The phrase "amount of decay" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the extent or degree of deterioration or decline in various contexts, such as science, art, or general observations.
Example: "The archaeologists measured the amount of decay in the ancient artifacts to assess their preservation state."
Alternatives: "degree of decay" or "level of decay".
CANTINA Jason Neroni, formerly of Porchetta in Brooklyn, is the consultant for this tiny new bar and restaurant designed to suggest old Havana with the proper amount of decay.
Dibley star Dawn French said that since the characters' last outing the "amount of decay" had been "alarming".
It seemed to be sensitive enough to measure the exact amount of decay that occurs on an hourly basis and that amounts to a molecular clock for dating proteinaceous materials like silk.
From the steady state experiments it is concluded that the SGDHR system in PFBR is capable of removing the intended amount of decay heat from the hot sodium pool of the reactor.
Traditional radiocarbon dating would only be able to pick up an "imperceptible amount of decay" added Dr Uno, but because the bomb spike doubled the concentration or carbon, they were able to find huge variations over the last 60 years, which enabled accurate dating.
Radiometric dating estimates the age of a rock at the time that it crystallized, by comparing the amount of "daughter" decay product to the original amount of the radioactive "mother" isotope (calculated as the amount of decay product plus what remains of the mother isotope).
Crude oil also may contain a small amount of decay-resistant organic remains, such as siliceous skeletal fragments, wood, spores, resins, coal, and various other remnants of former life.
68Ga also emits prompt gamma photons of 1077 keV in addition to positrons in a small amount of decays (≈1.2%), therefore potentially contaminating emission data when Compton-scattered prompt gamma photons are detected in coincidence with annihilation photons [19].
While more distant contexts are protected from both the formation and decay of memory, intermediate contexts may be subject to small amounts of decay.
They had over three times the amount of untreated decay, with a mean decay score of 1.37 (CI: 0.98, 1.77), compared to 0.37 (CI: 0.29, 0.45) among their counterparts.
In addition, they had nearly three times the amount of untreated decay, with a mean decay score of 1.18 (CI: 0.79, 1.56), compared to 0.42 (CI: 0.33, 0.51) among their counterparts.
