As the extension of the salt spray test time, the corrosion rate shows a decreasing trend.

The composites displayed an increase in flexural strength and modulus in the MAPE content range of 5–15%, above which the flexural strength and modulus exhibited a decreasing trend ( Figure 2 b).

TAT showed a decreasing trend from 2011–2014, although TAT in December remained higher.

The results showed that the moisture contents of both the raw and cooked egg whites and egg yolks, the springiness of the raw egg yolks and cooked egg whites exhibited a decreasing trend with the increase in the salting time and salt concentration.

This increase is accompanied by a decreasing trend in the mean monsoon rainfall and a weakening variance of its low-frequency ISO (LF-ISO) cycle.

For CEM III grouts, the capacitance C 2 reached its first maximum at 50 days, and it fell from that age to 120 days, rising from then until 150 days approximately, when it showed a decreasing trend in general terms.
