Increases in vagal activity to the SA node decreases the firing rate of the pacemaker cells by decreasing the slope of the pacemaker potential ( phase 4 of the action potential ); this decreases heart rate ( negative chronotropy ).

As the slope of the river channel decreases, it becomes unstable for two reasons.

If the validation error increases ( positive slope ) while the training error steadily decreases ( negative slope ) then a situation of overfitting may have occurred.

Not only is this bigger at the center than it is at the tails, but as one moves toward the center from either tail, the slope first increases and then decreases, just as with the bell-shaped curve.

As one moves down a ( standardly convex ) indifference curve, the marginal rate of substitution decreases ( as measured by the absolute value of the slope of the indifference curve, which decreases ).

Adaptation of step size allows one to avoid slope overload ( step of quantization increases when the signal rapidly changes ) and decreases granular noise when the signal is constant ( decrease of step of quantisation ).

To maintain a given mass of a vehicle, the area density would have to remain equal and this implies that the LOS-thickness would also have to remain constant while the slope increases, which again implies that the normal thickness decreases.

As slope on a hill increases, the gravitational force that is perpendicular to the slope decreases and results in less friction between the material that could cause the slope to slide.

The faulting decreases in the center of the range where the faults are mostly small normal faults, but increases once again on the western slope.

The general slope of the land decreases in height away from the Pennines, from east to west, but reaches high points of at Tandle Hill and at the summit of Oldham Edge, a ridge of elevated land which leads to Oldham.

* Sharp-cutoff (" high slope " or ordinary ) pentodes have the more ordinary uniform spacing of grid wires, and so mutual conductance decreases in an essentially uniform manner with increasing negative bias, and has a more abrupt cutoff.

The example Bode plot shows a slope of-20 dB / decade in the stopband, which means that for every factor-of-ten increase in frequency ( going from 10 rad / s to 100 rad / s in the figure ), the gain decreases by 20 dB.
