Excerpts

The article presents the results of tests chosen by previous investigations [ 18 ] that showed that these properties might be significant for fly ash containing ammonia, and also other tests found valuable in this area.

The autogenous shrinkage of all of the AAS mortars was almost significantly attenuated by adding internal curing agents to the AAS mortars.

In addition, the elastic-wave velocity exhibited a decreasing trend as the moisture content of the specimen decreased with drying.

The amplitude decreased with the decrease in moisture content and reached a minimum value at approximately 1% moisture content; however, the amplitude exhibited an increasing trend at lower moisture content.

For this reason, there is an increasing trend for publications about prosthetic infection and the development of antimicrobial strategies, which was the basis for the literature survey adopted in this review.

From the experimental data and morphological characterization, the following conclusions are drawn: The friction coefficient of the PVDF thin films shows an increasing trend from 0.07 to 0.144 with the increase in displacement amplitude, and shows a decreasing trend from 0.115 to 0.081 with the increase in applied normal force under the setting condition.

However, the wear volume always shows an increasing trend with the increase in displacement amplitude.

(b) The total thickness of interfacial IMC (both Cu 6 Sn 5 and Cu 3 Sn) layer showed an increasing trend for non-reinforced SAC305 and SAC305-KGC composite solder joints which was about ~6–17 μm.

After PPA is incorporated, the softening point presents an increasing trend that rise dramatically when the PPA concentration exceeds 1.0 wt%.

As can be seen, G′ and G′′ exhibit a decreasing trend with increasing temperatures.

As shown in Table 4 , the corrosion current density increased in the following order: Base steel ≈ Cu-bearing steel < Ti-bearing steel, indicating a decreasing trend of corrosion resistance.

Collectively, the implications of the results are quite significant, since such N-PTT strategies provide several opportunities to overcome the challenges that are associated with conventional thermoseed technique.

Based on the tensile strength (maximum or breaking stress) recorded for all specimens, a decreasing trend was observed for each single specimen during various watering techniques (see Figure 17 ).

Production of synthetic graphite is mainly concentrated in the US, the EU, and Japan, and an increasing trend is forecasted for the synthetic graphite market owing to an increase in demand from the steel and electric battery industries.

Currently, there is an increasing trend to repair structures in order to preserve, rather than demolish them.

There seemed to be a clear trend for increased flexural strength in mortars with MgO, mostly until 7 days of age.

Though the rate of erosion is smaller, it may be significant in vivo.

Moreover, the amount of mass loss at approximately 250~300 °C showed a slightly increasing trend with each curing time.

A p < 0.05 was considered significant, and a p < 0.01 was considered highly significant. 3.

However, a slight trend towards an increase in the level of total LDL cholesterol and glucose and a decrease in HDL was visible.

We do not observe statistically significant differences in blood morphological and biochemical parameters in samples taken after 3 months of pigs feeding HF-CD, although an obvious trend towards total LDL cholesterol, glucose and HDL was quite visible Histopathological examination revealed atherosclerosis of the 1st and 2nd degree.

Conclusions In today’s over-technological world full of various stressors, living in a polluted environment, food substitutes and a sedentary way of working, the proportion of civilization diseases is rising sharply, and a worrying trend of exponential growth in cancer can be seen.

However, the fracture toughness exhibits a decreasing trend as the holding time increases.

All mechanical property parameters presented a statistical difference ( p < 0.05) among the starch films, despite the quite significant error for the Young’s modulus of maize and potato films. 3.3.

From ZBV1 to ZBV4, EBF and EABF values showed an increasing trend.
