Sentence examples for amount of contraction from inspiring English sources
Wedgwood noticed that very high temperatures made pieces of clay shrink, and created a temperature scale by assuming that the amount of contraction was proportional to temperature beyond "red heat".
It has also been observed that the amount of contraction and excess pore water pressure generation increases with increase in confining pressure for both Panki and Panipat pond ash samples under undrained condition.
Significant differences were found in the 5-HT doses eliciting roughly the same amount of contraction: migraine patients (examined in headache-free period) are more sensible (lower 5-HT dose) than controls (P < 0.001), migraine women are more sensible than migraine men (P < 0.001).
Furthermore, the amount of contraction across the fold-and-thrust fault belts is so large, reaching 10 15 km from Pliocene to Quaternary (Okada and Ikeda 2012), that the subsurface fault structure is distinctly illustrated by gravity anomalies and their derivatives.
The amount of contraction of the planet derived from the distribution, lengths, and heights of lobate scarps (e.g., Strom et al. 1975; Byrne et al. 2014), on the other hand, places constraints on the minimum amount of volatiles in the core, as well as on the cooling rate of the planet since the late heavy bombardment (LHB; Hauck et al. 2004; Breuer et al. 2007; Grott et al. 2011; Tosi et al. 2013).

The radius of the inner core can thus be taken as roughly proportional to the amount of planetary contraction (Hauck et al. 2004; Breuer et al. 2007; Grott et al. 2011; Tosi et al. 2013).
Moreover, application of SB-431542 revealed that the high amount of spontaneous contraction of Dupuytren's fibroblasts, when embedded in a collagen lattice, was caused by overactive TGF-β-like signalling.
