The phrase "a very little decrease" is not commonly used in written English and may sound awkward.
It can be used when describing a minor reduction in quantity or amount, but it is more natural to use simpler expressions.
Example: "There was a very little decrease in sales this quarter compared to the last."
Alternatives: "a slight decrease" or "a minimal decrease."
In fact, the researchers observed the doped semiconductor for over a year and found very little decrease in the electrical conductivity.
Current statistics reveal an increase in cancer incidence with very little decrease in mortality.
Six hours of hypoxia caused very little decrease in growth rate while a 24 h period almost halved the rate.
Very little decrease (but with no statistical significance, T-test P = 0.45) of gene expression in smGRE-cells (GRE: 67 ± 4%; smGRE: 64 ± 5%) indicated that the methylation of GRE itself cannot increase the gene expression unless with the GR binding.
We observed very little decrease in cell viability in either cell type treated with either material.
The resulting scenarios show very little decrease in adaptive capacity and whilst down-turns are possible, the predominant trend is for a steady increase in adaptive capacity.
56% (control) and 78.9% (ACP) reported "no" subjective decrease in quality of life (Qol) and only 20% (Control) and 5.3% (ACP) reported "very little" decrease in quality of life (P = 0.3316).
Indeed, the self-cleavage reaction of ADHR1 previously irradiated in the presence of mineral particles showed very little decrease in the reaction parameters, with 58% self-cleavage at equilibrium and kobs = 0.016 min-1, while the same parameters of its control were 64% and 0.016 min-1, respectively.
The interesting point related to the viscosity of nanolubricants with 0.1 wt.% concentration is that in each of the two mentioned temperatures (40°C and 100°C), the viscosity of the oil which did not contain CuO nanoparticles had a very little amount of decrease.
