreasing trend in the order of 37.5% and 50%, respectively, when compared to RM.

The catalytic mechanism involving the formate pathway or carboxyl pathway over In 2 O 3 was comprehensively explored by kinetic studies, in situ and ex situ characterizations, and density functional theory calculations, mostly demonstrating that the formate pathway was extremely significant for methanol production.

The effect of cohesiveness on the dynamic angle of repose was significant, but a clear trend with an increase in cohesiveness could not be identified.

As the dimensions of resonant ring are regarded as highly significant parameters in the whole SPLCRR, it is essential to evaluate its effect on the bandgap behaviors of SPLCRR.

Note that, even though there is some uncertainty in the results as is usual in composites, there is a clear trend on the cutback of the bearing strength as the damage extension is larger.

As shown in Figure 12 a, the mass of all mixtures slightly increased in the first 60 cycles and gradually decreased in the remaining 90 cycles, indicating that the mass loss ratio showed a trend of first negative growth and then positive growth.

As the TiO 2 content in the slag increases, the viscosity exhibits a decreasing trend.

As shown in Figure 12 , under the influence of the interweaving of ameliorants and structural ameliorants, soil pore distribution characteristics showed an increasing trend followed by a decreasing trend.
