Ground motion duration affects the collapse capacity of highly deteriorating (non-ductile) and less deteriorating (ductile) concrete structures.
In single-layer structures, e.g., plasmonic silver lenses [28, 29], such fabrication inaccuracies should less deteriorate performance than in the case of metal-dielectric-layered flat lenses [30 32].
However, by May 31, increased wind shear and less inflow deteriorated the definition of the circulation, causing the storm to weaken.
As they retreated upstage along a diagonal, the light on them became smaller, hemming them in, and their speech became less precise, deteriorating into monosyllables, then grunts and lesser aspirations, until they arrived in the corner.
If, as we propose, the elevated BOLD signals during the high WM load (2B) task are interpreted as a manifestation of the participants' brains allocating more resources to the execution of the task, then the less negative BOLD-to-correctness relationship in musicians than non-musicians indicates that as a consequence of their efforts, musicians' performance deteriorated less.
From 1992 until the crisis hit, the government had run a primary budget surplus (before taking debt servicing into account), and Italy's public finances deteriorated less than those of most other euro-zone countries, thanks to big reductions in the budget deficit.
In a study in which the driver's preview difference (i.e., distance to the preceding truck) was varied, Damveld and Happee [5] found that with a shorter preview distance (i.e., 15 m or less), drivers experienced deteriorated lateral performance and increased steering activity.
In the epalrestat group, nerve function deteriorated less or improved in patients whose symptoms improved.
As a result, HCW quality of life deteriorated less, because the period of waiting for the detection tests to confirm or refute transmission was shorter.
Behavior deteriorated less for donepezil compared with galantamine (P = 0.003); data were insufficient to indirectly compare donepezil with rivastigmine or galantamine with rivastigmine.
