There was a decreasing trend in the number of cases reported weekly from 2009–2014.

This finding shows that the estimated direct and spillover effects (elasticity) of energy intensity are highly significant at the 1% and 10% level respectively, and their signs are positive as expected.

Although around day 7 the samples had stronger indication of the presence of virus, these data also do not show a clear trend. 4.

In our analyses, however, we did not find any significant association between questing nymph density or DIN with NDWI, with the exception of a marginally significant positive association of March NDWI with Rickettsia spp.

Based on self-administration, a moderate correlation in the GPAQ single-item sitting (rho: 0.46), a fair correlation in the ASBQ eating domain (rho: 0.34), and a correlation of borderline significance for occupational sitting (rho: 0.32) were reported.

While informal, voluntary feedback on services still occurs, there is an increasing trend towards formal, paid positions for service users.

Moreover, Figure 1 shows the number of men and women who died between 1995 and 2010 in the study population; from the figure it can be seen that there has been a decreasing trend in mortality since 2002.

A p -value of <0.05 was considered significant while a value of <0.10 was considered moderately significant.

Spatial dependence is not evident in those spatial error models as indicated by their highly significant spatial autoregressive coefficient (Lamda; λ) and the insignificant Moran’s I statistics for the regression residuals.

Direct runoff from 1984 to 2015 had an increasing trend when b > 0 and a decreasing trend when b < 0.

There has been an increasing trend in using perceived fatigue to guide exercise testing and also to find onsite exertion levels in individuals with spinal cord injuries and factory workers using manual lifting techniques [ 11 ].

A concentration minimum was observed for all investigated samples; thus, there is a decreasing trend at approximately 60 to 200 days.

Introduction Asthma is a common chronic disease in childhood and has become an increasing problem in the last few decades because numerous studies have revealed an increasing trend of asthma prevalence in both developed and developing countries [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ].

The average change rate of SHDI and ED of the study area exhibited an increasing trend in 2000 and 2015, signifying increased instability, fragmentation, and irregularity of the soil landscapes.

Considering the accumulated line of evidence on the associations of SB and PA with health benefits [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ], differences in the time spent in SB and PA between drivers and non-drivers may be significant.

In addition, R 2 of the regression equation exhibited a decreasing trend under the conditions of normal, mild wetness, and moderate wetness.

However, it is noteworthy that escitalopram users showed a trend of less neurological deteriorations, despite their higher initial neurological severity.

Improvement of VR-Related Educational Kits There is a significant trend in developing new VR devices in order to further enhance the level of immersion and interaction in the virtual environment and reduce the cost, size and perception burdens of human.

The spatial analysis depicted a decreasing trend of PBDEs from west to east Chaohu Lake, consistent with regional industrialization degree.
