The apparent density and ultra-sonic pulse velocity exhibit a decreasing trend with increasing BF volume content.

Therefore, one can easily notice, as well, that contrastively to the pristine materials described above almost all dependencies reveal more or less significant and abrupt change occurring upon annealing held in 80 °C.

Comparison of trig -BC 11 ’s cohesive energy with those reported for trig -BC 5 [ 32 ] and trig-BC 7 [ 33 ] shows a clear trend of decreasing E coh /atom with increasing boron content: −2.49 eV (diamond) < −2.33 eV (BC 11 : 8.3 at% B) < −2.24 eV (BC 7 : 12.5 at% B) < −2.16 eV (BC 5 : 16.7 at% B).

This variation may be significant, as for the PEDOT:PSS/TiOPc, and less so for the TiOPc.

Dynamic Shear Stress and Yield Stress of Compositions Prepared with 0.005%, 0.01%, 0.5%, and 1.0% TO-NFC Shear stresses were recorded at various shear rates for all the compositions mentioned in Table 1 and Table 2 where they showed an increasing trend of shear stress with increasing the shear rate meaning the transition from a solid-like state to liquid-like state.

As shown in Figure 5 a,c, with the increase of receiving time, the electrical output of flexible HO-TENG shows an obvious trend of increasing first and then decreasing, and reaches the maximum value when the receiving time is 30 min.

It can be seen from Figure 7 that with the increase in the content of limestone fines, the carbonation depth of LMS concrete at each age (7 d, 14 d and 28 d) also showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.

The tensile strength and tensile deformation of ordinary sand with a 0.075–0.3 mm particle size show an increasing trend alongside the increase in age, whereas when the particle size exceeds 0.6 mm, a decreasing trend occurs.

Compression Test According to Table 4 , which presents the results of the concrete cube specimen’s compression after 28 days, the compressive strength of all the mixes does not show a conspicuous change as the increment varies in the small zone while forming a slight trend.

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.

Monoxide, perovskite, bredigite, metallic iron, and olivine have a decreasing trend with increasing temperature.

The improvement strength of the subsequent silt showed a trend of increasing and then decreasing with an increase in lignin; this shows that the addition of a certain amount of lignin is indeed beneficial to the improvement of the compressive strength of the sample, while the addition of an excessively high proportion has the opposite effect.

In stage III, the b -value showed a decreasing trend, and at the last stage when the failure was about to occur, the b -value dropped sharply and the b -value curve was sparse.

With the increase of deformation temperature, the volume fraction of Copper texture shows a decreasing trend, which is 9.52% at 400 °C but 0.75% at 475 °C.

Moreover, the setting times of the concrete specimens using IHB and type III showed a decreasing trend at all curing-temperature conditions.

The main conclusions are as follows: With the increase in EP content, the permeability of SMPCs increased from 33.9 to 38.2, and then decreased to 36.7, which showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing.

%, the P cv showed a decreasing trend, whereas when the EP content further increased from 1 to 2 wt. %, P cv increased slightly.

The mass loss rate of the MOS paste presents a decreasing trend with the increasing dosages of citric acid.

There is an obvious trend of increasing W ad with the index of the lattice plane.

The methane conversion profile of the catalysts (5Ni+xGd/YZr, x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) showed an increasing trend from 0.0 wt.% Gd 2 O 3 up to 4.0 wt.% Gd 2 O 3 and then tended to decline at 5.0 wt.% Gd 2 O 3 .

This sensitization is dose-dependent, indicating an increasing trend with dose.

The flexural strength and retention of samples immersed in water environments at different temperatures showed a decreasing trend with time.

An interesting trend is observed for triazene based sensors fabricated at different laser fluences ( Figure 9 ).
