The phrase "decline the efficiency" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It may be intended to express a reduction or decrease in efficiency, but the wording is awkward.
Example: "The recent changes in the workflow have led us to decline the efficiency we previously enjoyed."
Alternatives: "reduce the efficiency" or "diminish the efficiency."
The processing speed theory of cognitive ageing posits that a decline in the efficiency with which simple mental operations can be correctly completed is fundamental to ageing-related declines in higher cognitive functions [1].
This includes a decline in the efficiency of the mitochondria, the energy storehouses of living cells, as well as damage from oxidative stress, the result of oxygen-containing molecules that are produced during cell metabolism.
Over the years, however, the greater cost of polling by cell phone and a steady decline in the efficiency of the sampling process have combined to make traditional RDD methods significantly more expensive.
The leukocyte migration to lung tissue is a common manifestation of respiratory tract inflammation, which entails a decline in the efficiency of both lung ventilation and aerobic performance [31], [32].
This indicates that the focus of accumulation is at the interface of the RPE with the photoreceptor outer segment tip, implying that this accumulation of debris is in some way related to a decline in the efficiency of the RPE phagocytotic process [34], [35].
Collectively, these observations indicate a dose-dependent decline in the efficiency of synaptic transmission at this first synaptic junction into the hippocampal formation.
Aging can generally be defined as a progressive decline in the efficiency of biochemical and physiological processes after the reproduction phase of life.
The cause of this age-dependent decline in the efficiency of engraftment is not clear, but it is possible that trophic factors are optimally expressed in the early neonatal stage (Gimeno et al., 2004; Legrand et al., 2006).
An association between rising age and vitamin D deficiency was the expected; it is biologically plausible due to a decline in the efficiency of cutaneous vitamin D synthesis with increasing age [ 1, 39].
Although the somatic pattern of H3K27me3 needs to be erased during the iPSC reprogramming, global loss of H3K27me3 through down-regulation of Eed (resulting in loss of all PRC2 complexes) leads to a severe decline in the efficiency of iPSC reprogramming (Fragola et al, 2013); thus, silencing through H3K27me3 appears indispensable for the establishment of iPSCs (Fragola et al, 2013).
