The phrase "a discrete decrease in" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when describing a specific, distinct reduction in a measurable quantity or variable.
Example: "The study revealed a discrete decrease in the population of the endangered species over the last decade."
Alternatives: "a noticeable decline in" or "a distinct reduction in".
At Tc, there was a discrete decrease in GGT activity when compared to Tc0, but the values remained within the reference values for the species, suggesting that there were no hepatic injuries resulting from blood loss.
This separation, commonly described as plug shearing, results in cessation of feeding and is manifested as a discrete decrease in the electrical current required by the plug screw feeder motor and an accumulation of corn stover in the inlet zone of the plug screw feeder.
By measuring the discrete decreases in fluorescence intensity as incorporated fluorophores bleach over time, SPOT permits a direct measure of the number of incorporated fluorophores and the fluorophore labeling efficiency for multi-component nanoparticles.
This "wave" effect was manifested as the more or less regular periodic appearance of discrete decreases in DNA copy number values spanning about 10-100 Kb, and occurring approximately every 50-500 Kb along each chromosome, with an amplitude of approximately 1-1.5 log2 ratio values.
We conclude that trocar-induced liver injury promotes limited blood loss, discrete hypotension and a minor decrease in cardiac output.
Bed dilution does not yield a homogeneous activity decrease, but gives rise to a discrete local activity in an inert surrounding.
"You cannot get at the problem in a discrete trial in an American courtroom".
Constance's time in the care of corporate housing would hang like a discrete interlude in her life.
In the discrete time model, the function N t is technically only defined when t/τ ∈ ℕ, since we assume a discrete growth in population.
Metastatic nodes follow a discrete pattern of change with some early volumetric regression and a larger decrease in FLT uptake.
In the first simulation step, 1000 discrete generations with a constant population size of 2000 were simulated, followed by 1000 generations with a gradual decrease in population size from 2000 to 100 in order to create initial LD.
