Based on the results, the summer type fish kills can be traced back to neurons IX, VIII, and VII, having air pressure (AP) gradients from 1001.1 to 1002.4 hpa and temperature (T) gradients from 32.3 to 29.9 °C across the 7 days; a sudden drop of wind in the vertical position (WY) from 0.24 to 0.09 m/s, with a bounce back to 0.24 m/s; an increasing trend in wind in the horizontal position (WX) from −0.03 to 0.24 m/s; an intense storm from the 5th to 7th day (R) at an hourly rate of 0.35 mm/h that accumulated to a total of 192.5 mm (Fig. 3 and Table 2 ).

On contrast, non-summer fish kills were associated with a constant northeastward direction with little change in wind direction, and a decreasing trend of WS that periodically dropped to almost zero m/s between the 3rd to the 6th days (Fig. 3 ).

However, the discriminative ability showed a decreasing trend along with the extension of follow-up time.

A decreasing trend on the grid can therefore be used as an alternative indicator that the residential agents are segregating over time (simulation iterations).

However, recent studies in Asia showed higher rates and an increasing trend among the 3rd-generation cephalosporin-resistant E. coli isolates has been reported 33 .

Although a pharmacological experiment in 3-month-old APP/PS1-Tg mice does include a survival bias, our preliminary data, to the contrary, showed an apparent trend on the improvement in working memory (Supplementary Fig.

1 also suggests that the OR for being overweight or obese had a decreasing trend along with the increases of the baseline age group and/or age at started smoking.

Although there is a decreasing trend in the annual incidence of LEAs caused by T2DM 5 , the cost of ulceration and amputations attributable to diabetes reached $10.9 billion in 2001 6 .

Based on these analyses, we observed the following novel spatial-temporal characteristics of ET: from 1948 to 2018, (1) the ET in most regions covered by 89.5% of all pixels in China exhibits an increasing trend.

When n > 10 , the normal distribution statistics are calculated as follows: Z = S - 1 v a r ( S ) , S > 0 0 , S = 0 S + 1 v a r ( S ) , S < 0 If Z > 0 , this indicates that ET exhibits an increasing trend over this period; otherwise, it exhibits a decreasing trend, and the larger the absolute value is, the more obvious the trend is.

Among the metabolites showing FDR significant association with IS in clinically healthy subjects of Arab descent, we replicated the same trend at the nominally significant p-value for almost all amino acids apart of histidine (Table 1 ).

The area covered by vegetation varied between about 15% in run AB (flood 10) and 0.075% in runs AA and BB (flood 1) displaying an increasing trend after flood 6 (see post-flood cover in Fig. 4 a).

We found a highly significant decrease in presence of rifampicin, but also IL-26 significantly reduced the number of CFUs (Fig. 2 d).

There was a highly significant correlation between the online proprioceptive acuity, as measured by the CCM task, and the difference between post minus pre tool-use on most of the kinematic parameters: acceleration: r = 0.802 , p < 0.001; velocity: r = 0.769, p < 0.00012; deceleration: r = 0.766, p < 0.00013; latency of velocity: r = − 0.707, p < 0.00071; latency of deceleration: r = − 0.665, p < 0.0019; movement time: r = − 0.770, p < 0.00012; latency of maximum grip aperture: r = − 0.742, p < 0.00065 (all p values are Bonferroni corrected).

Although a positive trend was observed for CyA and UAMC-00050, these results were not statistically significant.

We also found a non-significant U-shape dose–response effect of vitamin E (or α-tocopherol) dosage on the reduction of serum CRP in which the effect had a gradually increasing trend from 0 to 400 mg/day and then it had a decreasing trend from 400 to 1000 mg/day; such that at the dosages of ≥ 1000 mg/day, vitamin E had no significant effect on serum CRP concentrations.

The ZFC curve for the sample A200C provides only an almost insignificant slightly increased T B of 110(1) K, corresponding to a magnetization of 1.49 emu/g.

Apart from the changing patterns of precipitation, vapor pressure deficit and longer drought periods 7 , 9 , an increasing trend of human habitation at the wildland-urban interface (WUI) has rendered the problem of wildfire management particularly complex.

Additionally, the influence of the atmosphere is almost insignificant due to the low acquisition altitudes, thus atmospheric corrections were not needed.

In addition, an increasing trend in the bands 2917 and 2846 cm −1 was observed in the following order: uncrosslinked CNF < with crosslinker (unheated) < with crosslinker (heated).

The nutrient release of all foliar types exhibited an increasing trend over time but differed among water treatments and incubation times (Fig.

These authors also found a marginally significant interaction between hand and group, which was due to the fact that individuals with DD inserted fewer pins than controls with the dominant hand.

A clear trend towards lower IL-8 responses was shown in patients with a history of gangrenous appendicitis (Fig. 2 d).

In our small observational cohort, we observed a significant trend towards higher white cell counts and neutrophil counts in patients with dyslipidaemia.

There is a slight trend toward increase in the levels of GFAP and Iba1 in the blast group.
