The phrase "ascending function" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in mathematics to describe a function that increases in value as the input increases.
Example: "In calculus, we often analyze the properties of an ascending function to understand its behavior over a given interval."
Alternatives: "increasing function" or "monotonically increasing function".
The inspiratory increase in venous return described above can only occur if the heart is functioning on the ascending part of the cardiac function curve.
If the venous return curve intersects the ascending part of the cardiac function curve, cardiac output will fall and the CVP will rise with the positive pleural pressure.
If stroke volume increases ≥10% the patient is regarded as being on the ascending part of the cardiac function curve (Fig. 1) and then the fluid challenge is repeated until the ceiling of the cardiac function curve is reached.
This would indicate that patients whose CVP falls with a negative-pressure breath should always have a fall in cardiac output when positive pleural pressure is applied because they should be operating on the ascending part of the cardiac function curve.
If the venous return curve intersects the ascending part of the cardiac function curve, CVP falls during inspiration relative to atmospheric pressure and output from the right heart transiently increases because the heart is effectively lowered relative to the venous reservoir, which allows more blood to come back to the heart.
A logistic function fitted properly the ascending part of the D/R curve of P (from 0.0003 to 0.3 ng/s).
An ascending linear function was observed for the school meal services' general adequacy percentage over time.
As a conclusion, r k (p∖k) is an ascending best response function.
Potential mechanisms underlying the higher prevalence of histological chorioamnionitis in this study include ascending infection, immune function, malnutrition and systemic disadvantage.
