Additional analysis was undertaken to determine how the quality of the underlying height metrics used in the three models deteriorated with declining pulse density.
It can however be accounted for in a bifactorial model with a declining discount rate.
A parabolic rectangular stress block for concrete is used in this model with a declining concrete strength at strains exceeding 0.0035.
About the medium-term evolution predicted by the models, we identified countries with declining consumption (the US, France, Germany and South Korea) and with increasing consumption (China, Russia, and Canada).
Yet reductions in costs have not kept pace with declining revenue, nor has a business model been identified for growth.
Past and present data were used to model the declining alkalinity production capabilities of slag with time.
None of this contradicts the proposition that SGA rates, which increase with advancing gestation under the fetuses-at-risk model, will decline with a left-shift in the gestational age distribution.
Various studies have indicated that the functional ability of HSC in the repopulation model significantly declines with an increasing donor age [ 30].
The model utilized a declining xylan hydrolysis rate constant with increasing conversion in combination with direct xylooligomer degradation.
Although the discrimination of the model was similar across the four validation sites and two validation periods, calibration of the model declined with time (data not shown in tables).
