Excerpts

In particular, the color, whiteness, and translucency differences found were higher after one heating cycle and followed a decreasing trend as the number of heating cycles increased.

On days 4, 7, and 14, an increasing trend with functionalized PEEK compared to non-functionalized PEEK was observed, but this was not significant.

A clear trend is the fabrication of multifunctional coatings that require the combination of different properties in the same material.

There is an increasing trend toward the application of bioactive glasses in different areas of biomedicine, including tissue engineering and oncology.

However, there is a clear trend in more recent studies to generate better results, possibly due to the utilization of more modern scanners.

Hemp stalks’ (fiber) mass can be quite significant and is now considered a low or no value product [ 11 ].

This is a highly significant finding that provides additional clinical evidence that Osseodensification increases clinician confidence and predictability during immediate implant placement.

However, a further increase in the heat treatment temperature resulted in a decreasing trend for both shape recovery and transformation strain. 3.2.

However, the normal force shows a decreasing trend followed by a stable state when the magnetic field strength reaches 740 kA/m.

When the addition of Na 2 SO 4 dosage exceeded 3%, its UCS showed a decreasing trend, probably because the Na 2 SO 4 that did not participate in the reaction remained in the pores of the PCCPB samples and produced sulfate erosion of the hydration products later [ 46 ].

However, T x has a decreasing trend with the increased Mg content.

With the increase in wheel speed, the peak grinding temperature showed a trend of a small increase and then a decrease.

Osteoblasts showed an increasing trend in the scaffolds and pore plates of all groups, and the number of cells reached the highest on day 5 ( Figure 8 A).

Interestingly, with the increase in the refractive index n , the sensitivity and FOM of the three Quasi BICs all illustrated an increasing trend, which verified that the interaction between the medium around the metasurface and the electric field is enhanced with the increase in the refractive index n .

At the same GFS content, with the increase in the specific surface area of the GFS powder, the total hydration heat release and hydration heat release rate showed an increasing trend.

However, the degree of crystallinity showed an increasing trend via a decreasing FWHM.

The Δ E j -a j curve has a Z-shape, with a monotonically decreasing Δ E j -a j curve before the EPB point and a monotonically increasing Δ E j -a j curve after the EPB point until the FS point when it starts to show a decreasing trend.

By calculating the average Ca/Si ratios of the gel phase (see Table 5 ), it was found that with the increase in the slag content, the average Ca/Si exhibited an increasing trend up to 0.7581.

The same changing tendency in F and q could be observed at the three temperature gradients: there is a critical speed for performance change, which shows an increasing trend before the critical speed and a decreasing trend after the critical speed.

Therefore, compared to the extension line of the S–N curve for the surface crack initiation, the fatigue life of the internal crack initiation has shown an increasing trend ( Figure 3 ).

As depicted in Figure 5 , when the replacement rate of recycled coarse aggregates reaches 50%, the compressive strength of recycled concrete exhibits an increasing trend alongside the volumetric dosage of steel fibers.

Additionally, the flexural strength of the GMPF samples with a 3.0 vol% polypropylene fiber dosage shows a decreasing trend, with a 7.1% decrease compared to the preceding group.

Furthermore, polypropylene fibers significantly improved the matrix’s flexural toughness, which showed an increasing trend with higher fiber content.

As the Al content increases from 6 at.% to 14 at.%, the combustion enthalpy of the alloys has a slightly increasing trend ( Figure 7 a), from 10.826 KJ/g at x = 0 at.% to 11.749 KJ/g at x = 8 at.%.

Upon cell activation, the capacity of the electrodes shows an increasing trend, which was followed by a gradual stabilization.
