The phrase "a gradual mode" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a method or approach that progresses slowly or incrementally over time.
Example: "The training program adopts a gradual mode to ensure that participants can absorb the material effectively."
Alternatives: "a gradual approach" or "a slow method".
XRD and EPMA results showed that at lower Al content (X=0, 5.35), reaction proceed through a gradual mode.
In both configurations, the skin initially buckled into three half-wavelengths and underwent two mode-shape changes; the first a gradual mode change characterised by a central deformation with double curvature and the second a dynamic snap to five half-wavelengths.
κ = 1.0, as found for GS, denotes a gradual mode of GS evolution, while κ<1.0 compresses longer branches more than shorter ones.
This implies that the microbial taxonomic compositions in the polluted soil tended to slowly, but not completely, return to that at Week 0. Such a gradual mode of return was more clearly observed in the case of the control soil.
The parameter κ can be used to test for a punctuational versus gradual mode of trait evolution in branches of different lengths.
The kappa parameter scales branch lengths in tree [59], and can be used to test for a punctuational versus gradual mode of trait evolution.
"The market knows that the Fed is in a gradual tightening mode," Mr. Acuff said.
This suggests that the gradual mode of sequence evolution discussed above might be a general feature of short DNAs selectively driven or dragged to genomic over- or underrepresentation, including protein/transcription factor-binding, palindromic, repeated and other oligonucleotides.
The triangulation between the gradual mode expectation of the ancestor and the observed descendants results in a rescaling of branches such that the barycentre among them provides the best fit for the data [ 58]; a procedure akin to Farris optimization [ 60, 61].
As Figure 5A B and Tables 6 and 7 show, the gradual mode of evolution suggested by the results on these DUESs seems to be a common feature of other selectively constrained oligonucleotides, including the other pasteurellacean DUES as well as several other pro- and eukaryotic short repeated, palindromic and protein-binding DNAs.
A gradual move toward reform appears evident.
