Data was analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) using SPSS (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).
The development of a heterogeneous film structure featuring discontinuities along the polymer matrix caused the reduction of the tensile strength of the poly(lactic acid) films containing essential oil [10].
Essential oil can act as a plasticizer causing a reduction in the intermolecular forces along the polymer chains, which is stronger than the interaction between polar essential oil molecule and polar polymer molecule [11].

Comparing, the pattern of ZnSb2O6 with standard data wherein all the planes were at the same 2θ position except the major dominant peak (110) which had a small shift towards higher angles.
In comparison, the reduction potential changes dramatically while increasing scan rates in the absence of nafion while in its presence the CV curves are electrochemically stable even at higher scan rates that proves the fact that nafion acts as a good binding agent that holds the nanomaterial from decomposition into the electrolyte both mechanically and electrochemically.
Even at same scan rate in the absence of nafion the reduction potential trend is not similar there is huge difference between each cycles (indicated by double ended red arrows) which also proves that the charge transfer process is not complete and also the known fact is that nafion serves as a bridge for complete charge transfer process between electrode and electrolyte that is the case shown in Fig. 2 (d).

Concrete strain was measured by a strain gauge that was attached to the concrete in the center of the beam and connected to a static strain meter (Data Logger TDS-530).
RCB2,whose lower part was reinforced by wire, reached the primary ultimate strength and then experienced load reduction before the secondary strength increase curve occurred.
When the SMA was heated after the HIRCGN test piece was completely fractured, the maximum crack width decreased to 9.3 mm, which was a 46.2-89.3% higher crack width reduction compared to that in the other test pieces.

The inverse procedure developed by Novák and Lehký [6] transforms fracture test response data into the desired mechanical fracture parameters.
From the above-mentioned outputs and evaluations of real and simulated tests, the following can be concluded: 1) The refinement of the precursor resulted in a significant reduction in compressive and tensile strengths, a slight reduction in fracture toughness, and a more than twofold increase in characteristic length.

As can be seen, the silicon film induces a strong reduction of the wafer curvature, so that we could obtain a nominally flat wafer using a ~6.5 μm thick silicon film.
Fig. 3 Theoretical model of the radius of curvature for the Si/3C-SiC/Si hetero-structure and experimental data (stars).
Also, from the theoretical model was found that the silicon film induces a strong reduction of the wafer curvature, showing that a nominally flat wafer using a ~6.5 μm thick silicon film is possible to obtain.

Copper facilitated the reduction of nickel oxide, and prevented the methanization reaction that resulted in higher HDO activity of bimetallic than monometallic [6, 9].
Additional transition metals (Fe, Co or Ni) generated more active (acid) sites for oxygen elimination via dehydration while noble metal (Pd or Pt) facilitated the reduction of Co, Ni and Fe in the bimetallic catalysts [12, 13].
In this study, a Langmuir–Hinshelwood model was found to fit the kinetic data of furfural deoxygenation.

First, the Cu2+ concentration in the bath increased, promoting the oxidation-reduction reaction forward; on the other hand, the excessive salt reduced the complexing agent molar ratio, reducing the stability of the electroless plating solution, electroless more difficult.
The result of data fitting indicated that its slope was 0.401, so corresponding kinetic parameters α was 0.401Compared to the actual deposition rate and the theoretical deposition rate under the conditions of the different levels of orthogonal experiment.

The peak positions show good agreement to the standard data for Fe3O4 structure (JCPDS card file No. 3-863).

Introduction Pests are formidable enemy of crop’s growth and would cause great reduction to crop output throughout their growing period.
Therefore, the quality reduction, to some extent, would be resulted in the received images.
Hence, it is of great practical value and necessity to construct a standard dataset of pest images, so as to provide data support for the recognition of pest images.

One of those reactions that should happen is adherence between the surface of the diamond and the metallic matrix that it surrounds, so that happens will depend on some factors as: composition of the metallic powders, size and distribution of the same ones, existence of the oxidation and reduction of gases, duration of the process and thermal processes [6].
It is also the increment of time during the high pressures to obtain larger hardness can implicate in reduction of the sensibility of the material [9].
Hard granite was installed horizontally on the table of a Physical simulator interfaced with computer type AMSLER modified microprocessor model AB800-E, manufactured by Contenco, using the software Pavitest – Abrasion Tester 2:31, to obtain the data.
