Sentence examples for decrease rod from inspiring English sources
The rate of increase (RoI) and Rate of decrease (RoD) are calculated as the ratio between the difference in EVI at 20 and 80% levels of the left (RoI) and right (RoD) side of the peak and the corresponding difference in time in absolute values.
