The phrase "a more severe reduction" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a decrease that is greater in intensity or magnitude compared to another reduction.
Example: "The new policy will lead to a more severe reduction in emissions than previously anticipated."
Alternatives: "a greater reduction" or "a more significant decrease".
In contrast, the intense bands between 800 and 1,330 cm−1 in the CuNPs/rGO spectrum correspond to stretching vibrations (mainly from epoxy and ketone groups), which suggests that decoration with CuNPs inhibits a more severe reduction of GO.
These conditions resulted in a more severe reduction in brain PtO2 (23.2 ± 8.2 to 10.7 ± 3.6 mmHg (p < 0.05), a reduction in muscle PtO2 (44.5 ± 11.0 to 19.9 ± 12.4 mmHg, p < 0.05), a further increase in venous oxygen extraction, and a threefold increase in systemic lactate levels (p < 0.05).
Blunted affect is a more severe reduction.
In pectoral fin buds of the syu mutant, a more severe reduction in fin bud size was seen after ablation of the apical fold [16].
This discrepancy in the phenotypes for TG-RNAi flies of the two strains may be due to a more severe reduction level of TG in our RNAi flies by the different driver at higher temperature.
We also note that by quantification we observed a more severe reduction in germ cell number at E15.5 and E16.5 in male Dazl mutants than in females, suggesting a sex-specific difference in the kinetics of germ cell loss.
The analysis reveals a progressively more severe reduction in groundwater in Northwestern India between 2002 and 2008.
Given that our experiments show that the fine ash causes a much more severe reduction in output power at PV-modules than coarser ash, it is likely that such measurements would have experienced a slightly stronger reduction with the same amount of ash.
The siRNAs against CDK11 reduced expression ∼50% relative to the control siRNAs, a slightly more severe reduction than the Cyclin T1 siRNAs.
Although the control eri-1 strain showed a much more severe reduction in locomotion during ageing than the N2 control strain, dnj-14 RNAi exacerbated this further (Fig. 2E), consistent with results from the mutant strains.
One of the best-known systems of hormesis is ischemic preconditioning (IPC), whereby short episodes of ischemia protect the brain against a later, more severe reduction in oxygen and nutrient supply.
