Excerpts

Although the initial fractal dimensions of the four groups of specimens differ significantly, indicating varying degrees of complexity in pore structures, all groups exhibit a decreasing trend, in terms of fractal dimension, with the progression of F-Ts.

When the block proportion is >75%, UCSN still shows an increasing trend, and the increase is even greater.

According to Table 3 and Table 6 , with the increase in TM addition, the mechanical properties of Cr 0.47 Al 0.5 TM 0.03 N such as bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, and theoretical hardness exhibit a decreasing trend, while an increase in Cauchy pressure and Pugh’s index of ductility indicates an increased toughness and a tendency toward the mobile character of the bonds, which results in a decreased resistance against shearing.

As rubber particles possess a lower unit weight compared to that of the natural sand, CRGPC exhibits a decreasing trend in density with the increase of the percentage of rubber particles. 3.3.

In particular, it consistently exhibited a decreasing trend.

A clear trend between residual stress and chemical resistance was confirmed in an acid resistance test by using 40% HF [ 75 ] with no appreciable etching after the test for the lowest tensile stress (+41 MPa).

When the strength of the rock block is much higher than that of the matrix, and the block proportion is less than 70%, the uniaxial compressive strength of the sample shows an increasing trend with the increase in the block proportion [ 25 , 26 , 27 ], but when the block proportion exceeds 70%, the uniaxial compressive strength of the sample shows a decreasing trend [ 22 ].

As expected, an increasing trend in austenite vol.% was observed with increasing IAT from 680 °C to 740 °C.

This wide band shows an increasing trend with the CB content of the samples and is attributed to the -OH groups on the CB surface (oxidized -COOH and -OH groups as well as adsorbed water molecules [ 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ]).

Generally, SEA shows a decreasing trend with the variation in cross-sectional width, while the change in trend of ICF is opposite to that of SEA , which should be the result of the increasing influence of the multicellular tube’s mass on the optimization of larger cross-sectional width conditions.

Within the temperature range from 300 K to 2300 K, the elastic matrix components of the composite materials with different carbon fiber contents showed an increasing trend followed by decreasing trend with temperature.

It can be seen that at the annealing time of 30 s, the microhardness value is in a decreasing trend with the increase of annealing temperature.

It can be seen that with the increase of deformation, the hardness value of the austenitic stainless steel specimen is an increasing trend.

As soon as there was the increase in H 2 PO 4 − /PO 4 3− and SO 3 2− concentrations ( Figure 7 b), the stress–strain curves exhibited a slightly increasing trend and the sample breaks at a lower strain at break.

At 37.5 μM of RSV-NS, the metabolic activity is 65.73 ± 20.4%, denoting that the cytotoxic effect is moderately significant.

Nonetheless, the only concentration of RSV-NS that presents cytotoxic effects is 37.5 μM, with a metabolic activity of 64.24 ± 5.38%, considered as a slightly significant impact.

An increasing trend in the contact angle was observed with the increase in Sa in both surfaces with different wettabilities.

It also shows a parabolic change with the extension of the holding time, reaching a maximum of about 9.2% at 5 h of holding time, and a decreasing trend at 10 h of holding time, about 6.8%.

The lignin content increased after all treatments except P/160/120/5; however, the rise was not considerable and did not follow a clear trend depending on the TM parameters utilized.

As a result, we observe an increasing trend in the lattice thermal conductivity after more than half of the doping amount.

As depicted in Figure 7 , the density of silica aerogel shows an increasing trend with the addition of KH-570.

In zinc sulfate electrolyte, the peak intensity of I 3 − and I 5 − showed a trend of first increasing and then gradually weakening during the discharge process and gradually became stronger during the charging process, and the peak intensity of I 5 − was significantly higher than that of I 3 − .

In other words, all the simulated temperature curves exhibit a decreasing trend in peak temperatures along the depth from the top surface, which yields a significant grain growth difference in various layers, leading to the formation of the inverse gradient-grained structures.

As shown in Figure 3 a, comparing the same conservation method, the water absorption of the RAs under the effect of three bacterial liquid concentrations of 1%, 3%, and 5% did not decrease with the increase in the bacterial liquid concentration, but showed a trend of decreasing and then increasing with the increase in the concentration of the bacterial liquid.

With the increase in phosphoric acid concentration and temperature, the hysteresis loss P h exhibits an increasing trend.
