Examples of decay

• Floating in the dirty river were dead fish, already starting to decay.

• The bacteria live on food particles and produce acid that decays the enamel on your teeth.

• The flesh on a dead body decays very rapidly.

• It's sad to watch a beautiful rose wither and decay in such a short time.

• Plants and animals decay into the soil, replenishing the minerals and nutrients.

• Many children come to us with severe dental decay.

• Unemployment and inner city decay are inseparable issues which must be tackled together.

• Sugar is a major cause of tooth decay.

• The mansion had an atmosphere of genteel elegance and decay.

• Areas of the most serious urban decay are to receive funds for new building and redevelopment schemes.

• Conversely, no scattered particles exist at early times, and instead the scattered distribution grows from zero as the unscattered streaming distribution decays.

• The case where a lower-hybrid pump wave decays into daughter and ion-cyclotron waves in a plasma with ion-temperature anisotropy is considered.

• Ideally there should be eight perceivable repetitions (decaying away) which would be an octave transposition (8 6 3/4 tone) in all.

• Assume that we take initial conditions so that this magnitude decays.

• The monastic community itself had decayed because no ordination had taken place for a considerable time.

• Regressing to models of decaying exponentials led to improved quality in the synthesis of several of the percussive tracks.

• Such regions and waves cannot exist in isotropic plasmas, where the wave is a superposition only of oscillating or of exponentially decaying partial waves.

• The reverse is true for wall pressure, which decays less rapidly in continuum flow.

• At marginal instability, the real part of only one eigenvalue changes sign from negative (decaying disturbance) t o positive (growing disturbance).

• Indeed, it seems that it is this lacunarity what makes possible certain properties such as decays of correlations and the central limit theorem.

• If one adds a damping term, the oscillation decays.

• Diaspores are gravity dispersed and the seed coat rapidly decays, exposing cotyledons to the immediate environment prior to germination.

• Seeds were either already decayed or were in the process of decaying.

• Manly independence decayed as the individual allowed his body to be built up by such "external" forces of the "non-ego" (1904 247).

• Many of these were envisioned as artistic undertakings that would ameliorate the urban environment, such as improving water supplies or cleaning up decayed neighborhoods.
