Diagnosis method was a highly significant predictor of the prevalence of leishmaniasis indicating that this variable explains a substantial portion of the variability between studies.

Although a clear trend in reduction in ground vibration was not observed in the transverse direction, the RMS of ground acceleration has been reduced by 52 %, 53.5 % and 20 % for trench widths of 30 cm, 60 cm and 90 cm, respectively. 3.3 Effect of depth of trench filled with coal bottom ash Figs. 11 , 12 , and 13 compare the wave form at L1 (in front of the coal bottom ash in-filled trench) and L2 (behind the coal bottom ash in-filled trench) for trenches with depths of 50 cm, 75 cm and 100 cm, respectively.

Comparison of neuronal cell proliferation between 48 and 72 hours incubation showed a trend of increasing proliferation in each group ( Fig. 5 B).

France, highly relying on nuclear power, shows an increasing trend of TPES/FEC ratio (from 1.3 to 1.6), which means that the efficiency of the energy transformation system is decreasing.

In practice, all EU-28 countries show a decreasing trend of energy intensity (FEC/GDP), the major difference is in the rate and starting time of the decrease.

It is observed that the oxygen distribution at the beginning of the path has the highest value and goes through a decreasing trend along flow channel due to participation in the chemical reaction and consumption.

While before 1980, recycling and incineration were almost insignificant.

All air pollutants (CO, O 3 , SO 2 , NO, NO 2 and NO x ) showed a decreasing trend, except for PM 10 , which showed an increasing trend of 0.24 μg m −3 per year.

Moreover, the percentage weight loss of all treatments showed an increasing trend with the advancement of the storage period irrespective of treatments and the maximum weight loss was recorded on the last day of storage.

Increasing the maximum amplification by enhancing shape ratio has an increasing trend and direct relationship with each other.

The reduction in the tumor burden between the 600 mg/kg group and the control group was marginally significant, which was probably due to small numbers in this treatment group because of death prior to treatment and the large variation in tumor size observed in the control group.

Indeed, in clinical settings, more self-focused, less cohesive and reflective narratives may be significant predictors of post-traumatic symptoms' severity and useful indicators of prognosis for children too ( O'Kearney and Perrott, 2006 ; Miragoli et al., 2014 , 2017 ).

P < 0.05 means significant, and P < 0.01 means extremely significant.

3 , coagulation activity shows an increasing trend with the rising density values of coagulant extract.

A highly significant biosorption of Cr(VI) by the inactive biomass can be observed at the start of the assay, configuring a predominance of rapid physical and chemical bonding between the metal and the biomass, generating strong links and reducing the probability of desorption of the metal adhered to the biomass.

An increasing trend was observed for government health expenditure year by year.

Our findings also show a decreasing trend of medical doctor ratio yearly.

5 displayed an increasing trend.
