Examples
-
Species are likely to affect nutrient availability and C cycling through differences in the turnover of elements in their living tissues and in the decomposability of their dead parts [70].
-
The other axioms with which the axiomatic analysis has been made usually have a less obvious ethical appeal, and relate to decomposability of indices, scale invariance and the like.
Economics and Economic Justice Fleurbaey, Marc 2008
-
This seems to raise the ethical stakes concerning properties of decomposability of indices or separability of social welfare functions, which are usually considered in economics merely as convenient conditions simplifying the functional forms

Chemistry neither asserts or denies the decomposability of the elements.

The former do not depend for their decomposability upon the nature of their elements only; for, of the same two elements, bodies may be formed, of which one shall belong to one class and another to the other class; but probably on the proportions also
Experimental Researches in Electricity, Volume 1 Michael Faraday 1829
-
They both unite with it in single proportional or equivalent quantities; and the number of proportionals appearing to have an intimate and important relation to the decomposability of a body (697.), those in muriatic acid, as well as in water, are the most favourable, or those perhaps even necessary, to decomposition.

-
These important differences induced me to look more closely to certain binary compounds, with a view of ascertaining whether a _law_ regulating the _decomposability_ according to some _relation of the proportionals or equivalents_ of the elements, could be discovered.
Experimental Researches in Electricity, Volume 1 Michael Faraday 1829
-
Such cases as the former where binary compounds of easy decomposability are acted upon, are perhaps the best to illustrate the theory.
