This can often help by allowing the response of the system to naturally decay before the end of the sample period.

这通常有助于允许系统的响应在采样周期结束之前自然衰减到零。

The leakage current will decay exponentially with time, so it's usually necessary to apply the voltage for a known period (the "soak" time) before measuring the current.

泄漏电流随时间呈指数衰减，所以通常需要在一个已知的时间期间内施加电压(浸润时间)，然后再测量电流。

Most of the Ice Age spans a period of time for which no element has as appropriate decay rate.

冰川期中的绝大部分所跨越的是这样一个时期，对于这一时期，没有任何元素能拥有一种恰如其分的衰变率。

If the cooling system were to lose power during the initial decay period of 24 to 48 hours, a meltdown would likely follow.

They are almost reduced to the plan, but, through the remains of towns, of canals and roads, it is possible to observe the evolution of this interaction of cultures stage by stage, from the very beginning to the period of final decay, when the Eurasian route lost its importance and the towns their economical role.

What if actual result of decay would not follow the sequence of 50% remaining rule in which it would take a shorter period to become inactive in decay instead of that 5730 years, using 5730 years as a base to presume that the decay would last in every half year would simply falsify the age that would be computed through radioactive dating method.
