Dioxins are known to decrease bone strength, architecture and density.
Likewise, year-to-year autocorrelations in weather fluctuations are known to decrease extinction risk.
Control of blood glucose and other preventative measures are known to decrease this risk.
Conservative and depletive fluid management are known to decrease the duration of ventilator support [44] and weaning [12], respectively.
As a general rule, pressure increases are known to decrease the rate of thermal decomposition; however, other influences have been observed.
Pore-filling clay mineral cements, however, are known to decrease effective porosity and to reduce the reservoir permeability significantly (e.g. Worden and Morad 2003; Wilson et al. 2014).
AT III levels are known to decrease after recent or active thrombosis, surgical procedures, disseminated intravascular coagulation, or full-dose heparin administration.
Diffusion rates of gaseous products from thermal decomposition of solids are known to decrease with an increase in pressure (Oyumi and Brill 1987).
Liver and intestinal ATP and energy charge are known to decrease during hemorrhagic shock, and the ability to regenerate high-energy phosphates may have important implications for recovery.
Biomaterials made of biodegradable poly(α-hydroxyesters) such as poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) are known to decrease the pH in the vicinity of the implants.
In general, food processing methods such as heating are known to decrease the nutritional value of foods, although digestibility and the bioavailability of nutrients and nutraceuticals are increased [32].
