“a clear trend”

Rarefaction curves in the two libraries showed a clear trend toward reaching a plateau (Additional file 2 : Figure S1).

The data indicate a clear trend that as the medium of informed consent transitions from traditional oral methods to modern digital approaches, patient satisfaction and understanding significantly improve.

Yet, looking at the groups of networks with the same numbers of layers (see Figure 2 c) revealed a clear trend: For shallower networks, there is a positive correlation between accuracy and correlation with humans, meaning those exemplars that correlate well with humans are also the ones that perform better within the range of possible networks.

There was a clear trend towards a more severe OSA among non-dippers, and severe OSA was an independent correlate of non-dipping BP during NREM-sleep.

We observed a clear trend in which the longer is the alkylsilane, the lower is the elastic modulus.

Visual inspection of these spectrograms showed a clear trend toward predominant use of multinote syllables by Hermit warblers, while Townsend's warblers use single‐note syllables in the first song phrase (see Appendix S1 ).

The results indicated that, before thinning, most trees concentrated in the DBH range of 5–20 cm, reflecting a clear trend of smaller trees being predominant in the overall stand.

Notably, we observed a clear trend: as the temperature in the hot phase increased, more dipeptide fragments were produced and fewer signals from isomer 1 were observed, suggesting facilitated conversion of the isomer to the authentic peptide with external heating.

Examination of IIV percentage by consumption group—population subsets based on total annual Medicare expenditures—did not reveal a clear trend.

Nationality and area of residence had a significant time interaction term but did not show a clear trend (Table S.3 a).

There is a clear trend in terms of potential inhibition of SE bacteria and biofilm growth: the OD rises with the increase in composite complexity.

Although we did not see the formation of the full parallel G-triplex, the simulation shows a clear trend to form cross-hairpin structures between two consecutive G-tracts and parallel G-hairpins.

In this study, the prevalence of AG in patients aged 18-49, 50-69, and ≥ 70 years was 19.47%, 32.98%, and 36.39%, respectively, showing a clear trend of increasing with age.

As shown in Figure 2 , time elapsed since receipt of last vaccine dose had no significant impact on SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA loads in the URT for either BA.1 or BA.2, although a clear trend towards higher viral loads with time since vaccination was evident for BA.2 but not for BA.1.

For the overall performance, measured as the median score over all movement sequences, we did not find a clear trend.

The PCA scores of all the samples showed that the samples within the groups could be clustered together and there was a clear trend of separation among the three groups of samples, and the variances of PC1 and PC2 were 70.8 and 12.4%, respectively ( Figure 3A ), which indicated that there was a difference in the metabolites in the blood of the yaks in different breeding periods.

Furthermore, si VPS34 significantly induced expression of IRF3 target genes IFNB1 , IRF7 , and CCL5 and showed a clear trend to increase CXCL10 (Fig.

In the control condition, there is a clear trend between the applied O 3 :TOC ratio and log-removal of each indicator.

Finally, despite a continuing overreliance on the simple cause-effect model, a clear trend exists toward the development and testing of more sophisticated models of work stress and alcohol use.

Four of seven machines show a clear trend that offset increases with off‐isocenter distance.

The qBRM images of the AD cases, specifically for collagen of the adventitia, showed a clear trend of increased disorder for each step further in AD progression.

This is contrasting with a clear trend towards no change in confidence in non-scientific activities, or even a decrease in that confidence.

There was a clear trend towards the association between the total number of COVID-19 cases on the start date of mandated social distancing and the highest number of new COVID-19 cases per day when plotted on a logarithmic scale using a scatter plot ( Fig. 4 ).

Interestingly, while no changes were observed in root fresh or dry weight ( Figure 3 B and Figure S1 ), there was a clear trend (although not statistically significant) in the shoot and total plant fresh weight at 25 mM and 175 mM NaCl versus control.

2 D), and signature scores displayed a clear trend of increasing expression with age ( Fig. 2 E).
