“a decreasing trend”

After 15-min illumination, CBF + showed a decreasing trend though with no significant between-group difference ( P > 0.05).

It can be concluded that, bladder and testis also have the smallest SAF values because they are far from brain. Primary Photon Energy As shown in Figure 2 (SAF values for self-irradiation in liver, stomach, heart, kidney and pancreas) and Figure 3 (SAF values for cross-irradiation in stomach, pancreas, spleen, heart and kidney with liver as source organ), photon SAF values for self-irradiation and cross-irradiation show a decreasing trend with increasing energy in the photon energy range of 15 keV to 100 keV and 500 keV to 4000 keV.

However, the drug concentration in the CSF tended to present a decreasing trend with time, which might indicate that the permeability of the drug had declined with gradual repair of the BBB.

Therefore, a thermal model will necessarily predict a decreasing trend in the anomaly.

The HIV prevalence among the adult population (age between 15–49 years) is officially estimated at 0.20% (adult male 0.28%, adult female 0.13%), which is a decreasing trend [ 16 ].

The estimated MI incidence was 843 (1/100,000) between 2000 and 2001, and 678 (1/100,000) from 2010 to 2011, with a decreasing trend.

The mean concentration had high fluctuation, but was relatively uniform throughout the winter ( Figure 2 , C), while in summer ( Figure 2 , D) we observed a decreasing trend in the concentration of PM 2.5 and low fluctuation in almost the entire period.

GC incidence rate Cixian was observed as an increasing trend from 1988 to 2009 and then had a decreasing trend from 2009.

Patients with liver cancer showed an increasing trend for the use of medication, while patients with oral cancer showed a decreasing trend.

As shown in Appendix 1 , the resistance incidence to almost all selected antibiotics (except for linezolid and vancomycin) had a decreasing trend during the 7-year period.

Although Valter Casati et al.’s study did not find positive efficacy of low-volume ANH [ 8 ], we noticed that there was a decreasing trend of intraoperative RBC transfusions in the ANH group compared to non-ANH group (4.9% vs. 7%).

A decreasing trend was observed in age group 20–39 (AAPC 15 : -2.40; 95% CI: -4.2;-0.6).

Sensitivity to γ-irradiation showed a decreasing trend with the addition of antioxidants to E8 and KSR but the values were not statistically significant from their respective untreated controls ( Fig. 4e ).

On the other hand, the addition of OPG to the supernatant led to a decrease in osteoclast-like cells in the CBE conditioned media treated cells and a decreasing trend in the control conditioned media treated cells ( Figure 4 B).

The latter showed the ability of the developed biomass to efficiently capture (or prevent the formation of) H 2 , and although hydrogen partial pressures remained around 40%, they still showed a decreasing trend at the end of the experiment.

A recent Australian study indicated that the patterns of care for men with prostate cancer have changed over time in two other Australian states (Victoria and South Australia), with the proportion of men being treated with RP staying relatively constant over time (38.6% in 2009 to 39.7% in 2013), while an increasing use of no active treatment (from 16.2% in 2009 to 21.6% in 2013) was matched with a decreasing trend in RT use (from 25.6% in 2009 to 15.6% in 2013) [ 11 ].

ρ , shows a decreasing trend only for high values of grain radius (>0.7 mm), while at low values of grain radius is almost constant.

The 2D distribution entropy shows a decreasing trend when the scan distance reduces.

Our study showed that miR-98 expression showed a decreasing trend in DSS-induced UC colon tissues that could be reversed by HM.

When exposed to continuous heat treatment, the expression level of TaASRP1 showed a decreasing trend ( Figure 10 ).

Human activities such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation, referred to as “Suess effect”, have resulted in significantly decreasing trend in δ 13 C of atmosphere, leading to a decreasing trend in δ 13 C p since the industrial era [ 2 , 51 , 52 ].
