Excerpts

Contrastingly, the Uppsala Study, which focused on competing risks and conditional probabilities, found a modestly higher cumulative incidence of prostate cancer among men with metabolic syndrome, with abdominal obesity showing a nonsignificant trend toward increased risk 19 .

Upon analyzing the results, a clear trend emerged: as the phage concentration decreased gradually, the measured OD values post-binding to Ag1 and Ag2 also decreased incrementally.

The color transition from blue to yellow indicates an increasing trend in the wavelet energy spectrum.

Additionally, relative humidity exhibits an increasing trend only in the high-emission scenario, SSP5.

M’ has very low values at lower frequencies and exhibits an increasing trend with the rise in frequency.

To assess the importance of each term in the model, we compared the model with and without the term of interest, interpreting terms with 0.05 < p < 0.1 as marginally significant.

To date, the implications for swan ecology and welfare are unknown; however, considering the findings from previous studies on human-bird interactions in gardens 40 , they are likely to be significant.

In the three future periods (2030s (2021–2040), 2050s (2041–2060) and 2090s (2081–2100)), the medium and high suitable areas under different climate scenarios generally showed an expanding trend, while the low suitable areas mostly showed a decreasing trend.

With the increase in the loading, the existence of particle size less than 0.074 mm in the specimen showed a decreasing trend, and all types of particle breakage indices showed an increasing trend.

4 , Lower panel) showed an increasing trend.

9 and 10 , the analysis shows that the axial compressive strength of concrete shows a decreasing trend as the clay content of concrete increases and this decreasing trend is more pronounced as the clay content increases, this is due to the fact that when the clay content is too high, it may lead to the formation of additional defects in the concrete which will weaken the concrete strength 38 .

As shown in Table 5 , with the gradual increase of the scale of the problem, the CPU time of C&CG algorithm shows an increasing trend.

A possible trend for LR increase or decrease when this parameter was varied is also presented.

However, the EMG magnitude modulation still showed a trend depending on the stimulation location on the fingertip and the target force direction.

In 2017 it was already showing a negative trend compared to 1984, and in 2020 it showed a loss of more than 7 m.

Thus, after the nourishment the eastern part (zones D, E) followed an erosive trend, while zones A and B maintained a positive trend (Table 2 ).

FR3_15_min_con ( t (45) = -3.399, p < 0.01), FS_Score ( t (45) = 4.836, p < 0.001), Onset_Skew ( t (45) = -3.255, p < 0.01), Binge ( t (45) = 2.337, p < 0.05) and Sex*Conflict_Pref ( t (45) = -3.071, p < 0.01) were all significant predictors of Ext_Score, while the Sex term ( t (45) = -1.826, p = 0.074) was marginally significant, suggesting less persistent pressing in extinction in males, and the Conflict_Pref term was insignificant ( t (45) = 1.349, p = 0.184) but remained in the model as it was part of the interaction.

The rate of damage growth gradually increases until the final destruction stage, indicating an overall trend of accelerated growth, which contradicts the typical damage pattern observed during rock failure.

Despite an increasing trend in ASIR and ASPR, the ASMR and ASDR for EOCRC have shown a decline, albeit at a relatively slow pace.

7 ) revealed that the hotspots (> 95% Confidence) of salt dust were concentrated on the eastern and southwestern sides of the Aral Sea in patches, and the area of significant hotspot regions increased from 8.76 to 14.63% from 2003 to 2018, with the area of highly significant hotspots increasing from 6.02–10.33%.The area of cold spots(> 95% Confidence) was relatively large from 2008 to 2012, mainly on the eastern side, and accounted for 4.51% of the study area.

Because the number of beds must be integer-based, it remains constant within certain intervals but overall exhibits an increasing trend.

By assessing the temporal characteristics of M-OCPM signal, it is feasible to determine the adhesion status of an NP, which is highly significant in understanding the interaction between NPs and cells.

The results revealed a clear trend, indicating an inverse correlation between ND and void properties.

8 : During the process from pouring to consolidation stability of the pile, the expansion stress can be divided into four stages based on the evolution trend of the expansion stress of the pile expansion section over time: Rapid growth stage: During the consolidation process of the pile body, the expansion agent undergoes a hydration reaction to produce expansion stress, which continuously increases with time and reaches a peak stress of about 1600 kPa near 18 h; (ii) Loss Stage: From 18 to 25 h, the expansion stress shows a decreasing trend.

The side resistance in this section exhibits an increasing trend with the increasing dosage of the expansion agent.
