The phrase "a reduction in breakdown" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a decrease in the frequency or severity of breakdowns, often in a technical or operational context.
Example: "The new maintenance schedule has led to a significant reduction in breakdown, improving overall efficiency."
Alternatives: "a decrease in failures" or "a decline in malfunctions."
In humans, activities such as sprinting rely on glycogen as a main source of energy, a reduction in glycogen breakdown would therefore be unfavorable to sprint athletes [ 59].
These results corroborate the known regulation mechanism of the Calvin cycle, which is prevented from functioning in a futile reaction through a reduction in glucose breakdown via a decreased glycolysis, a process that is achieved by the light-driven electron flow production of reduced thioredoxin, which inhibits the glycolytic enzyme phosphofructokinase [ 44, 45].
Next, we assert the need for an explanatory and predictive model of the phenomenon in the search for a reduction in the breakdowns reported and propose such a model.
Propranolol affects the glucose dynamics during stimulation, and this was accurately reproduced in the model by a reduction in the glycogen breakdown in astrocytes.
So fairly small changes in their lives — like a reduction in work hours or the breakdown of a car — may lead them to walk away from their homes.
A reduction in scent-marking following the breakdown of a wolf pack (due to control or disease) may be followed by a rapid shift in territory boundaries and infiltration of floaters [12].
The addition of PAAS as an anion species in the anodic electrolyte increased the conductivity of the solutions, leading to the reduction in breakdown voltage and thus the more vigorous discharging process on the metal surface during anodization.
Simulated JTE charge profiles predict near-ideal breakdown values with surface fields less than 60% of their bulk values, and show that the critical implant activation percentage can vary as much as 40% with only 10% reduction in breakdown voltage for lightly doped blocking layers.
(b) Percent reduction in breakdown voltage from 'clean' dry air with aluminum and iron nanoparticle seeding with error bars corresponding to one standard deviation.
Such ex situ diagnostic techniques could be used to build empirical correlations between reduction in breakdown voltage and characteristics of the particles such as size, shape, and degree of oxidation.
