Industrial hemp ( Cannabis sativa L.) seed pre-treatments with high levels of GA 3 (500 and 1000 mg/L) were associated with a decreasing trend in germination, but a positive effect on early growth responses was observed [ 36 ].

Despite the fact that no statistical difference was found in northern China ( p = 0.279, Figure 3 and Figure S7 ), the metronidazole resistance showed a decreasing trend in the last 10 years, from 71% (95% CI: 63–78%) in 2006–2010 to 62% (95% CI: 57–67%) in 2016–2020.

Furthermore, sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) exhibited a decreasing trend ( Figure 7 e and Figure S5 ).

On the other hand, the concentration of other endogenous antioxidant markers, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH), and lipid oxidation markers, such as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), did not show any significant difference between the intervention and control groups, despite a decreasing trend observed for SOD in the intervention group.

Moreover, with the increase in pore size, the periodic time and periodic release of the system for gas transport show a decreasing trend as a whole under the same flow rate.

The average profile plots of the eight lung functions at each period showed a decreasing trend for all lung functions ( Figure 1 b,c).

We also observed a decreasing trend in 5mC level in HEK293 cells treated with MBP, which was not associated with cell death (Fig. 3 ), implying that BPA metabolites as well as MBP may influence global DNA methylation level in mammalian cell.

Although the IAA-ASP content showed a decreasing trend as the AAWE treatment concentration increased, it still presented a significant enhancement compared to the blank control group.

Cluster 4 had 2,383 proteins correspond to 1,296 genes, and their expression levels exhibited first a decreasing trend and then increase with age ( Figure 1C ).

82 However, the incidence of esophageal cancer showed a decreasing trend, even though a contrary study reported that Africa, including Ethiopia, is expected to surpass the incidence of Europe. 82 In the same context, the incidence of kidney cancer showed a rising trend in this study.

found an increasing trend between 2003 and 2014 while this study found a decreasing trend.

Presently, pedestrian crashes in developed countries indicate a decreasing trend due to the ongoing investment in road safety research programs and countermeasures ( Buehler and Pucher, 2021 , Rifaat et al., 2017a , Tulu et al., 2013 ).

Microarrays and RNA-seq cohorts also validated a decreasing trend of DUSP1 at mRNA levels in OVCA tissues via a large sample size ( n of OVCA = 936, n of non-tumour = 214), which was also observed in peripheral blood of OVCA patients ( n of OVCA = 74, n of healthy women = 47).

In general, the majority of RgHDZ gene expressions were up-regulated in response to abiotic stresses like heat, salt, and drought; however, the majority of RgHDZ gene expressions exhibited a decreasing trend in response to pathogenic fungal infestation. 3.

In Taiwan, a decreasing trend of PCDD/Fs or dioxin-like PCBs (dl-PCBs) was observed in meat, dairy, eggs, and vegetables, whereas an elevated trend was observed in cereals or the levels were nearly equal in fruits and oils at alternative time shift.

On the contrary, the domestic tourism flow in some individual cities has shown a decreasing trend, especially in Suihua City.

The influence of the scientific research level showed a decreasing trend, with an average annual decrease of 1.70% and q-values fluctuating between 0.3715–0.5989, and the q-value of this factor was still relatively high compared to other factors.

The stiffness of the C22 phage showed a decreasing trend as the temperature increased (Fig. 4 ).

RT-qPCR analysis also showed a decreasing trend of GLI2 and PTCH2 expression in Oxy210-treated samples; however, no statistically significance could be assigned comparing to those of the control group (Fig. 6 B).

Figure 11 shows that the loss value changes significantly and has a decreasing trend, indicating that ANN gradually converges and tends to be stable.

In the present study, the accuracy of the estimated R value largely depended on whether all infected cases were identified. Therefore, the R value estimation might have been biased, because a large number of infected cases might have not been identified. On the other hand, asymptomatic cases were not referred for testing, and as a result, the value of R might have been underestimated. Although a decreasing trend was observed in the value of R in late November, the results of those restrictions and the observance of health protocols could not be examined in this study, as more time is required to review the results of the abovementioned restrictions.
