The indirect effect of aggregate shape on specimen drying proved to be quite significant.

Lithium borates show an overall negative correlation with connectivity, whereas sodium borates show a negative trend followed by a positive trend with a minimum around 26 mol% Na 2 O.

Nowadays, there is an increasing trend in modern agriculture towards the use of environmentally friendly release systems, especially biodegradable polymers, as carriers of active substances, which are intended to improve efficiency and limit the cost of application and minimize negative environmental effects.

According to Equation (1), with the increase of welding pressure, the gap decreases, the surface roughness decreases, the contact area increases, and the contact resistance shows a decreasing trend.

It can be seen that the size of left area is represented by the feature distance D1 and D2, combining the Figure 8 b with Figure 9 , the measuring results show that D1 and D2 of the nine helmets become larger on an average of 1.961 mm and 0.525 mm respectively, which indicate that the size of the nine helmets’ left areas has an increasing trend.

However, the overall change results showed an increasing trend.

According to a previous study using the same brand of acetabular liners, an application of compressive strain demonstrated an increasing trend in surface crystallinity [ 25 , 28 ].

The results in Table 5 show that with the increasing rGO content, the average pore size, the median pore size and the most probable pore size appear in a decreasing trend, which indicates the rGO refines the pore structure and enhances its mechanical properties. 3.3.

Although with the less ductile post-peak softening response of pure fibre reinforced to conventional reinforcements, the contribution of the fibres in AAC beams to post crack ductility could be considered significant, as an unreinforced AAC beam would have failed with brittle failure after first crack [ 13 ].

Then, it exhibited a decreasing trend over 72 h of measurement.

The LR, from Figure 4 b, is highly sensitive to the morphology variation of 1L-ST and 2L-ST and shows a decreasing trend with an increasing SH frequency.

Over time, the number of published papers per year shows an increasing trend ( Figure 3 a).

As in the case of II-Zn/Fe (but different compared to I-Zn), the cyclic voltammogram is typical of an alloy that is passivated, the cathodic branch is located below the anodic branch and the distance between them is very large (passivation is quite significant).

Temperature did not affect the alkanes, whereas alcohols showed a decrease with an increasing trend.

Additionally, the 8 M samples showed an increasing trend with the increase of molarity, while the 12 M samples showed a somehow constant change, suggesting that almost all 12 M samples exhibited higher voids and pores.

The total temperature of the supersonic gas jet remains stable near the outlet of the Laval tube and then exhibits an increasing trend.

Moreover, the flow curve showed a trend of gradually decreasing in each pass.

The maximum recovery and residual stresses of the CR0.7 fibers also showed an increasing trend with increasing temperature.

It was important to note that the F p2 corresponding to the maximum R a (the data in the black-dotted box in Figure 6 a) presented an increasing trend with increasing F p1 .

As shown, there is a clear trend that the average of welding area and welding force of the selected electrode materials increases monotonously with the increment of load current from 60 A to 160 A.

Regarding the beams with three different water–cement ratios, it can be inferred from Figure 10 that the chloride concentration at a given depth (the reinforcement position in Figure 10 ) shows an increasing trend with an increase in the water–cement ratio, especially for the specimens with the high water–cement ratio.

Apparently, the hydrolysis efficiency of AlN exhibited a decreasing trend with increasing the liquid-to-solid ratio.

Under the condition of leaching time varied from 20 min to 40 min, the extraction efficiency of Al and Si exhibited an increasing trend, due to the proceeding of dissolution of NaAlO 2 and Na 2 SiO 3 .

After analysing the results obtained for the f z = 0.12 mm/tooth, a decreasing trend was observed: an increase in the cutting speed caused a decrease in the height deviation.

Conclusions The results of the studies carried out on samples in dry and saturated states show a clear trend whereby the compressive strength decreases as the result of the water saturation of the tested silicates.
