The phrase "a decrease in length" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a reduction in the size or measurement of an object or entity, particularly in contexts like science, engineering, or textiles.
Example: "After the washing process, there was a noticeable decrease in length of the fabric."
Alternatives: "a reduction in length" or "a shortening in length".
Both species demonstrated an increase in the incidence of deformity, and a decrease in length at hatch as NA concentrations increased.
Certain expectations have been disappointed, notably due to a decrease in length of stays.
Haloperidol led to a significant decrease in the incidence of delirium within the first 7 days after surgery (15.3% vs. 23.2%; P = 0.031) and a decrease in length of ICU stay (21.3 h vs. 23 h; P = 0.024).
So to speak, the effect of substrate temperature on the morphology of the fabricated AgNR is that the rise of substrate temperature leads to an increase in diameter, but a decrease in length and density, while no apparent change in tilting angle within the above temperature range.
In addition, since the flow structure downstream of a certain distance from the nose of the train (less than one coach length) is more or less constant, a decrease in length does not alter the essential physical features of the flow [29].
They found a decrease in length of stay and mortality.
All four methods used to assess cilia length showed a decrease in cilia length in the airway epithelial cells of healthy smokers compared with nonsmokers.
As the contour length increases, the spread of the correlation with end to end distance will increase with a decrease in persistence length.
A decrease in hair length could be due to either a shorter duration of hair growth or a slower hair growth rate.
Measured liquid lengths changed as in-cylinder conditions changed, with increasing temperature and density during the compression stroke causing a decrease in liquid length, and decreasing temperature and density during the expansion stroke causing an increase in liquid length.
"This would mean a decrease in the length of the day, with the corresponding rise in tempo of many human activities, if any still persisted!
