"before decomposition" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It can be used to refer to a time or event that occurred before something was broken down or analyzed into smaller parts or elements. Example: "Before decomposition, the scientists were unable to fully understand the complex chemical structure of the new compound."
Submerged in such an oxygen-poor environment, some of the animal's tissues petrified before decomposition set in.
The circumstances of her death — just the right preservative chemistry in the muck she fell into, subsequent enclosure in permafrost — combined with the lucky fact that Khudi happened upon her before decomposition had begun, made her the best-preserved mammoth ever discovered.
In DSC, no glass transition could be detected before decomposition.
In this method, a Gaussian white noise is added before decomposition to minimise the effects of mode mixing in the EMD process.
Upon reduction in dilute hydrogen gas, the nanocrystallite grain morphology is observed hosting a sequence of shear defects, nucleation and growth of reduced molybdenum oxide phases within the MoO3 matrix before decomposition of the film.
It is noteworthy that both H-ZIF-67 and T-ZIF-67 went through a slight mass loss before decomposition, while M-ZIF-67 was stable below 500 °C.
But the researchers noticed that ants would haul a corpse away within an hour after death — before much decomposition began.
However, no reaction occurs between the benzoxazine and 2,6-xylenol before the decomposition of the benzoxazine structure.
That is, if (and only if) we are not interested in low frequencies in further analysis, we may benefit from removing them before ICA decomposition.
The weight loss before the decomposition was attributed to the release of the moisture adsorbed because the (co polymers of HEA and/or MBA have good water absorption.
As shown in Fig. 1d, before the decomposition, continuous weight loss corresponds to the loss of coordinated solvent or the free H2O molecules.
