Excerpts

Although no statistically significant results or relatively small effect sizes were observed in our study, a positive trend of RAGT on brain plasticity was identified.

An overall trend of increase in functional network connectivity strength was observed ( Fig 3A ).

Network efficiency, which measures how efficiently information is exchanged in a network, showed a marginally significant change.

Ge shows a decreasing trend for the sediment samples from both rivers.

The spatial distribution of impact coefficients within the G2 peripheral location characteristics all show an increasing trend from west to east ( Fig 8D–8G ).

A notable trend from the community capitals regressions is how the weekend effect being significant in 4 different models, with a larger regression coefficient than the vaccine effect.

This may be significant given the diverse roles of MHWs samples and multiple settings featured in included studies.

In our study, there was a definite trend for higher risk of malignancy with increasing grade of retroareolar density.

The number of spikes showed an increasing trend with increasing the fertilizer rate with a maximum at C4 (660 kg ha -1 ).

For instance, when we closely examine the graphical representation in Fig 9 , we can see a clear trend whereas λ steadily increases, the effects on the transmitted and reflected waves become apparent.

The stiffness transmission coefficients T stc for four distinct values of λ show an increasing trend and eventually reach 1 when γ rises from 0 to 1, as shown in Fig 9(a) , where f is 150 Hz.

Previous studies have shown a highly significant correlation between GMV and BPV with EDSS [ 71 ].

Ln-LAP tertiles Participants in the second tertile (T2) showed a trend towards a higher risk of gallstones compared with the reference group (T1).

At H-W, the TBI group at PIHs 24 and 72 showed a trend toward higher blood warfarin concentrations than the non-injured groups.

During the past 30 years, there was an increasing trend of practice of C-section; it varies from 5% to 43% among countries around the world.

CAT activities showed an increasing trend, with significantly higher and lower activity in fish fed BSF60P (14.13±0.16) and control diets (13.42±0.08), respectively.

There was a slight trend towards a stronger association between abnormally high exertional breathlessness intensity and all-cause mortality at lower %predW max , stages which is to be expected as many participants in this group have impaired exercise capacity.

We chose this specific selection of study groups and blood sampling time-points to demonstrate that, depending on the time-point of the latest performed vaccination, there may be significant differences in equine immune responses.

Discussion The main findings were as follows: (1) there was a positive trend in excess weight over the 10-year study period among adolescents of both sexes, (2) boys from the 2017/2018 sample who spent more than 4 h a day on screen-based activities, and with inadequate cardiorespiratory fitness had a higher likelihood of having excess weight compared with boys from the 2007 sample, (3) adolescents of both sexes with inadequate muscle strength had greater chances of having excess weight in 2017/2018 than in 2007, and (4) adolescents with adequate cardiorespiratory fitness had lower chances of having excess weight in 2017/2018 than in 2007.

The present study revealed an unexpected trend where adolescent boys in the mixed and unhealthy clusters at baseline had a smaller change in BMI z-score between ages 14–17 compared to those in the healthy cluster.

This was with the exception of BMI z-score where there was a marginally statistically significant finding with a small effect size showing the unhealthy and mixed clusters to have had less change in BMI z-scores during this period from a relatively higher start in BMI z-scores compared to the healthy cluster.

Similarly, another study showed a trend towards increased levels of soluble NCAM in the CSF of AD patients compared to controls [ 49 ].

For the relative errors of Sentinel 2 bands after atmospheric correction, the values of the first four bands are smaller and still show a decreasing trend.

On the whole, when the number of cores is constant, as the amount of data increases, the acceleration ratio of the SOSK-Means algorithm shows an increasing trend, and when the number of cores is 4, the acceleration ratio of the algorithm increases slowly.

Moreover, the results of the current thematic analysis also evidenced Theme 6 ‐ Threats to Information Integrity and Societal Impact , which collects discussions about potential threats of deepfake, evidencing an increasing trend from 9% in older discussions to 14% in recent ones, so indicating a growing concern people have regarding the potential misuse or threats posed by deepfake technology.
