The phrase "a steeper decay" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing rates of decline, such as in scientific, economic, or mathematical discussions.
Example: "The data indicates a steeper decay in the population of the species over the last decade."
Alternatives: "a sharper decline" or "a more rapid decrease."
In addition, behavior in the Central Zone and Rim Zone is similar for both types of motion, although the Rim Zone distributions have a slightly steeper decay (finite speed segments decay rates: 2.1 s in CZ and 1.37 s in RZ; near-zero speed segments: 0.14 s in CZ and 0.17 s in RZ).
Indeed, we found that λ was more correlated in time during AW compared to WK and AN, as demonstrated by a significantly steeper decay in the autocorrelation for periods <10 s = 14.77, p < 0.001).
Note that larger k sp indicates steeper decay of SP as a function of delay (SP(D)).
Note that larger k sp corresponds to steeper decay of SP, and k sp is equal to delay D at which SP = 1/e in the single interruption rate model.
The spectrograms had a frequency resolution of 244 Hz and a time resolution of 0.256 ms. Custom-written MATLAB codes (Source code 1) were also used to generate spectrograms using the Blackman–Harris window which resulted in a clearer appearance of frequency-modulated calls with steeper decays and a higher resolution (MathWorks, Natick, MA, USA).
The signal corresponding to N(_{2}^) also shows a steep exponential decay up to a distance of 5 mm.
Thus the pattern of length distribution of simple indels shows a steep exponential decay.
Canopy cover is highly correlated to runoff and soil erosion with a steep exponential decay in runoff and erosion occurring as relative cover exceeds 30percentt.
That is, a relatively small number of molecules (the myosin heavy and light chain isoforms plus other major structural components such as ribosomal and mitochondrial proteins) dominate the sample, yielding a scale-free frequency distribution with a steep, exponential decay curve.
