Excerpts

Therefore, the discharge capacity of the battery has a decreasing trend with the number of cycles.

It can be seen that the number of dynamically precipitated particles exhibits an increasing trend with the decrease of strain rate, and their distribution developed from the grain boundary to among the DRXs, with a more diffuse distribution.

The friction coefficient showed a trend of decreasing first and then increasing with the increase in some surface topography parameters at lower pressure, such as the surface height arithmetic mean Sa , surface height distribution kurtosis Sku , surface volume average volume Vvv , and surface center area average void volume Vvc , which are the ISO 25178 international standard parameters.

That is illustrated by a decreasing trend in the number of cells after 48 h in the direct test.

In this context, if the surface treatment can be easily applied to customized and/or ready-made abutments, the clinical benefit might be significant.

Interestingly, stage I ovarian carcinoma showed a trend to increased expression of cathepsin B mRNA compared to normal tissue ( Supplemental Figure S1D ).

Although 1 vol.% RGO still homogeneously distributed in the Cu-matrix, GNPs demonstrated an evident trend to aggregate when their content was above 0.5 vol.%.

The SEM micrographs of the TiO 2 thin films in the as-grown and heat-treated state indicate a clear trend; a higher oxygen ratio in the reactive atmosphere is reported to result in a lower deposition rate, easier saturation of growing TiO 2 species on the growth front and consequently more pronounced columnar growth.

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.

The P values confirm that large cumulative strain applied to base bitumen showed an almost insignificant strain recovery during unloading [ 42 ].

Workability of Fresh Paste Workability of the pastes show a clear trend towards higher spreads with increasing l/s ratios and higher fly ash contents ( Figure 3 ).

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.

As shown in Figure 8 , with the heating rate increasing from 0 to 20 °C/min, the apparent porosity possesses an increasing trend; however, when the heating rate further increases to 30 °C/min, it decreases slightly because of the pores’ shrinkage caused by the hydration of the matrix surrounding the pores [ 35 , 40 ].

There is a clear trend of decreasing mechanical properties by FSW process.

Two-layered reinforcement caused a highly significant increase in density, leading to the p -value of 0.000 for all three variants compared to the control plywood.

For a certain porosity PTFE/Al energetic material, as the strain rate increases, the yield strength, compressive strength, and failure strain of the material all show an increasing trend.

In contrast, the creep curves for the testing temperature higher than 450 °C show an increasing trend, rather than a steady stage at the end of the creep curve.

It can be seen from the table that the densities of the foam materials presented an increasing trend with the increase of the fiber addition amount.

During this process, the load curve showed a trend of gradual decline.

From Table 9 , we observed that, with the increase of age, the strength of the specimens showed a trend of increase, but the crack in Zhejiang and the strength of the emulsified asphalt cold recycled of specimen preparation always failed to reach a high emulsification.

As for the lower half, although the coagulation of powder was quite significant, its morphology was much better compared to the upper half.

The highest modulus and hardness were measured in materials irradiated by 132 kGy, while the materials exposed to higher radiation levels displayed a decreasing trend in the aforementioned properties.
