The phrase "a decrease in width" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when describing a reduction in the measurement or extent of something's width, such as in a physical object or a conceptual idea.
Example: "The design changes resulted in a decrease in width, making the product more compact and easier to handle."
Alternatives: "a reduction in width" or "a narrowing in width".
One can note an increase in intensity and a decrease in width of the reflexes with increasing the irradiation power.
Also the FEM simulations indicate that in this frequency range there are resonant modes with a buckling nature that change for a decrease in width, consistent with experimental observations.
Concerning the cross-sectional coronal width measurements in the maxilla, Fig. 3b shows a V-shaped pattern, meaning that there was a decrease in width of the alveolar bone towards the midline area in all three groups.
Concerning the cross-sectional coronal width measurements in the mandible, Fig. 3c showed a V-shaped pattern, meaning that there was a decrease in width towards the midline area in all three groups.
The staircase routine called for an increase in grating width following an incorrect response and a decrease in width following two consecutive correct responses (Wetherill and Levitt, 1965).
Over time, cell migration into the scratch wound leads to a decrease in width (wound closure), and thus differences in the rate of wound closure can be attributed to differences in cell migration [ 9].
This decrease may correspond to a decrease in the width of fracture apertures in the fractured granite, or their closure.
Indeed, this is equivalent with a decrease in the width of double layers, while the amplitude of the produced double layer remains unchanged.
Two-step aging causes a decrease in the width of precipitate-free zones in the large-particle specimen, resulting in the improvement of fatigue life.
Using pedobarographic measurements, Geary and Mittal [18] found a significant decrease in pressure, an increase in contact surface of the great toe and the medial side of the foot, and a decrease in forefoot width.
It should be noted that at this story level there is a decrease in the width of the columns by 5 cm as well as a decrease in reinforcement ratio for most of the columns.
