(1) The S-N curve for a pure metal will be a monotonic function with N increasing as stress decreases.(2) The number above each segment gives the rank of the absolute value of the monotonic increase or decrease.(3) The logarithm is only one of many nonlinear but monotonic functions that can be applied to measurements prior to analysis.(4) What leads us astray is the assumption that interval calculations can be based on end points alone, which is true only for monotonic functions.(5) In contrast to an undiluted probe surface, the hybridization signals exhibited a tendency of monotonic decrease with increasing ionic strength.(6) We are interested in testing the hypothesis of a relatively recent population expansion; thus we limited our investigation to the time interval where monotonicity applies.(7) For a lethal recessive allele, mean frequency monotonically decreases as population size decreases.(8) The significance of monotonicity is that simple linear models are able to capture interaction effects and nonlinear effects amazingly well.(9) In short, in ceasing to be homogenous, they cannot escape their own monotonicity .(10) Hypercapnia increased pulmonary ventilation monotonically , with the average value rising to 181% of baseline at 12% CO2.(11) Knowing some of their properties, such as monotonicity , is often sufficient to constrain the behavior of the variables.(12) The equilibrium constant decreases monotonically approximately fourfold when the salt concentration is increased from 0.15 to 0.25 M.(13) This takes advantage of the better asymptotic properties of the difference in the log variances, as well as of the monotonicity of the transformation.(14) Although there was a trend that the time period until reoccupation differs between territory types, the average values did not tend to change monotonically with territory quality.(15) No such phenomena have been reported in larger organisms, and the traditional theories for bacterial motion predict that the swimming speed monotonically decreases with viscosity.
