pneumoniae (from 1.8% in 2014 to 11.7% in 2018); (c) the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is still one of the highest in Europe (38.1%); (d) while a decreasing trend has been concomitantly observed with vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) and, in particular, Enterococcus faecium (from 20.3% in 2015 to 4.4% in 2018) [ 11 ].

The complex viscosity has a decreasing trend with frequency, similar to a shear thinning fluid, if the Cox-Merz rule was supposed to hold ( Figure 1 b, curve A).

In our study, although not statistically significant, a decreasing trend in compliance rate was seen throughout the program, which could potentially explain the reduced improvement.

The percentage of gait bouts follow a decreasing trend in each group as bout length increases.

As regards Figure 6 c,d, the μ′ curves fluctuate between 1.16 and 1.02, while the μ′′ curves show a decreasing trend from 0.218 to 0.009.

A decreasing trend of the pore size with the chain length of the organic in the size of the functional groups is not observed.

A decreasing trend was also observed in the evaluation of ductility ( Figure 3 a).

All properties exhibited a decreasing trend under the application of high curing temperatures, and the decrease in the crosslink density per unit content of filler with an increase in curing temperature was shown to be greater in carbon black than in silica.

3D surface contour plots ( Figure S3 ) indicated that phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity in WB hydrolysates showed a decreasing trend with increasing temperature levels ( Figure S3b,d ).

The European Surveillance of Antibiotic Consumption Network data in 2017 reported that in 10 out of 25 countries, consumption of carbapenems among humans increased since 2012, while only one country (Portugal) showed a decreasing trend during the same period ( https://ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications-data/summary-latest-data-antibiotic-consumption-eu-2017 ).

When GNP content increased to 3 wt % and 5 wt %, a decreasing trend of flexural strength of the nanocomposites was observed due to the weak adherence between the surface of epoxy resin matrix and non-functionalized GNP used in this study, which prevent the load transfer from matrix to GNP.

The fatty acid content and n-3/n-6 ratio showed a decreasing trend with increasing H. illucens larva meal inclusion.

The elastic modulus of the SiO 2 -based ceramic core shows a decreasing trend when the temperature is increased.

Similarly, reports from the Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey indicated a decreasing trend of open defecation: 81.9% in 2000, 61.9% in 2005, 38.3% in 2011, and 32.9% in 2016 [ 6 – 9 ].

1 , 12 There was a decreasing trend in mean stress as age increased.

In contrast, the content of SA in the heat-sensitive maize variety showed a decreasing trend after heat stress, and the largest decrease, which was 83.69% below the control group, occurred after applying heat stress during the V12 stage.

C f shows a decreasing trend of the negative index with an increase in effective stress and is highly positively correlated with the average permeability loss rate.

It can be seen from Figure 1 that with the increase in NaCl concentration in the NaCl–SDS composite solution, the surface tension and contact angle show a decreasing trend, which indicates that adding a certain amount of inorganic salt to the surfactant can improve the surface activity of the surfactant.

The admission profiles were similar among the three periods, apart from a decreasing trend in proportions of emergency and severe admissions (see Table S1 in Additional file 1 ).
