Excerpts

The difference of two absolute value equal or less than 20 is considered to be insignificant (marked as ≈) with 20 to 50 generally significant (marked as >) and more than 50 be highly significant (marked as »).

These results show an increasing trend in compressive strength as the curing age was increased.

Different values of tensile stresses applied during annealing have resulted in a redistribution of magnetoelastic anisotropy showing a decreasing trend in both DW velocities and coercivity of nanocrystalline samples.

In the composites, the maximum decomposition temperature corresponding to SBF shows an increasing trend.

Through the observation and analysis of Figure 7 , with the increase of the corrosion ratio, the bond failure load of the specimens presents a decreasing trend.

A clear trend of decreasing induction time with increasing alumina content is observed.

In addition, the crack initiated at the moment of reaching the peak load, then the peak curve shows a decreasing trend.

Recent studies also show an increasing trend towards discrete-dislocation-dynamics-based phase field models [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ] to describe plastic deformation, but such models can only be applied to smaller systems due to the associated computational cost.

The authors concluded that the use of biomaterials in the alveoli appeared to be slightly significant, especially when they were used in aesthetic areas [ 25 ].

In particular, anticancer nanomedicines are an important trend in cancer pharmaceutical research [ 185 ].

They found that the contributions of volume to bulk modulus varied between 17.1% and 62.4%, which are quite significant and important in quantitatively describing the Cauchy ratio for the considered metals.

With the use of binders, for all tested samples, there is a clear trend of CBR increase over time ( Figure 12 ).

Furthermore, the β parameter extracted from Test A shows an increasing trend when the driving current increases to 450 mA.

From these results, there is an apparent trend of increasing stress at 10% strain with increasing husks content.

However, since we have been studying samples for a longer time, we have found that after the period of one year, the samples showed different behavior: while C-M and M-G were very similar, showing practically constant values, values of both M-C and M-B began to grow, showing a quite significant increase.

Crack propagation exhibited a decreasing trend with an increase in water saturation.

Although there is an increasing trend in the application of ND with polymers [ 16 ], the application of the same in auto-polymerizing base polymers has been rare [ 17 ].

The results did not show a clear trend and further research is necessary to determine the optimal addition of Cu.

These differences were found to be highly significant for all of the parameters ( p -values were very close to zero and definitely lower than α).

After adding SBS latex, the G’ and G” values of the modified asphalt both underwent an increasing trend compared with the neat asphalt.

For both alloys, we obtained a clear trend.

For all specimens, the rutting depth of asphalt slabs had an increasing trend with the prolonging of repeated tracking.

In contrast, the m value showed a decreasing trend with the decline in testing temperature.

The microhardness results indicated a positive trend from the addition of silicon carbide to the Al alloy resulting in increased hardness from 60 HV to 110 HV for 6% SiC p addition, which was about 57%.

Although the authors of [ 14 ] find that layer height is slightly significant—and although it seems that the following assumption holds: the higher the height layer value, the greater the improvement detected regarding resistance—this cannot be assured, as the errors calculated for the multiplicative factor and the exponent in both equations mean that they can be the same.
