Overall, both the 3 d and 28 d compressive strengths of AAS exhibited a decreasing trend with increasing SS dosages.

Conversely, the concentration of Zn and Ca within the β phases exhibits a decreasing trend with increasing Al content. 3.2.

With respect to the variation in drying shrinkage coefficient, both materials displayed an increasing trend with prolonged curing age.

The present case study indicates that abrasive particles are capable of forming an interesting trend in abrasive tool development.

A similar trend is observed in flexural performance; at low concentrations (≤10 wt%), they exhibit a positive trend.

To address this issue, chloride ingress into concrete can be analyzed by considering only the diffusion zone where the concentration profile exhibits a decreasing trend [ 29 , 49 ].

Direct aging treatment of the as-extruded AE45-Gd magnesium alloy revealed that, as aging progressed, the number of Al 11 RE 3 (La, Ce, Gd) particles exhibited an overall trend of initially increasing and then decreasing, reaching a maximum at peak aging.

An increasing trend was also observed in hardened concrete density, with mean 28-day increases of approximately 1.12% for CS1 and 5.84% for CS2, relative to the control mixture.

The increment reached a maximum of 86.8%, followed by a decreasing trend when the reaction was further prolonged to 2.5 h.

Thus, the differences among the groups may be significant in the clinical dehiscence defects which cannot maintain the graft materials easily, further study designs may be necessary in the future for confirmation.

Among a series of salts 37 ( Scheme 11 ), it has been observed that the melting points show an increasing trend as the chain length increases.

Recently in ABO 3 type perovskite, an interesting trend between atomic weight ratio of A and B sites (R w = W A /W B ) and piezoelectric constant (d 33 ) was demonstrated irrespective of tolerance factor (F t ) [ 136 ].

The remaining two settings also showed a trend toward better low contrast depiction with NIP.

In all time groups, the ε-Fmax did not significantly change with respect to the initial value but showed a trend of increasing values.

An obvious trend can be found from the table: the ternary metal oxide which exhibits a larger valence state of the M ion (larger y ) shows a higher crystallization temperature.

Referring to Figure 9 , in the case of these two highest stresses, the minimum strain rate did not exhibit a significant trend as a function of aging treatment.

The data for MgCl 2 solution also demonstrated a decreasing trend.

The large decrease of GCL hydraulic conductivity was due mainly to the extremely significant hydration swelling of bentonite.

The experimental results also have an increasing trend from pure ZnO to Si-doped ZnO [ 15 ].

With the increase in the Cu dose, OH − was eventually depleted and CaCO 3 replace OH − to react with CuCl 2 , as expressed below: 2CuCl 2 + 2CaCO 3 + 2H 2 O → Cu 2 (OH) 3 Cl + 3Cl − + OH − + 2Ca 2+ + CO 2 (2) This was well reflected in the scenarios of high Cu doses, showing lower carbon content in the solid residue, relative to that in the original red mud and a clear trend that carbon content in the solid residue decreased with increasing Cu dose ( Figure 1 b).

Although there is an increasing trend for metal-free restorations in the dental profession, failures in the form of fracture or chipping associated with such materials are still being reported [ 1 ] indicating that there is still place for the indication of metal-ceramic fixed-dental-prosthesis (FDP).

The prepared ACF from bamboo were found to be mainly type I of isotherm, but the mesoporosity presented an increasing trend after 700 °C.

This is contrary to the majority of the COOH-MWCNT-reinforced epoxy CFRP composites, where a clear trend of the straining hardening plateau occurred after passing the linear elastic zone.

Analysis of variance also confirmed that the models were highly significant, as the probability ( p ) values of all regression models were less than 0.003.

A general approach to achieving much reduced κ values therefore remains elusive and the effects of synthesis and processing may be significant [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ].
