The phrase "accumulated toward" is not standard in written English and may cause confusion.
It could be used in contexts discussing the direction or purpose of accumulation, but it is not commonly found in formal writing.
Example: "The funds accumulated toward the new community center were finally sufficient to begin construction."
Alternatives: "accumulated for" or "gathered towards".
Donors can see the number of points they contributed, as well as the total points accumulated toward the goal — but they can't see the number of points contributed by others.
To deal with behavioral problems like tantrums and inappropriate eating, some families use "time-outs" (most effective with young children), nonfood rewards or treats or tokens, points or chips, which can be increased or decreased as needed and accumulated toward a real reward.
Mr. Hunt pointed out that during the Renaissance, when artists sought to achieve the sort of pretty green patina that is part of the natural corrosion process — and that Harlem Hybrid had accumulated toward its bottom sections — they would treat their bronze with urine to accelerate the chemical interaction.
Measurements of nitrate distribution showed that nitrate accumulated toward the boundary of the wetted volume for both the uniform and the layered soils.
When a magnetic field is placed near the solution, the as-prepared nanoparticles are attracted and accumulated toward the magnet, and the bulk solution becomes a clear phase, indicating that magnetic separation occurs.
On the other hand, magma may have accumulated at a deeper part before the eruption on May 29 , 2015 and its amount was two orders of magnitude greater than that accumulated toward shallower part before the eruption on August 3, 2014.
Its thickness often can be reduced at the top, because loads accumulate toward the base; in high buildings this is done by interior or exterior setbacks at the floor level of upper stories.
Theoretical models designed to explain how target-absent responses occur in visual searching propose that, during the course of a trial, evidence accumulates toward a trial quitting threshold (Wolfe & Van Wert, 2010).
Water vapor diffusion in a newly constructed asphalt pavement consists of water vapor accumulating toward the asphalt layer (Phase I) and water vapor passing through the asphalt layer (Phase II).
In the present study, we assume that strain is accumulating toward each of the fracture zones in the Nobeoka Thrust, eventually causing strain hardening associated with the observed increases in resistivity, P-wave velocity, and density in the surrounding damage zone, and strain-weakening associated with the increase in porosity in the brecciated zone (Figure 15).
The logic is to put less effort and get more energy from those inner strengths that accumulate toward one's evolution and make a difference in one's growth path, rather than waste most energy on things that could only improve to a pre-defined and limited scale, preventing growth acceleration (Linley 2008).
