Usually, decay occurs most rapidly in warm, moist air, and away from direct sunlight.

A decay of fitness with respect to time may occur and can be formalized by:

The 5.27 year half life of the Co is long enough to allow it to settle out before significant decay has occurred.

This desertion and decay could, of course, have occurred at any period.

The visible portion usually forms after considerable decay has occurred beneath the bark.

Exponential decay occurs in the same way when the growth rate is negative.

It is just possible that such decays could occur without any neutrinos emerging from the reaction.

Exponential decay occurs in a wide variety of situations.

In addition, decay of the effect occurs swiftly and baseline expression levels are reached by 12-24 hours.

When water is not present to help hydrogen bond, then the very entropic decay can occur much easier.
