An increase in macropore tortuosity progressively increased the breakthrough time, increased the apparent retardation coefficient (R′), decreased the depth to the center of mass of a given adsorbed tracer, and increased the anisotropy in tracer distribution profile.
The results showed that increasing the upward flux from a basin increased the salt concentration and mass loading of salt to streams, and decreased the depth to the transition of fresh/salt groundwater.
In the first proposed architecture, our goals are to decrease the depth of the circuit and to increase the speed of the circuit.
In this case, the aluminum ring was cut in half to decrease the depth of the sample and allow the whole mount to fit into a typical SIMS sample holder.
Decrease the depth of field which will allow you to focus on the subject of your photo.
Therefore, in addition to decreasing the depth of focus, we chose to process the wavefront sensor images in a way that reduced the impact of asymmetries in each spot image on the aberration estimate.
The results showed that a suitable level of foundation is able to decrease the scour depth and increase scour time during the flood events.
In such a case we have to increase the length of the hexagon to 6 as well as decreasing its depth to 2. The new hexagon is shown in Figure 14.
Along much of the length of this fault, the metamorphic rocks in the hanging wall (located above the fault) display a pattern of inverted isograds; i.e., the rocks that reached the highest temperatures of metamorphism overlie rocks that record lower temperatures, implying that metamorphic temperatures decreased with depth to the fault.
These results suggest that even though abundance of Mega- and Macrofauna decreases exponentially with depth, a large number of species can be found at great depths, while the abundance of nematodes decreases with depth to a lesser extent, but this is associated with a stronger reduction in species richness.
