Excerpts

In any time period, the GTFP in China and the eastern central and western regions of China showed an increasing trend.

The GTEC was less than 1 in the whole sample period and nationwide, showing that green technology had a decreasing trend.

Noise exposure in the evening (19:00–23:00) and in the early morning hours (05:00–06:00) was significantly associated with sleep efficiency, whereas the other time windows reached only borderline significance.

Using estimated indoor noise instead of measured outdoor noise yielded similar results in terms of regression coefficients, but none of the associations was even close to significance ( Table 4 ).

Water Footprint of Consumption of Each Food Since 2001, the water footprint of residents on food consumption of grain, vegetables, edible vegetable oil, meat, poultry and eggs has shown an increasing trend, and the increasing range of poultry, meat and eggs is large.

As can be seen, the per capita GDP of Jiangsu is always higher than those of the whole country, and the gap has an increasing trend, which indicates that Jiangsu can seize the opportunity for development and continuously improve people’s living standards.

However, annual erosions and sediments in the 2070s were still at a high level in WW, and an increasing trend could be found under the scenario of RCP4.5.

For the annual and wet season results, compared with the CVS80, the CVS8000, CVS8017, and CVS0017 of Shiyazhuang and Xinachuan showed a decreasing trend.

In the wet season, the runoff of the three climate scenarios showed a trend of S45 < S26 < S85, S26 < S85 < S45 in the temperate season, and S45 < S85 < S26 in the dry season, which were basically the same as the results of S80.

Moreover, compared with CVS80, CVS8000, CVS8017 and CVS0017 of Baliqiao on the downstream tributary showed an increasing trend.

The CVs in Qiaotou and Chaoyang showed a slightly increasing trend.

Figure 6 verifies the perception of the farmers, as we can see that since 2000 onward temperature has an increasing trend with minor variation while the precipitation has too much variation which very disturbing for the dairy farmers as heavy rainfall cause of floods and very low precipitation increased the drought time span.

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.
