Excerpts

The greenhouse gas inventory of the lime industrial process in Figure 1 shows that as the capacity of the lime industry expands, the carbon dioxide emissions of its industrial process present an increasing trend.

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.

Notably, S CO 2 showed no obvious increase at 5 cm of IPC length when peak voltage was higher than 15 kV (40.8% to 46.2% at 24 kV), whereas the R T maintained an increasing trend.

At >16 destinations/km 2 , the association was weak (large 95% confidence intervals due to a low number of observations) and showing a positive trend ( Figure S1 , left bottom).

When comparing up- and downstream feeding rates of Gammarus pulex for seven days, relative to the WWTPs, no significant acute effects were detected, although a slight trend of increased feeding rate downstream of the WWTP Aachen-Soers was observed.

Only two borderline significant associations were observed: one negative borderline association between area of parks contained or intersected by the buffer and self-reported leisure-time brisk walking ( p = 0.077); and another positive borderline association between distance of walk-friendly routes contained or intersected by buffer and OM-MVPA ( p = 0.052).

[ 18 ] found that Chinese fields emitted 6.4~12.0 Tg C per year within a continuous flooding scenario under 1990 climate land-use conditions by modeling CH 4 emissions using DNDC, while southern China showed larger CH 4 emissions than other parts, and in another paper, an increasing trend of CH 4 emission of rice paddies in China from 2000 to 2020 by different management scenarios was also found [ 19 ].

Spatially, the CH 4 fluxes showed a decreasing trend from west to east, and the climatic tendencies in the northern and western parts were higher.

The effects were clearly significant for end-expiratory flows and remained visible up to 24 h after exposure.

Second, given the association between higher quit rates and vape shops (relative to retail stores), this shift from retail store to vape shops could be viewed as a positive trend.

also described an apparent trend when comparing residents below and not below Canal St.: the former had stronger associations between location and both any new-onset and persistent new-onset respiratory symptoms [ 9 ].

Nevertheless, a decreasing trend of Hg was determined for the same time period in Atlantic cod from Iceland and the Faroe islands [ 7 ].

The results show that DFAA occurred more frequently in summer, with an increasing trend from northwest to southeast of the LRB, basically concentrated in the downstream plain area, and the irrigation area.

Given the relatively small sample size and large confidence intervals ( Table 3 ), the borderline significant associations could be a result of measurement error, or represent a true null effect.

However, if the grazing pressure is high in the aquatic ecosystem, there might be significant biomagnification of testosterone along the food chain.

Occupational exposure to the gradient field may be significant, especially near the bore opening.

A weakly significant association (ORs were close to 1) between Zn, Mg, and Ca with preterm birth was observed for the raw data but disappeared upon adjustments. 4.
