Value of Chi square was highly significant for log likelihood function and coefficients of all explanatory variables were significantly differed from zero.

NH 4 + -N first showed an increasing trend followed by a rapidly decreasing pattern, and NO 3 − -N rapidly increased in the later composting stage ( Figure 5 e,f).

By analyzing the equation between the genetic toxicity and the parameters of FQs, it can be seen that the coefficients before TE, EG, Q YY , Q ZZ , Q XZ , Q YZ , CT, GE, log P , HL, and Mol Wt were all positive, indicating that they had positive effects on the genetic toxicity of FQs; that is, the genotoxicity of FQs showed an increasing trend with increasing TE, EG, Q YY , Q ZZ , Q XZ , Q YZ , CT, GE, log P , HL, or Mol Wt.

In addition, the coefficients before q + , q − , E LUMO , PF, Q XX , Q XY , BP, MP, MR, IR-(C–O) svf, IR-brbvf, IR-mbvf, Raman-(C–O) svf, Raman-brsvf, and Raman-msvf were all negative, indicating that they had negative effects on the genetic toxicity of FQs (i.e., with increasing q + , q − , E LUMO , PF, Q XX , Q XY , BP, MP, MR, IR-(C–O) svf, IR-brbvf, IR-mbvf, Raman-(C–O) svf, Raman-brsvf, or Raman-msvf, the genotoxicity of FQs showed a decreasing trend). 3.2.

T-Tests revealed no sex differences in all primary variables ( p s ≥ 0.258), yet results showed marginally significant higher CVC for women ( M = 7.50, SD = 1.24) than men ( M = 7.06, SD = 1.24), t (110) = 1.75, p = 0.084. 3.1.

Pregnant women who participated in WIC during pregnancy delivered children with 36 g higher birthweight compared to women who did not participate in the program (95% CI: −7.3 g, 79.4 g); however, the association was only marginally significant.

Several studies recently published show a decreasing trend in alcohol consumption by adolescents both in Europe and in the United States [ 27 , 28 ].

The DDT contamination in the environment has a decreasing trend, and it can be assumed that this trend will continue.

At the same time, the prediction part showed that the highest monthly incidence per year has a decreasing trend after 2015.

From January 2011 to May 2016, the annual maximum values showed an increasing trend, however, the ARIMAX model could accurately predict from this increasing trend that the maximum monthly incidence decreased in 2016.

The relation between motor capacities assessed with GMFCS and the level of depression approaches statistical significance.

Indeed, an increasing trend in FVC was not observed only among the increasingly active participants, but also among the persistently active females and persistently low-active and decreasingly active males in adulthood.

However, the mean for some measures (fruit consumption and knowledge of nutrition and plant science) for the intervention group indicates a positive trend compared to the control group.

Meanwhile, the results showed a decreasing trend on average LOS and average OOP expenses, while there existed an opposite trend on NRCMS reimbursement rate.

The results showed an increasing trend on the daily hospitalization costs per patient during the study period.

The theoretical livestock carrying capacities per unit area of grassland in the core reserve areas, traditional utilization areas, and ecological restoration areas were 0.202, 0.248, and 0.123 sheep units/hm 2 , respectively, showing an increasing trend from the north to south ( Figure 7 ).

[ 45 ] observed a highly significant positive correlation between the P100 amplitude (VEP testing) and VF damage (MD values) in open-angle glaucoma patients.

In agreement with the results obtained by Ozen et al., which exhibited important differences in relation to a high and a low adherence in the population analyzed, with a clear trend to abandon the MD [ 60 ], the results found in the current research show a tendency to decrease the patterns related to the MD, since the average and low adhesion quantify more than 85% of the participating population.

Forced entry/evictions showed a sharp difference between the two LSOAs with a highly significant level in one LSOA and a significantly lower level in the other ( Figure 14 ).

From 2006 to 2017, the Moran index has a clear trend of volatility as a whole, indicating a significant positive correlation in the spatial distribution of urban resilience in the study area, and the agglomeration characteristics are significant.

The strength of this association was statistically confirmed as highly significant (Pr = 0.000).

However, a decreasing trend of condom use was already existing prior to the introduction of PrEP [ 51 , 52 ], with parallel increases of STIs [ 12 ].

However, the association for SBP was of borderline significance ( Table 4 ).

The significance for all tests was set at p ≤ 0.05, while values ≤ 0.06 were accepted as a significant trend.

Fortunately, the annual concentration of PM 2.5 from 2015 to 2018 presented a decreasing trend in most cities, except Jixi ( Figure 7 ).
