“a decreasing trend”

Activities by age The results in Table 6 demonstrate a decreasing trend in the amount of energy expended on leisure time physical activities with increasing age.

Sleep duration has shown a decreasing trend in the past century, reflecting changing lifestyles. 61 In our study, the age-specific recommendations were met by 7.5% of Estonian children up to 82.2% of Belgian children.

44 Our data confirmed a decreasing trend of C22:5n-3 with age in girls but we found C18:2n-6 to increase with age and no age dependence for C20:4n-6.

These concentrations increased regularly over time for the D-H 2 O, and ADB treatments, reaching maximum levels at the conclusion of the experiment, showed a decreasing trend with time in the CaCO 3 and FCB treatments, apparently due to reprecipitation.

The present study also recorded a decreasing trend in the macrofauna standing stock from the WM to the CM and EM basins, the only exception being the evident drop along the Balearic slope area (WM-1).

The maximum phenolic yield was obtained after 4 days of cultivation (73 mg gallic acid equivalents/ 100 g) which is a decreasing trend, thereafter compared to other edible mushroom species such as beefsteak fungus ( Ribeiro et al. , 2007 ).

Numerous studies show a decreasing trend in Paw plat and Paw peak after ARS, as well as an increased compliance after successful alveolar recruitment [ 10 , 13 , 24 , 25 ].

This was a decreasing trend in barren lands with −2489.14 hectares, coastal zone which was −150.66 hectares, and agricultural lands which were −148.70 hectares.

The curve ((Measured F 8 )/ F i ) has a non-constant value versus current density, presenting a decreasing trend as the current density increases, which can be explained by the nonlinear behavior of (Measured F 8 ) and by the uncertainties of the instrumentation used and of the magnetic properties of materials.

In addition, results showed that coping strategies in two groups were changed, but this variation in treatment group was increased after intervention, while in the control group had a decreasing trend.

2A-F ), except the peritoneum, which did show a decreasing trend but was not statistically significant compared to RD (Fig. 2A ).

There was a decreasing trend in the number of positive samples between 1999 and 2002 followed by an increase that peaked in 2006 and then decreased again.

In addition, the K:L ratios in L ev +K hybrid co-cultures also showed a decreasing trend, implying that the L ev strains became dominant in the hybrid co-cultures.

C3-20 showed a rapid decrease directly after the pulse, remained at a constant level and showed a decreasing trend after about 2 h and 30 min.

Over this 3-year period, there was a decreasing trend in the annual number of specimens tested; 58.2% of the total specimens were tested in 2010, compared with 17.6% in 2012.

There was an upward trend from 2004 to 2005, a decreasing trend from 2005 to 2010, then a slowing upward trend from 2010 to 2013.

[16] , NSW demonstrated an increasing trend until 2005–2006, followed by a decreasing trend to 2009.

Recent studies have indicated a decreasing trend of total mercury (THg) concentration in sediments with distance away from the PRE and toward the South China Sea [8] and showed an accelerated input of THg in sediment cores in recent decades [9] .

A total of nine groups of soil water profiles are recognized but those with low-level soil water content and a decreasing trend are not present in the Sanyanjing catchment.

A decreasing trend was observed in cell viability along with a rising trend in apoptosis, with significant differences with 400, 800, and 1,000 μg/mL doses compared with the control group.

The numbers of kisspeptin neurons were uncountable because of the unclear boundary of the individual neurons, but we observed a decreasing trend of granular kisspeptin immunoreactivity in the ARC of the stress group.

Thus, if atmospheric deposition was a sole input pathway for PAHs, relative abundance of HMW PAHs would present a decreasing trend towards sea.

There is a decreasing trend in precipitation from the southeastern coastal to the northwestern inland area, and the average annual precipitation differs significantly from place to place ( Figure S3 ).

Thus, a further reason for a decreasing trend in suicidal feelings among Norwegian doctors might lie in their work conditions.

In addition, our results indicated that CS exposure did not affect the levels of proliferating cells in both tissues as indicated by the proportions of Ki67-stained cells (despite a decreasing trend of Ki67-stained cells upon CS exposure in both tissues).
