Excerpts

In fact, the indicators which show a reduction of involvement in both roles reveal highly significant changes.

Participants with mobile phone-related awakenings at BL and FUP had a significant increased risk to develop headache (OR M1 : 2.72 (CI: 1.01–7.36)) and a borderline significant risk to develop concentration problems (OR M1 : 2.67 (CI: 0.98–7.22)).

The percentage of the built-up area increased from 5.11% in 1988 to 9.85% in 2001 and 17.29% in 2017, while the percentage of vegetation cover was 12.45%, 8.71%, and 6.80% in 1988, 2001, and 2017, respectively, with a decreasing trend.

As shown in Figure 10 , for the weight of the splash water from measuring points 1 to 10, the splash weight has a decreasing trend.

Furthermore, the correlations between each pair among the annual precipitation, annual precipitation in the wet season, annual precipitation in the dry season, and annual torrential rain days are quite significant.

As we can see from Table 3 and from Figure 1 , the highest effect size was found in the high-EC group, where the KiVa group showed a decreasing trend over time, and the control group showed an increase over time.

Water quality indices can also be used by water suppliers when assessing their treatment plant process control to ensure drinking water safety especially during short-term events when fluctuations of drinking water quality may be significant.

PM 2.5 moving average concentration (lag02–lag04) on the non-accidental mortality had significant effects, of which lag02–lag04 were marginally significant.

Therefore, the identification and quantification of the efficacy of these plant species, and their regulating factors, may be significant toward the selection of greening plant species for pollution control.

In the present study, PA also showed a trend of decreasing with age.

UCC differences by housing type had borderline significance.

However, the associations between SES and health were highly significant even during adolescence, indicating that the effect of the social background may diminish but not disappear during adolescence.

However, an increasing trend was found in the HST and LAT groups.

A decreasing trend from the exhalation zone to the inhalation zone can be seen for h I/ h o < 1 in the absence of any desks.

There was a clear trend of particles being located near the outlet for ACH increasing from 3 to 5, while, from 5 to 7, the same conclusion could not be drawn.

A marginally significant difference was found for income.

According to Figure 1 , the total number of publications on algal-bacterial symbiosis in wastewater treatment from 1998 to 2017 had shown an increasing trend, with slight fluctuations in individual years.

Additionally, there was a significant trend between increasing exposure and hypospadias prevalence for arsenic, chromium, lead, manganese and mercury.

Previous research has suggested that there may be significant differences in risk variables and in socio-demographic profile between those with a diagnosis of DE and those with a diagnosis of AD [ 7 , 8 ].

Despite the fact that agro-growing technology has advanced significantly, water and energy consumption still exhibits an increasing trend.

From 2002 to 2015, the SI for Yunlin exhibited a decreasing trend (i.e., moving towards a more sustainable direction) in general and that for Taoyuan showed an increasing trend (moving in a less sustainable direction).

Non-whites were diagnosed at a significantly younger age than whites and showed a trend towards fewer gender differences in the age of diagnosis.

This means that the second-order polynomial equations (Equations (1)–(3)) are extremely significant, and the models fit well to the experimental results.

Maximum A-weighted SPL and Tr proved to be highly significant acoustical predictors for awakenings (road traffic noise served as reference category).

In 2013–2015, the concentration of PM 2.5 in 74 cities in China showed a decreasing trend, and the concentration of PM 2.5 in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region overall decreased by 27.4%; however, the decrease was only 9.9% in Beijing.
