As expected, an increasing trend for G*/sin δ among all the mixing methods was identified.

In the case of the results at 180 °C, the result indicated a decreasing trend to 35% in 5% CRM and 55% in 10% CRM.

In the latter stages, however, when there are too few internal pores to accommodate new hydration products, internal stress is generated, which eventually further cracks; Up to a hydration age of 270 days, the compressive strength of cement-based materials increased continuously, but subsequently showed a decreasing trend, which is related to the effect of rehydration on the internal pore structure of cement-based materials.

In contrast, the two mechanical property differences of moso bamboo in the radial direction ( Table 2 ) showed an increasing trend of both tensile strength and elastic modulus from the inside to the outside.

The loss tangent had also a clear trend, here without any exception, Figure 8 .

From the observation of EBSD, the average grain size of the two solid solution treated alloys had an increasing trend, to ~220 and ~142 μm ( Figure S1a,b ).

The following facts can be expressed for the individual layer thicknesses: At a layer thickness of 50 μm, it is observed that all luting materials show a clear trend towards a reduction of the line widths from the visual to the near-infrared spectral ranges.

The P-wave velocity of the samples in the dry and natural state does not show a decreasing trend in velocity after the second and third microwave irradiation.

However, at higher concentrations (e.g., 10 wt.%) the losses have an increasing trend between 300 GHz and 800 GHz, in a rather similar way as the pure nanoparticles.

Experimental results suggest that mass loss (%) shows a decreasing trend as NSH increases.

In each stage of immersion, the trend of UCS with AE showed an increasing trend followed by a decreasing trend, which was the same as the initial strength change pattern without seawater immersion.

In the case of AE less than 9%, the compressive strength increased with AE, and when it was more than 12%, the compressive strength showed a decreasing trend.

The GPM specimens displayed an overall trend of growing and subsequently reducing mass change during the seawater immersion phase, as shown in Table 8 and Table 9 .

The initial compressive strength of GPM showed a trend of increasing and then decreasing with the increase in AE.

It can be concluded that the absence of a clear trend was due to the random formation of build-up edge independently from the texture design.

As shown in Figure 6 , the addition of SBS to the modified asphalt binders containing 6% processed oil resulted in a decreasing trend in G* sin δ values, with decreases of 67%, 62%, and 44% for SBS contents of 5%, 10%, and 15%, respectively.

[ 19 ], where the same membranes were used, the whey permeate flux was lower than the water flux, suggesting that the adsorption fouling and blockage of the membrane pores was quite significant.

While microscopy techniques such as SEM, TEM, EBSD, and EDS, provide very useful information, they are inherently destructive and require preparation that can, in some cases, be quite significant.

Figure 5 shows a clear trend of increasing the elastic modulus with age for juvenile specimens for either species.

As shown in Figure 4 g,h, water content at both loading current densities has a decreasing trend with an increasing stoichiometric ratio, and a stoichiometric ratio of 100 generates more water content than a stoichiometric ratio of 400.

The experimental data showed a trend of increasing elastic modulus with age for juvenile bone specimens.

Keeping the mass fraction of RM constant, the value of UCS showed an overall trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the increasing modulus of alkali activator.

It can be seen that the solid solubility of Nb in austenite showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing with the increase of carbon content, which was similar to the trend calculated by Ohtani’s equation, as shown in Figure 2 .

On the other hand, when the specific EMI SE values are normalized by area density, both 2-gNWFs and gNWFs show a decreasing trend with increasing amounts of GO fiber precursors.

When normalized by density, the specific EMI SE values of both 2-gNWFs and gNWFs show an increasing trend with the use of more GO fiber precursors, due to the increasing EMI SE values while maintaining similar densities.
