The phrase "a pronounced decrease of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a significant reduction in quantity, quality, or intensity of something.
Example: "The study revealed a pronounced decrease of productivity among employees during the summer months."
Alternatives: "a significant reduction in" or "a marked decline in".
Such evolution induces a pronounced decrease of the cyclic strain hardening rate in the cyclic stress-strain curve.
Isothermal cyclic deformation at 800 °C led to a pronounced decrease of cyclic life with both heat treatments exhibiting a very similar fatigue behavior.
The results showed a pronounced decrease of the thermal conductivity from 91 down to 59 mW/(m·K), corresponding to a U-value of these "aerobricks" of only 0.157 W/(m2·K).
Upon acute Ap4 inactivation, organoids showed a pronounced decrease of ISC markers, an increase of Paneth cell markers, as well as a decrease of goblet cell markers within 3 days after exposure to 4-OHT, whereas organoids derived from Villin-Cre-ERT2/Ap4 wild-type mice exposed to 4-OHT did not display significant changes in the expression of these markers (Fig. 7a).
When a superior set of control parameters is adopted, significant enhancement of lift coefficient and lift-to-drag ratio can be achieved after stall, accompanying a pronounced decrease of drag coefficient.
A pronounced decrease of proton leak (Fig. 4C) is largely responsible for this lowered basal respiration.
Moreover, we have recently showed in BDL rats a pronounced decrease in liver and plasma AChE levels, with selective loss of the G4 specie (García-Ayllón et al., 2006).
Similarly, application of the inhibitor of calmodulin-regulated enzymes, calmidazolium chloride (CMZ, 10 μM, 3 h), as well as the potent irreversible inactivator of calmodulin, fluphenazine- N-2-chloroethane (FPZ, 10 μM, 3 h), resulted in a rapid and pronounced decrease of the protein level of c-FLIPS in A549, and the effect on c-FLIPS expression was attenuated in the presence of MG132.
Furthermore, both increase and pronounced decrease of systolic blood pressure during early orthostasis indicate a higher risk of death due to cerebrovascular disease, whereas blood pressure decrease on standing in the advanced age seems to be also an independent predictor of higher cardiovascular mortality.
A meta-analysis of volumetric structural MRI studies investigating hippocampus reported a 4% bilateral volume reduction in schizophrenic patients [ 43], while some studies observed pronounced decrease of hippocampal structure only on the left side e.g., [ 57].
The pronounced decrease of Effective Thermal Conductivity (ETC) due to the cracking behavior of concrete changes the temperature profile in concrete structures, indirectly inducing the redistribution of thermal stresses.
