After transition (i.e. deletion of the focus flow) the cross-flow was reduced within 10 min to 0.1 ml min−1 (power gradient of 0.2), followed by a linear decline during 10 min until the separation force reached zero.
Once clinically manifest, renal disease in MMA patients has a relentless progression to kidney failure as is illustrated by the linear decline of eGFR in the patient population, with a faster rate of decline apparent in those with more severe metabolic parameters.
About one-half of total deaths have causes with similar shapes for the age-specific acceleration of mortality: a steady rise in acceleration from midlife until a well-defined peak at 80 years, followed by a nearly linear decline in acceleration.
Notably, the absolute population of children and adolescents showed a linear decline by 6.3% between 2008 and 2013.
In both preparations, Ca2+ removal induced a biphasic force decay described by an initial slow, seemingly linear decline with a rate constant, kLIN, lasting for a duration, tLIN, followed by a rapid exponential decay with a rate constant kREL.
Generally, disease progression in people with diabetes has been described as following a broadly linear decline, being influenced by blood pressure and albuminuria and ameliorated by antihypertensive medication/RAAS blockade [ 42, 44, 45].
Infection clearance rate during drug treatment was calculated by fitting the slope of the linear decline in parasite density over time (on a natural log scale) during the period of drug treatment (day 6 11 PI) (Stepniewska et al. 2010; Flegg et al. 2011; White 2011).
Consistent with some [19], [20], [44], [45] but not all [21], [46] previous studies, this decline was better fitted by an exponential (R squared = 0.98) than a linear decline (R squared = 0.79).
With further increases in leaf temperature, there was a linear decline in rates such that at 45 °C, net photosynthesis was reduced by 30%%.
There was a linear decline in GRper with slope.
