Excerpts

As we know, achieving an extremely lower κ value and understanding the underlying phonon transport mechanism are extremely significant to the improvement of ZT for thermoelectric materials.

The airbag damage of the prevention group and the treatment group showed a decreasing trend compared with the other groups, indicating that quercetin could reduce the pathological damage of chicken air sacs caused by MG infection.

As can be seen from Table 1 and Table 2 and Figure 7 , there was an increasing trend of the average natural atomic charge population of indium atoms in (InN) 12n nanoclusters with the increasing size of (InN) 12n nanoclusters; the electronic charges in the N atoms originated from the neighboring In atoms.

After prochloraz EC spraying, the BTS44596 concentration showed an increasing trend in the first three days; then, it decreased.

Serum triglyceride levels showed a significant reduction in the 8-week MetS group, eventually showing a gradual rise in the same group and being highly significant at the end of 52 weeks.

The mean value of EAI was 22.36 m 2 /g, the variation was 19.62~25.28 m 2 /g, the coefficient of variation was 1.94%, the largest EAI was 950 E, the smallest EAI was 970 W, and the difference between the three was highly significant.

This is based on epidemiological studies that have demonstrated a slightly significant inverse relationship between a high intake of total vegetables (with a relative risk of 0.82 and a 95% confidence interval of 0.74–0.90) [ 3 ] or a diet rich in fruits and vegetables (with a relative risk of 0.85 and a 95% confidence interval of 0.76–0.95) [ 4 ] and the risk of developing estrogen receptor-negative (ER-negative) breast cancer.

Subsequently, there was no significant difference in the body weight of each group of db/db mice at the weekend of every week, but the DM group showed a trend of weight loss starting at the sixth weekend.

Other bands showed a trend similar to that presented in Figure 2 , i.e., the reduction of the dimer [Mn(apbpy)(CO) 3 ] 2 into a monomeric anion.

These spectral assignments are highly significant since they provide evidence of either weak hydrogen bonding and/or electrostatic interactions between Q197 and the terminal oxo ligand and between the PDT –NH 2 terminus and Q102.

It could be observed that the adsorption effect showed an increasing trend with increasing pH.

Then, as the pH increased from 4 to 8, the adsorption showed a decreasing trend.

However, at 800 °C, Rp did not exhibit a clear trend under the three atmospheres.

Immediately after the HHP and blanching (C0) treatments, all samples showed L* values similar to those of the green beans, while from C1 to C20, there was a decreasing trend, reaching a minimum value of 37.6 for 50 MPa, whereas 41.4, 41.5, and 39.8 were obtained for blanching, 100 MPa, and 400 MPa at C20.

With the increase in the extraction time from 3 s to 1020 s, the yield of crocins showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.

Furthermore, a* showed a highly significant negative relationship with the extract and total flavonoids contents and a significant positive correlation with isoliquiritigenin content.

Statistical Analysis Data results were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (mean ± SD), and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed on the main experimental data using SPSS 19.0 software, with p < 0.05 indicating significant differences and p < 0.01 indicating highly significant differences.

Figure 5 presents nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, revealing a decreasing trend in specific surface area for PT with successive calcination at 470 °C, 570 °C, and 670 °C, resulting in values of 54.5 m 2 /g, 12.5 m 2 /g, and 1.3 m 2 /g, the specific surface area of samples is shown in Table 2 .

Within the PT samples, a clear trend emerges: the absorption threshold of PT-670 exceeds that of PT-470 and PT-570.

In this paper, we found that, with the increase in the plasma concentration of IS, there was a decreasing trend of OAT1/3 expression during the renal fibrosis process, while the expressions of MRP4 and ABCG2 increased, indicating that the accumulation of IS is directly related to the decrease in OAT expression.

During the recovery experiments, a decreasing trend was observed in the yields and enantiomeric excesses, while the mass of the catalysts was constantly growing because of a polymer-like side product.

The caffeoyl-CoA O-methyltransferase ( CCoAOMT ) gene ( LOC110092466 ) and sinapyl alcohol were co-enriched in the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis (ko00940) pathway, and both showed a decreasing trend.

However, a clear trend of increasing stability with an increasing surface Pt-doping concentration when going from 1 Pt/Au(111) to 3 Pt/Au(111) could easily be discerned, irrespective of the adsorption site.

Compared with Figure 1 , the I a values for different S/A ratios showed a trend of I (S/A=1.5) > I (S/A=2.0) > I (S/A=2.5) at the same total S + A.

The ability of liposomes to target hepatocellular carcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo and the anti-tumor effect showed a trend in LPs < Gal-LPs < Gal-Mor-LPs, indicating that dual targeting nano-carriers could improve the tumor suppressive effect of CUR.
