The phrase "and a limited decrease" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a reduction that is not extensive or significant in nature.
Example: "The report indicated an increase in sales, along with a limited decrease in operational costs."
Alternatives: "and a slight reduction" or "and a minor decrease".
Following transfection with a non-targeting siRNA control, 500 nM PPP treatment for 48 h caused cell viability of the parental cell lines Line2 and Line3 to decrease by 45% and 55%, BE and MCF7 by 34% and 40%, respectively whereas, as expected, a limited decrease of only 10% was observed with Line2-T500 and Line3-Table(Table 4).
Another strong point is that we did not use only one cut-off of -3 ml/min/year but rather analysed the relationship between the eGFR slope and mortality using 2 additional cut-offs (-5 and -1 ml/min year), allowing us to differentiate a limited decrease from larger decrease in the eGFR.
Regional urban land demands are based on: 1) recent Europop 2010 population projections [35]; 2) an assumed Europe-wide convergence of average household sizes on the very long run (i.e., to 1.8 in all regions by 2100, so that in most regions a limited decrease in household size is modelled by 2030); and 3) extrapolated historical trends of regional urban land consumption per household.
A limited decrease of white matter volume was observed in 4-month-old SHR.
Under the electric field, it exhibits a limited decrease, but more anisotropy of the translational diffusion of the nanorod.
We demonstrate that specific milled nanostructures can increase the total current through the system at expenses of a limited decrease of cross section.
A limited decrease (up to 25%) of the CO2 permeability was observed from dry state to fully humidified conditions, suggesting that the membrane contactor can be operated with humid flue gas to prevent solvent dehydration.
Secondly, non-spectroscopic interferences, which may severely disturb the analysis of matrices containing large amounts of non-target elements, were significantly reduced by a limited decrease in the flow rate of the optimum initial nebuliser rather than with a specific time-consuming dilution.
Similarly, a limited decrease in the transcript level of Cldn11 (Figure 5A) was seen over the entire period studied.
All three patients had a limited decrease in plasma HIV-1 RNA, without a decrease below the detection threshold of 50 copies/mL.
