The color difference of dyed wool samples in Table 5 shows a significant trend of MR for light resistance because the ∆E of the dyed sample with MR was lower than that without the MR component (Samples 56, 61, and 66).

Previous PAH measurements in Singapore 7 reported ILCR values lower than the minimum acceptable level, with an increasing trend of potential high cancer risk to adults and children during haze conditions.

Overall, there is a general trend of decreasing Cl, Na, SO 4 and Sr with increasing distance from the west coast, whilst elements such as Fe, Ca, F and Si and isotopes such as δ 18 O, δ 13 C DIC and δ 13 C DOC do not show a clear trend (Fig. 5 e,h,i,k,l).

On the other hand, the number of patients with mood disorders has shown an increasing trend since 2018, and this trend was more evident in SNUBH.

Therefore, interpreting the positive relationship between PM2.5 exposure and CVD burden may be significant and support the biological association between air pollution exposure and atherosclerosis.

Negative temperature trends for summer from 1958 to 1990 and a positive trend from 1991 to 2001 were found for the Baltoro glacier in the Karakoram using the ERA-40 reanalysis dataset 18 .

They concluded that (i) the daily temperature range is consistently widening for all seasons, (ii) mean and maximum temperatures of winter show significant increases and (iii) mean and minimum summer temperatures show a decreasing trend.

The comparison of NBI percentage among the subgroups within group II showed no significant difference, with a decreasing trend over time starting at 2 weeks post-extraction (Table 8 ).

The comparison of NBI percentage among the subgroups within group I showed significant differences ( p < 0.05), with an increasing trend over time starting at 4 weeks post-extraction (Table 8 ).

NKA showed a decreasing trend with the increase in temperature, and a U-shaped trend with the increase in salinity.

A slightly significant correlation was found for systolic blood pressure and the metabolites, which is needed to be investigated in larger cohorts of patient to conclude if the high blood pressure is confounding factor that might contribute to the identified differences in metabolome profile in this study.

All these hypotheses were confirmed except for coupling, where we still found a statistical trend in the expected direction.

However, the p-values achieved from Cox regression analyses were less than 0.001 for age, sex, and their interaction; and there was a clear trend that the degree of BMI and childbirth correlate with the risk of idiopathic MH.

Weekly temporal evolution of ∆Ct NR over the study period evidenced three significant changes: a decreasing trend in ∆Ct NR was observed between weeks 20 and 30, ∆Ct NR then increased during weeks 37–41 and finally decreased again after week 49.

No regimen showed an obviously improvement than standard chemotherapy, although nivolumab was very close to statistical significance (HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.5–1.06).

An increasing trend in the median age at menopause and regional differences for all the considered percentiles were found.

We did not find any study suggesting a negative trend in AaM.

In the case of PVP-mEVs, we saw an increasing trend for the CD81 marker in RT samples.

As can be observed in the pH range from 2 to 5, the RLS signal at the maximum had the intensity of ~ 200 a.u., which evidenced fairly significant aggregation effects.

Further, the cloth face mask had a slightly significant negative effect on exercise tolerance.

However, a marginally significant difference was found when stratified by age, where NFVA with habitual correction as measured by the SVC was better than that measured by the AS-28 in an elderly population (≥ 43 years old, median value of this population): 0.22 ± 0.20 logMAR with the AS-28, and 0.15 ± 0.14 logMAR with the SVC (P = 0.04).

Despite clear patterns in the composition of lemur GMBs, alpha diversity was not significantly correlated with the host’s time spent in naturalistic environments; however, there was a nonsignificant trend for all alpha diversity metrics to decrease with residency at the LRC.

Results We observed a negative trend in alpha diversity with time in residence at the LRC; nevertheless, the patterns did not reach statistical significance for any metric.

A negative trend in both maximum and minimum discharge was recorded from late 2017 to 2020 (Fig. 2 c), although rainfall in this interval was not particularly low 8 .

As shown in Table 2 : Goods_coverage showed the species coverage detected in each sample was above 97%; there was no significant difference in the Chao1 and ACE indices between the samples, which reflected the species richness of the samples with different cultivation years had no significant change; meanwhile, the Shannon and Simpson indices of the samples showed a trend of declining with the cultivation year, which indicated the reduction of bacterial community diversity.
