Excerpts

For the wetting trend, a decreasing trend followed by an increasing trend was observed since the 1960s, with a cut-off of 1997 59 .

The arid or semi-arid northwestern NWC (mean annual P below 500 mm) is with an increasing trend in precipitation at a rate around 23.7 mm/10a.

Among these nominally significant probes, 77.9% (1410/1809) of the probes for CD4 + T cells and 82.5% (1520/1843) of the probes for CD8 + T cells showed lower methylation rates in the patients than in the controls.

The effect was large and highly significant: the frequency of negative emotion words soared by 1.6 pre-campaign standard deviations, or by 8% of the pre-campaign mean.

Outside SPAs and IBAs hardly any breeding males were recorded during this last survey (only ten birds) showing a negative trend of 94% compared to the 2003–2006 estimate.

Within SPAs all areas showed a negative trend, and the non-SPA IBA of Alter do Chão was the only surveyed area that showed a positive trend, but irrelevant in the national context since the variation was of only 6 males (Table S1 ).

Moreover, we observed an interesting trend in the induction of IL-6 in DENV-infected HUCB, indicating that cell types in HUCB support DENV infection (Supplementary Fig.

6 , the positive rate of wheat allergens in the Chinese allergic population showed an increasing trend with age.

There was a clear trend found with the position of the single point base-substitutions.

Therefore, a decreasing trend of equivalent viscous damping of both samples was observed.

The shear failure dissipates more energy, due to which the graph shows an increasing trend, while in later cycles, the magnitude of imposed displacement was increased, which compressed the weak masonry units and did not allow to dissipate much energy.

However, transmitted power showed a decreasing trend with the increased sensor length for all the printed transparent sensors.

Therefore, variations in transmission spectra followed an increasing trend with an increase in sensor length, and each sensor was saturated after 160 min of immersion.

Men also demonstrated a low odds ratio (0.65, 95% CI 0.44–0.95) in the highest leisure-time exercise quartile, and a greater amount of leisure-time exercise was associated with a lower risk of dysphagia ( P for trend = 0.019), while women demonstrated borderline significance after adjusting for all the covariates ( P for trend = 0.074).

On the other hand, women showed a borderline significant trend toward a higher risk of dysphagia as physical activity levels increased ( P for trend = 0.055).

Both of them show a decreasing trend in summer and an increasing trend in spring, autumn and winter (Figs.

On the 30-year scale, the trend of both SPEI-12 and SEDI-12 changes showed a decreasing trend (Fig. 1 c,d).

Root shoot ratio A decreasing trend was observed in root shoot ratio at each successive sampling stage (Fig. 4 B).

Globally, a decreasing trend in seropositivity against T. gondii is observed, but this does not always reflect a direct decrease in CT incidence.

Lastly, both (9 R )-HHC and (9 S )-HHC showed a trend towards decreasing body temperature, indicating hypothermic effects.

Regression discontinuity analysis showed a significant trend cutoff point 16 with a p-value of 0.02–0.04 exclusively within the October–December 2012 period (see in the Methods and Supplementary Note 3, particularly Supplementary Table 9).

6 c and d show a decreasing trend for acoustic impedance and oscillation decay factor respectively.

The combined counts of the S1, S2, and N antigens in the ELISPOT assay were associated with the number of symptoms First, we examined the combined spot counts of the S1, S2, and N antigens and the severity of COVID-19 in individual cases; however, a clear trend could not be established (Fig. 4 A).

There is a clear trend of decreasing break-in time with increasing normal load, suggesting larger mechanical energy input accelerated the kinetics of materials transformation that effectively resulted in lubricious sliding.

2 a, where the temperature of the TCP FL shows a decreasing trend.
