Are particular technologies being used in specific environments or subgroups of patients? Several authors have suggested an increasing trend in the use of robots for health care in industrial applications to home and consumer-based markets [ 110 , 160 ].

The overall stratigraphic thickness of the Xishanyao Formation shows a decreasing trend near the Xidagou Syncline and the axis of the Huoshaoshan Anticline, indicating that the anticline had already developed prior to coal seam deposition and subsequently experienced uplift.

In particular, studies focusing on IPV and reproductive coercion are lacking within the DRC [ 47 ] despite high rates of IPV in the country (44% in 2014) and despite equally high unmet need for family planning, with an increasing trend from 28.7% in 2018 to 31.6% in 2024 [ 48 – 50 ].

Most intersecting genes showed a trend toward higher expression in tumor tissues, and several genes, including EAF1, UPF1, KHDRBS1, and SP3L, were markedly upregulated in the tumor group ( Fig 5A ), indicating preferential upregulation of these genes in bladder cancer tissues.

The β represents the slope coefficient, where a positive value β > 0 signifies an increasing trend, and a negative value β < 0 indicates a decreasing trend in the time series throughout the study period.

A statistically significant difference was observed between H1 and H3 (p = 0.034 < 0.05), while the comparison between H1 and M3 showed a marginally significant difference (p = 0.069 < 0.1).

The co-culture chip group only showed a trend toward lower cell viability than the well plate group ( Fig 5A - 5D ).

In general, the measured values of u , v , and uv have an increasing trend along the streamwise direction in the region 16 ≤ x/d < 19.

This indicates a highly significant correlation between the two sets of data, suggesting good test-retest reliability.

We noticed a slight trend of higher total and linear plasmid numbers in pathogenic than in nonpathogenic isolates, but the difference was not significant, and results should be interpreted with caution due to limited sample size of nonpathogenic isolates.

In a review, a positive trend was seen among dentists to teach mothers the importance of maintaining oral hygiene [ 21 ].

The effect of dental wear in the case of Chagyrskaya 64 may be significant due to the advanced age of the individual [ 26 ].

The sites do not show a pronounced trend of changing environmental conditions, despite expectations of a shift from brackish to marine conditions due to rising sea levels and changing salinity [ 47 ].

These three trajectory groups showed a general parallel trend; the Hb concentration levels among all three groups showed a decreasing trend from the first to the second trimester and a slight increasing trend from the second to the third trimester.

19.00, 95% CI: −43.36 to −0.03, median −5.24), unexpectedly negative and marginally significant (CI barely excludes zero).

Significant genetic variance implies that EBV-based selection could be implemented to support more accurate identification of genetic predisposition by incorporating extended pedigree information, and controlling for environmental effects such as the highly significant assessor effect observed here and elsewhere [ 58 ].We found that in Bulldog and Pug, the number of dogs with highly accurate EBVs already exceeded the number of phenotyped dogs, illustrating effective dissemination of information from phenotyped dogs through related individuals.

For MLR methods there was a slight trend of decrease in mean empSE as the number of assessments increased, but for the SLR method, varying the number of assessments had broadly no impact.

The effect of throat length, divergence angle, convergence angle, and throat diameter on TKE (max and ave) The impact of the length and diameter of the venturi tube on TKE in a venturi tube reactor is highly significant, as the dimensions of this part of the reactor affect flow characteristics, mixing efficiency, and energy dissipation.

This occurred in parallel with a decreasing trend in PGE 2 levels ( Fig 5 ), suggesting a potential shift in the signaling balance toward anti-inflammatory pathways.

Using Holm-Bonferroni, which is still conservative due to correlated tests, to correct for multiple inference does not change the status of any of the nominally significant tests.

The issue of resources allocated to control samples remain highly significant in large scale ChIP-seq studies with 10s or 100s of diseased and non-diseased ChIPed individuals [5] .

Consistent with the model outcomes, analyses of the working Sentinel Surveillance datasets (Republican AIDS Centre, 2006–2010) among PWID revealed a declining trend in HIV prevalence among younger age groups and an increasing trend among older age groups over time (Fig 4 in Appendix S2).

We detected an increasing trend in leaf angular velocity with greater initial leaf angle ( Fig 1d ); notably, traps with ω angle near π / 2 rad closed rapidly (dotted rectangle).

The log likelihood ratio is 24.65, and the p-value < 0.01, confirming a highly significant clustering.

Given that microbial community composition was available for only 12 out of the 27 the species for which leaf surface texture complexity was analyzed, these barely significant relationships between leaf surface texture complexity and leaf microbe community ( Figs 2 , Table 1 ) are remarkable and require further attention in future studies.
