Those higher in the scale donate electrons to their fellows lower down, which have a lesser tendency to donate, but a correspondingly greater tendency to accept, electrons.
Because of the increased specific volume of rubidium, as compared with the lighter alkali metals, there is a lesser tendency for it to form alloy systems with other metals.
Because of the increased specific volume of cesium, as compared with the lighter alkali metals, there is a lesser tendency for it to form alloy systems with other metals.
NR gels show comparatively lesser tendency to agglomerate at higher loading (Fig. 5c).
Comparison of simultaneous IPNs with sequential IPNs showed that the latter show a lesser tendency to phase separation in the systems studied.
The reactivity ratios for ethylene/norbornene copolymerization suggest that these precatalysts show lesser tendency towards norbornene homopropagation in the copolymerization reactions.
The jet fish pump (JFP), a special utilization of annular jet pump, is a potential tool for conveying fish in the aquatic industry because of its simple structure and lesser tendency toward mechanical injury.
Stands with E. regnans had a lesser tendency towards multi-cohortness than stands lacking this species, although most old-growth stands, including those dominated by E. regnans, were multi-cohort.
Compared to PKM2WT, PKM2K305Q was less stable in the absence (Tm: ~44°C) and presence (Tm: ~54°C) of FBP, which is consistent with its lesser tendency toward tetramer formation and lower enzymatic activity.
Several possible advantages of DHS use in the remediation of subsurface media contaminated with HOC are described, including the ability of DHS to solubilize HOC irrespective of the DHS concentration, and potential lesser tendency of DHS to depress the interfacial tension between non-aqueous phases and water relative to surfactants (an advantage when mobilization is undesired).
