Excerpts

Results show an increasing trend in the size of the melt pool with increasing deposited layers.

Statistical analysis was performed using the Student’s t -test that allowed us to compare the control and Cupral groups; the statistical significance was set at p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, where the latter was highly significant.

The article presents the results of tests chosen by previous investigations [ 18 ] that showed that these properties might be significant for fly ash containing ammonia, and also other tests found valuable in this area.

In addition, the elastic-wave velocity exhibited a decreasing trend as the moisture content of the specimen decreased with drying.

The amplitude decreased with the decrease in moisture content and reached a minimum value at approximately 1% moisture content; however, the amplitude exhibited an increasing trend at lower moisture content.

For this reason, there is an increasing trend for publications about prosthetic infection and the development of antimicrobial strategies, which was the basis for the literature survey adopted in this review.

From the experimental data and morphological characterization, the following conclusions are drawn: The friction coefficient of the PVDF thin films shows an increasing trend from 0.07 to 0.144 with the increase in displacement amplitude, and shows a decreasing trend from 0.115 to 0.081 with the increase in applied normal force under the setting condition.

However, the wear volume always shows an increasing trend with the increase in displacement amplitude.

As shown in Table 4 , the corrosion current density increased in the following order: Base steel ≈ Cu-bearing steel < Ti-bearing steel, indicating a decreasing trend of corrosion resistance.

Collectively, the implications of the results are quite significant, since such N-PTT strategies provide several opportunities to overcome the challenges that are associated with conventional thermoseed technique.

Based on the tensile strength (maximum or breaking stress) recorded for all specimens, a decreasing trend was observed for each single specimen during various watering techniques (see Figure 17 ).

There seemed to be a clear trend for increased flexural strength in mortars with MgO, mostly until 7 days of age.

Though the rate of erosion is smaller, it may be significant in vivo.

However, a slight trend towards an increase in the level of total LDL cholesterol and glucose and a decrease in HDL was visible.

We do not observe statistically significant differences in blood morphological and biochemical parameters in samples taken after 3 months of pigs feeding HF-CD, although an obvious trend towards total LDL cholesterol, glucose and HDL was quite visible Histopathological examination revealed atherosclerosis of the 1st and 2nd degree.

All mechanical property parameters presented a statistical difference ( p < 0.05) among the starch films, despite the quite significant error for the Young’s modulus of maize and potato films. 3.3.

From ZBV1 to ZBV4, EBF and EABF values showed an increasing trend.

However, at 180 d, the FS of each test group showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.

To clearly demonstrate the degree of CS weakening, Figure 6 shows that with the increase in graded ARGF admixture, the concrete CS increment ratio fluctuates, but generally, it presents a decreasing trend.

It can be seen from Figure 10 that under different temperature rising rates, the maximum pyrolysis rate in the DTG curve shows an increasing trend corresponding to the temperature, and the main reaction interval also increases slightly.

These crack appearance observations helped us to visualize a possible trend where OFI mucilage addition increased the time before corrosion propagation, or the time before the appearance of corrosion surface cracks.

Once again, almost insignificant is the effect of the filler content on this parameter, considering the standard deviation of experimental results.

With the movement of the heat source to the upper layers and far away from point 1, the temperature and thermal stress also showed a decreasing trend.

An interesting trend is seen, where generally: (a) density increases in time, even when fresh and hardened state are compared [ 83 ], and (b) density increases in ssd as well as in oven-dried state.

Considering relation f c -180-ssd:f c -28-ssd, there is an obvious trend, since compressive strength increases with time, complying with theory.
