When r k ≠ 0, b k controls the growth or decline speed of this epoch: (1) if b k = 1, the epoch is of exponential growth (r k > 0 ) or decline (r k < 0 ) with rate r k ; (2) if b k > 1, the epoch is of faster-than-exponential (super-exponential) growth (r k > 0 ) or decline (r k < 0 ); (3) if b k < 1, the epoch is of slower-than-exponential (sub-exponential) growth (r k > 0 ) or decline (r k < 0 ).
Opponents can only take advantage of Ms Williams' declining foot speed if they manage to return her serve.
Stage V: Almost normal movement but declining movement speed.
Declining gait speed is common in the elderly population and is associated with age-related conditions.
Faster individual reaction was observed during a higher EEG-vigilance level (stage A), whereas a declining response speed was detected for lower states of EEG-vigilance (stage B).
And with so swift a decline, speed is of the essence, not least because America has far fewer "automatic stabilisers" than other rich countries with which to cushion a recession.Thanks to the changing nature of America's workforce, unemployment insurance offers less of a prop to demand than it used to.
However, there is some good news for the industry, as its decline speeds decommissioning, the process of dismantling aging oil platforms.
The combined result of the two big parties was the worst in a western state in nearly 60 years, continuing a decline speeded up by their awkward power-sharing at federal level.
Once a sufficient number of cells has been activated, cell death is the dominant factor and the rate of cell decline speeds up.
All the individuals measured showed behavioral signs of exhaustion at the end of exercise (loss of coordination, failure to maintain speed, stable or declining metabolic rate despite speed increases) but none were injured.
