The phrase "a decrease in capacities" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a reduction in the ability or potential of something, such as resources, skills, or systems.
Example: "The recent budget cuts have led to a decrease in capacities for our research department, affecting our ability to conduct experiments."
Alternatives: "a reduction in capabilities" or "a decline in abilities".
It reported yesterday that the overall number of passengers it flew in December grew 1.5percentt compared with December of last year despite a decrease in capacity of 2.3percentt.
Column method examinations allow many service and regeneration cycles without a decrease in capacity or exhaustion of ion exchange ability of clinoptilolite.
In artificial neural networks a decrease in capacity can be caused by a decrease in the number of neurons.
One explanation for the butyrate paradox is that healthy cells have an efficient butyrate metabolism resulting in low intracellular butyrate concentrations and therefore a decrease in capacity to inhibit growth [53].
At 500 mu W/cm2 a decrease in capacity of work, in value of unconditioned feeding stimulus, in investigating activity, electronic irradiation threshold, and in inhibition of cellular and humoral immunity were also observed.
The shape of the breakthrough went from sharp to diffuse as fouling progressed (Fig. 7), and indicated that the loss in capacity and rapid breakthrough observed at the end of the study was due to severe mass transfer resistance, rather than a decrease in capacity due to foulant binding in place of the protein molecule of interest.
However, there was a trend towards a decrease in H2O2 production in the CR-soy compared with control-soy group for mitochondria respiring on pyruvate/malate/succinate plus antimycin A. Overall, the results of these studies suggest that CR induces a decrease in capacity for ROS production from Complex III.
Studies comparing young and old livers in rats showed that older livers have slower and weaker regenerative capacity, a decrease in homeostatic capacity, and a lower inflammatory response rate [37].
Assuming a constant total lung capacity, a decrease in inspiratory capacity will indicate an increase in the end-expiratory lung volume, which indicates the degree of dynamic hyperinflation.
A decrease in neuronal capacities involved in learning and navigation is a possible cause.
