“a decreasing trend”

It was found that with an increasing EG/P content, a decreasing trend in the flexural and compressive strength was observed.

With the anhydrous compounds, a decreasing trend in melting temperatures was observed in conjunction with an increase in the alkylidene chain lengths, as the highest melting point (223 °C) was determined for 2 and the lowest (175 °C) for 10 .

In agreement to our observations, a decreasing trend in the phenolic contents during ripening was also reported in high bush blueberries [ 27 , 28 ].

Interestingly, we observed a decreasing trend in the mean time to revision every year from 2003 onwards.

In the present study, it was observed that as ABA was increased from 2 to 6 μM the stomatal conductance and net photosynthesis showed a decreasing trend.

Analogues with mono-substituted aromatic rings, even with hydroxyl or methoxy groups, followed a decreasing trend in terms of FRAP values.

When the feed molar ratio of BLG-NCA/HAP-NH 2 was increased to 20/1, the diffraction peak broadening was accompanied by a decrease in peak intensity; this phenomenon was clear evidence of a decreasing trend in crystallinity [ 21 ].

From Table 1 , we can see that when the Lac-OCA/initiator molar ratio was 150 the molecular weight is up to highest and a decreasing trend was shown either higher or lower than 150.

However, the open-field cultivated grape berries showed a decreasing trend on the expression of VvF3'H from véraison through ripening, and then was recovered at the post-maturity period.

The %CFB was not statistically significant (p = 0.0590) at Day 60 although a decreasing trend was observed.

After 0.2%, the quantity of α-pinene, 3-carene, and limonene released exhibited a decreasing trend.

A decreasing trend in the physical activity level is in fact characterizing the present unsustainable lifestyle of large strata of the western population, also because individualized dieting and exercise programs implemented within public health interventions have not always succeeded in reaching their targets (see for example Catenacci et al., 2009 ).

There was a decreasing trend of children provided with treatment for malaria in the period under review.

In the following months she showed a decreasing trend of BCR-ABL1 levels, with acquisition of DMR and, at the last follow-up, 50 months after imatinib discontinuation, she is in MR 5.0 with undetectable disease.

However, the annual number of IPN outbreaks (including both freshwater and seawater environment) shows a decreasing trend over the last years, probably connected to widespread use of IPN-resistant salmon strains and a targeted effort to eradicate “house strains” of the IPN virus in hatcheries (unpublished work).

Following the summer months in 2012, the number of recruited reads, the number of proteins the reads matched, and the amino acid identity of the matches showed a decreasing trend, with potential increases reoccurring during summer months ( Fig. 5 ), a period when blooms of A. flos-aquae are most likely to happen.

show a similar pattern of incidence but report a decreasing trend among men [ 8 ].

If τ is greater than zero and statistically significant, there is an increasing trend; if τ is less than zero and statistically significant, there is a decreasing trend.

CD14 cells exhibited a decreasing trend, with a significant decrease at 9 and 18 dpi when compared to the UC.

baumannii presented a decreasing trend during the disease course (Fig. 4a and b ).

In the studied period, we observed a decreasing trend of the number of bladder tumors in the rural area and an increasing trend in the urban area ( Fig. 3 ).

Despite a decreasing trend in methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), there is emergence and rapid expansion of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing K. pneumoniae coupled with fluoroquinolone resistance observed in this study.

Likewise, a decreasing trend in DNA methylation was observed among the CpG sites within the ND6 , and the HSP and LSP regions from the early stage (Fig. 2 ), which could potentially contribute to the active binding of the mtDNA replication factors to mtDNA, as is the case for POLG where it has been shown that the methylation status of exon 2 is associated with the binding of RNA polymerase II [ 19 ].

In all previous years, there was either no trend or a decreasing trend.

A decreasing trend was registered in esophageal cancer in F and of gastric cancer (GC) in both genders.
