Sentences with phrase «decrease decay rates»

Now he had an important additional piece of information: Proximity to the sun seemed to influence radioactivity, and violent activity on the sun could also increase or decrease decay rates.

Not exact matches

The idea is that while the or - ganism was alive it had a known amount of each type of carbon, but that once it has died, the amount of one type of carbon decreases at a known rate through a process of radioactive decay.

Each radioactive element decays exponentially, decreasing over time (t) at a rate proportional to the number of atoms there are (N).

As the vibrational amplitude decreases, the rate suddenly changes and the modes become decoupled, resulting in comparatively low decay rates, thus in very giant quality factors exceeding 1 million.

cardiomyocytes exhibit decreased peak shortening and maximal velocity of shortening / relengthening, prolonged time - to - 90 % relengthening, reduced intracellular calcium release upon electrical stimulus associated with a slowed intracellular calcium decay rate, and significantly higher oxygen levelse, and significantly higher oxygen levels

In the real world, things are more complicated, as indeed some inflows are increasing or decreasing, due to the increase in the atmosphere, but the main point is that decay rate and exchange rate have nothing to do with each other, and that the 14C tracer shows more the exchange rate than the decay rate.

C (or methane hydrates / clathrates, in case that isn't considered geologic)-RRB-, Halting all marine photosynthesis and letting respiration / decay continue at the same rate (it would actually decay over time as less organic C would be available) would result in an O2 decrease at a rate of about 0.011 % per year, but it could only fall at that rate for about 3 weeks, with a total O2 decrease of about 0.000675 % (relative to total O2, and not counting organic C burial, which wouldn't make a big difference); Halting all land photosynthesis and letting respirationd / decay proceed at the same rate would cause O2 to fall about 0.027 % per year for about 19 years, with a total drop of about 0.52 %.

You said, «Halting all marine photosynthesis and letting respiration / decay continue at the same rate (it would actually decay over time as less organic C would be available) would result in an O2 decrease at a rate of about 0.011 % per year, but it could only fall at that rate for about 3 weeks, with a total O2 decrease of about 0.000675 %»
