As a result, it was found that the initial drop, gradual increase, convex type decline and concave type decline in the performance evolutions were mainly controlled by Rct, Rsf, pulverization, and internal stress, respectively.
This drop is gradual in pyrimidine network.
With a distribution of lags, the drop is gradual, as shown by the thick gray line in Fig. 4 for which a uniform distribution of lags from 0 to 0.5 yr has been assumed arbitrarily.
The second part which occurs for a longer time accounts for the pressure drop during the gradual removal of the thin layer of oil at the top section of the pipe; the shear velocity of the oil drops gradually.
Over the time period of 60 minutes, due to the active control of body temperature by the feedback loop, the temperature was changed from 37 °C, gradually raised to 39.5 °C followed by a gradual drop to 32 °C, and then returned back to the 37.6 °C which was the target temperature for normal physiological condition.

Lipid was defined as a signal-poor region within a plaque, with poorly delineated borders and a fast drop-off in OCT signal, whereas calcium was defined as a signal-poor region, but with sharply delineated borders and a gradual drop-off in OCT signal.
Residual strength measured after impact fatigued showed retention of the property at high impact energy levels, up to about 102 impact cycles, thereafter a gradual drop to about 103 impact cycles followed by a rapid drop.
"The last recession, you had a gradual drop in business," Mr. Palmer said.
