The phrase "a pattern of reductions" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing trends or consistent decreases in a particular context, such as economics, statistics, or any field where measurements are being analyzed.
Example: "The study revealed a pattern of reductions in energy consumption over the past decade."
Alternatives: "a trend of decreases" or "a series of cutbacks."
Analysis of the individual sites suggested a pattern of reductions in injection risk behaviors in the Philadelphia site.
I think the NASA [budget] increase is good, and there is some good science and technology spending in the program, but it really did not restore a lot of the reductions that had been made in the fiscal year 2010 budget, so it continues a pattern of reductions to exploration, even though the NASA top line did go up somewhat.
When the size of facial elements is considered relative to the size of postcranial elements, we observe in the Palauan sample a pattern of reduction in the craniofacial skeleton similar to that seen in LB1.
Although there was a pattern of reduction, our results showed that 10 µM cytochalasin B or 20 µM METH individual treatment had no significant effect on cell viability unlike the combination of cytochalasin B and METH (Fig 5B).
The interaction of dose by type of drug was not significant, and all drugs (zolpidem and zaleplon for polysomnographic and subjective sleep latency and eszopiclone and zolpidem for subjective sleep latency, the latter being significantly more effective in this particular outcome) showed a pattern of greater reductions in sleep latency with larger doses.
As they are intracellular, secondary symbionts also show a pattern of genome reduction but to a lesser extent than primary symbionts.
6 A pattern of CMRgl reduction in the posterior cingulate cortex and precuneus has been reported in MCI patients, 7 and hypometabolism in these regions might contribute to prediction of clinical AD conversion.
Genome sequencing of each of these pairs of endosymbionts (i.e., Sulcia + Baumannia Sulcia + Hodgkinia Sulcia + Zinderia) revealed a pattern of genome reduction implicating the bacterial endosymbionts as nutrient provisioners to their insect hosts: genes that are retained in the bacterial genomes are those that encode essential nutrients absent in the host insects' diet of plant sap [ 18- 21].
The FDG-PET data demonstrated that AD patients show a pattern of bilateral MRglc reductions in the hippocampus, posterior cingulate, inferior parietal, and frontal cortices, while MCI patients presented with hypometabolism most consistently in the hippocampus and in the parietal cortex.
It was observed that although a pattern of body weight reduction was seen in these treated groups, however, when compared to the arthritic control group, the reduction was significantly less in case of indomethacin (P < 0.008, on day 8) and NHAG treatment (P < 0.03, on day 12 onward).
In particular, our results revealed a pattern of overlapping GM reduction in SAN and dlPFC across all domains, which is consistent with most recent meta-analyses in SZ patients.
