Although many of the ceratopsian bones were fractured syndepositionally, the high clay content and decreased permeability of the matrix may have acted as an extra barrier, decreasing available oxygen, groundwater flow, and ultimately retarding microbial action.
The additional H+ outflow required for maintenance of the intracellular pH in the presence of weak acids dissipates extra ATP, decreasing cytosolic ATP pool.
The heat discharged after solidification of the supercooled SAT with extra water decreased over repeating charge and discharge cycles while the heat discharged from the SAT with Xanthan rubber remained stable.
If the value of extra lives decreases asymptotically, then there may exist an upper limit to the total value of a population (exactly as the sum of the infinite series 1+1/2+1/4+ … has the upper limit 2).
A new systematic review and meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American Medical Association JAMAA) concluded that carrying extra weight decreases the risk of death (those in the "overweight" category were 6percentt less likely to die than individuals at a "normal weight").
Both 'input-variables' may experience diminishing returns: at a certain point the marginal benefit (lower mortality) of an extra nurse decreases.
When both costs and effects are discounted at 3%, the average extra LYG decreases to 5.5; and the average incremental cost per additional LYG (i.e. ICER) increases to US$325.
In the beginning of 2006, much more consumers than usual telephoned their health plan for extra information decreasing the access of the call centre and making it more difficult for health-plan employees to provide the needed help.
