Excerpts

The individual ESV function (ESV f ) results showed a decreasing trend for each period study.

• With an increase in plastic films, the overall microbial diversity showed a decreasing trend. • Plastic film residues are an important factor to reduce soil microbial community diversity in cotton fields.

The results demonstrated a clear trend that the groups with more prior surgical experience had shorter dwell times during the simulated operation.

Despite the positive results, the hybrid membrane-ionic liquid showed a trend of mass losses at temperatures slightly below the temperature of decomposition (Td).

From the results, the regression model found to be highly significant with the R 2 value of solubility of phosphate and IAA production was 0.9677, and 0.9705, respectively; indicating that the model fitted the experimental data well and the experimental error was small.

The results of ANOVA for both COD and BOD 5 showed a highly significant difference between FS and the treatment concentrations at a p -value of 0.0001.

The effect of 5-Aza-dC and culture surface on ALP activity On day 5, monolayer cells cultured on a glass surface showed a trend of higher ALP staining intensity ( Figure 2 A).

Figure 16 A to D shows the detailed antioxidant properties of Cleistanthus collinus plant extracted AgNPs, where DPPH radical scavenging activity displays an increasing trend with the increase in AgNP concentration.

Table 4 shows that the F value of both L and S is greater than the critical value F 0.01 , the F value of A is between F 0.01 and F 0.05 , and the temperature distribution inside heat exchanger can be obviously enhanced by them, which demonstrates that L , S and A are also the highly significant influencing factor of the temperature uniformity.

In contrast, the strongest Pb–Cu (r = 0.994) and moderately significant associations exist between the levels of Cr–Pb (r = 0.53) and Cr–Cu (r = 0.44) in the tissue samples analysed.

In another study done by Shaker [ 60 ] on sheep-fed salt-tolerant fodder, an increasing trend was observed when high saltwater was offered.

In particular, the effect of the EFP is highly significant from the 10 th quantile to the 90 th quantile which suggests a strong association between EFP and health quality, hence, serious efforts towards improving the EFP in the region are required to reverse the tides.

Nine M-QTLs were created from forty QTLs relevant to zinc content observed in four investigations [ 12 , 64 ] Two of the nine were found in two genomic areas on chromosome 2, one of which may be significant for kernel Zn.

The estimated coefficient for “ Agreement Exists ” was highly significant and negative in both specifications across the different types of EIAs.

Research implications indicate how the findings may be significant for faculties, instructional designers and internal auditing committees in higher education institutions.

found that D-dimer level was the only marginally significant risk factor associated with VTE development (hazard ratio = 1.32, 95% CI: 1.00–1.75), suggesting that D-dimer could be used as a predictive marker for VTE development in patients with advanced gastric cancer [ 30 ].

Abstract Background There is an increasing trend of Metabolic syndrome (MetS) prevalence, which has been considered as an important contributor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancers and diabetes.

We also demonstrated that there was a 1.4% higher probability of MetS for each 1-cm increase of height (OR, 1.01; 95% CI, 1.00–1.03; P = 0.0536) in the multivariable logistic regression model, though the effect was marginally significant.

There was a continuous decline in woodland (29.38%) and riparian vegetation (47.11%) and an increasing trend in shrub bush land (35.28%), grassland (43.47%), bare land (27.52%), and cultivated land (118.36 km 2 ) over the thirty-year period.

P < 0.001 was considered to be of extremely significant statistical significance. 3.

The components of the water balance, such as surface runoff, lateral flow, evapotranspiration, and water yield, still showed an increasing trend.

The other land use and land cover classes show a decreasing trend in the last two decades, as shown in Table 6 and Figure 4 . 4.2.

When setting a more significant level of significance of α = 0.01, DRIVE has four indicators that are highly significant and CHASE_DB1 has five indicators that are significant.

So, this way of learning may become an increasing trend in future curricula, even beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

Where a is the slope of the linear model, where a <0 indicates a decreasing trend and a >0 indicates an increasing trend.
