The introduction of boric anhydride creates a moderately significant impact on the strength of the engineered cementitious composites.

The yield stress and viscosity of neat OWC slurries had a decreasing trend with the increase of WCRs.

Similarly, only the yield stress of OWC composites added with CNCs obtained by the BPM and MBM models had an obvious trend, increasing with the increase of the CNC addition amount ranging from 0.05% to 0.20%.

The ME coefficient shows a decreasing trend under a low stress and the curve shifts to the left overall with an increase in magnetic field.

Additionally, the result shows that the weight loss rate of the M1-M4 samples with the Mo addition presents a decreasing trend, except for the M3 sample.

For the bridge deck, it can be seen from Figure 9 that the complex shear modulus of bitumen from BD-UL and BD-BL showed a slight downward trend in the low frequency state, while there was an increasing trend in the high frequency state.

It can be seen that when the relative mass loss is less than 4%, the CC index decreases gradually as the relative mass loss increases, while the RMSD and MAPD indices show an increasing trend, especially for PZT transducer #2.

When the relative mass loss is higher than 4%, the CC index of PZT transducer #1 shows a fluctuating variation, but that of PZT transducer #2 shows a decreasing trend.

As shown in Figure 7 , the storage modulus of all Gr-MRE exhibited an increasing trend with the growth of frequency and decreased when approaching 60 Hz.

A decreasing trend for the availability of natural sand for the past 15 years has been reported [ 1 ].

A clear trend of gradually decreasing DTL was established with increasing temperature over the range of 23 to 140 °C for FFRP laminates following an impact energy of 5 joules, as seen in Figure 8 .

The wear rates and friction coefficients of these Cu-CNTs composites showed a decreasing trend with increasing CNT content.

Particularly, often they are mentioned together with NIRF (Near Infrared Fluorescence) using the dye Cy5.5 (Cyanine 5.5)-SPION system [ 45 ], but also CT (Computed Tomography), PET (Positron Emission Tomography), and SPECT (Single Photon Emission Tomography) are possible to be used in combination with MRI when applying SPIONs as a multimodal contrast [ 46 ] Finally, there is an increasing trend to use SPIONs in diagnostic and clinical techniques.

After 250 cycles, the Rct and W of the Cel-CS showed an increasing trend to a smaller extent, while that of Cu-CS showed an obvious increase, implying better structure stability of the Cel-CS electrode.

However, due to the functions of internal autoclaving, secondary hydration of unhydrated clinkers and SCMs, and the pozzolanic effect, the post-fire strength of concrete may have an increasing trend before 300 °C [ 43 , 44 , 45 ], especially for the concrete made with siliceous aggregates [ 43 ].

Even though the bending strengths were comparable in all three attempts, considering standard deviations, there were partially significant differences regarding laminate thickness and maximum bending force ( Figure 3 d).

However, at higher compositions, x = 0.08 and 0.10, a decreasing trend has been observed, which shows the reluctance in the mixing of V ions.

As shown in Table 2 , with an increasing LDH dose, the TTI of asphalt binders shows an increasing trend, whereas the THR gradually decreases.

Accordingly, the SD of charge quantity also showed an increasing trend as surface roughness increased.

E values and H values for the secondary cell wall ( Figure 8 ) both showed an increasing trend from the inner to the outer parts of the wood disc, but a significant reduction was shown from S2 to S1.

However, in a two-step foaming process, in which there is a finite time between the depressurization and the foaming, the skin thickness may be significant.

The packing porosity was deliberately given as 0%, 20%, 40%, and 60% in an increasing trend.

As can be observed from the figure, the specific wear rate shows an increasing trend for both WC samples with an increase in temperature.

The results show that the T g of WPCs demonstrated an increasing trend with increasing WF content, while the Delta l was reduced.

With increased WF content, the CLTE of WPCs showed a decreasing trend in the three temperature ranges [ 7 , 17 ].
