The phrase "a model of decay" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe something that exemplifies or represents the process of decay, whether in a literal or metaphorical sense.
Example: "The abandoned building stood as a model of decay, with its crumbling walls and overgrown vegetation."
Alternatives: "an example of deterioration" or "a representation of decline."
A model of rain decay parameter in terms of rain rate is proposed which accounts for different types of rain at the present location.
The mean adsorption clearance for each mediator was simulated using a model of monoexponential decay (limited to the first 30 min of circulation), employing the two equations: CB 30) = CB 0) e k t and CL 30) = k × V, where CB 0) and CB 30) were respective concentrations in the plasma reservoir at t0 and t30, respectively.
In a model of mRNA decay pathways, the endo-RNase activity of RNase Y in B. subtilis is believed to take the place of RNase E in E. coli.
The authors use an approach based on testing whether C-to-T damage patterns seen in degraded DNA fits a model of exponential decay from sequence termini in order to test a recent claim of 8,000 year old wheat DNA at a submerged site in Britain (Smith et al. 2015, Science).
We attempt to capture the characteristic of early rapid growth and decay that the data reveal, with a model of 'collective attention' decay, drawing on Wu and Huberman [31].
He stayed on even as Bushwick became a model of inner-city decay.
In this paper, a model of electric charge decay of charged particle in air is established, the influence of particle size, relative humidity of the atmosphere, relative permittivity and initial q/m i.e. charge to mass ratio of charged micropowder on the decay process are evaluated.
The incorporation of the model of decay parameter provides a better estimation of rain attenuation than the existing SAM and ITU-R model.
Although these individual results demonstrate the potential predictive power of our tie features, to get a complete picture of tie persistence we build a predictive model of tie decay based on all the features introduced in the last section.
The method relied on the experienced use of the IML-Resi, knowledge of models of decay in trees and image analysis software (Johnstone et al. 2007, 2010 b ).
