“a decreasing trend”

At the same time, there are two different hypotheses as to the shape of the trajectory of these changes—either an increasing trend is assumed, or first an increasing and then a decreasing trend [ 1 , 3 ].

The shoot sheaths stored at both 25°C and 4°C showed a decreasing trend in the order of the respiration rate from the bottom > middle > upper plant parts, which was probably due to their different degrees of development.

Another work showed a decreasing trend in modulus, as specimen width is decreased to 0.4 mm [51] .

Temporally, the interannual data shows that the annual average concentration of O 3 shows an increasing trend during the observation period, while the concentration of other atmospheric pollutants (i.e., PM 10 , PM 2.5 , SO 2 , NO x , and CO) exhibits a decreasing trend, fluctuating from year to year.

In mice, Dapl1 deletion induced a decreasing trend in the pituitary mRNA expression of the gonadotropin-related protein.

In the future models, in most of the modelled ports, the predicted survival rate values show a decreasing trend between 2041-2060 and 2061–2080, and along with the increasing level of warming between rcp2.6 and rcp8.5.

Nationally, a decreasing trend was observed in the proportion of parents citing other reasons (ie, not recommended, lack of knowledge, and not sexually active).

A decreasing trend was observed in the proportions of volunteers and nonvolunteers as their income levels increased, and this was statistically significant ( P = .014) as shown in the Chi‐square for trends analysis (linear by linear association test).

In contrast, the genome size of cetaceans ranged from 2.4 to 2.6 Gb and displayed a decreasing trend compared to Ruminantia (∼2.8 Gb in reindeer, cattle, and goat), their most closely related lineage ( Fig. 2 B ).

In addition, soybean oil showed a decreasing trend of mortality with increasing oil dosage.

The incidence of natural focal diseases was high between September and December each year, with an increasing trend from September, a peak in November, and a decreasing trend afterward (Fig. 1 a).

Time plots showed a decreasing trend in all tests.

After taking the appropriate therapy, eosinophil levels showed a decreasing trend, as shown in Figure 4 .

Meanwhile, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes and Chloroflexi in four treatments showed a decreasing trend.

In this study, we found clear evidence that water retention capacity in Zhangjiakou fluctuated from 2000 to 2015, with a decreasing trend.

It was logical that there was still a weak positive correlation between the hospitalization rate and the number of beds (Spearman’s RHO = 0.4101; p = 0.0580): the weakness of the correlation attested a decreasing trend in inappropriate hospitalizations in the various regions.

Formaldehyde also exhibited a decreasing trend that approached borderline significance [ 17 ].

The main phytochemical properties displayed a decreasing trend over the maturity throughout the development of fruit parts.

Although no significant differences were observed in the b-phot amplitude, indicating no modifications in retinal activity of cones, and flickers (FL), a decreasing trend in its amplitude secondary to treatment with L-NAME could be extracted from our results.

Our study clearly showed a decreasing trend of SAVI across Wadi Hagul during 2013, 2015, and 2020.

With the increase in Alg content, the swelling ratio of the scaffold presented a decreasing trend, indicating that the hydrophilic swelling performance of the scaffold decreased.

None of the “plant extracts” tested [OPT, PP, and MT] showed significant changes, even if the mixture of Manuka and Tea oils [MT] showed a decreasing trend in the first test (7.12 ± 1.06 Log of NcU in [MT] vs. 7.69 ± 0.24 Log of NcU in [CTR]— Figure 3 C,D).

There was observed a decreasing trend in the notification of new TB cases and relapses both in the penitentiary and in the civil sector in 2014–2018 ( Table 2 and Figure 3 ).

The CO 2 /N 2 ideal selectivity gradually increased as the ZIF-7 content increased, showing a value of 50.43 with ZIF-7 25 wt%, and with the subsequent contents, a decreasing trend was observed.

The area of peak 3 presents a decreasing trend, indicating that the free water in the concrete decreases with the rise of silica fume replacement amount. 3.3.2.
