“a decreasing trend”

There seemed to be a decreasing trend of transcription levels from the samples fixed for 10 s to samples fixed for 30 s or longer, yet the effect was insignificant (Figure Additional file 5 : S5 A–C).

For gamma activity, an opposite effect can be observed: in both the pre- and post-stimulus period, a decreasing trend is present ( Fig 2 ).

Such a decreasing trend for the CV has also been observed in humans previously, wherein shorter intervals have larger CVs than longer ones ( Wearden and Lejeune, 2008 ).

The expression of MHC class II ( Supplementary Figure S1 ) followed a decreasing trend similar to MHC class I, whereas expression of CD86 and CD80 showed increasing levels with MOI ( Supplementary Figure S2 ).

In fact, although with a decreasing trend, inactivity is the most frequent behavior in the study sample [ 36 ].

Figure 11 ) for a given distance x from the closest fault clearly shows a decreasing trend with increasing value of x .

Nonetheless, the GLP-1 levels at 72 h in both the cell medium and the cell lysates were almost equivalent to those at 48 h and even showed a decreasing trend ( Fig. 2A and B ), which may be due to the severe serious injury induced by 72 h of exposure to palmitate ( Fig. 1A and B ; increased apoptosis and decreased cell viability).

The M +1 (one 13 C substitution, m / z 199 (C2–C5)) fragment which indicates lactate and pyruvate cycling and turnover (pyruvate carboxylase (PC) activity) [ 24 ] ( Figure 1 C), demonstrated a decreasing trend with a slight but significant corresponding decrease in flux at the 10mM fructose concentration.

A decreasing trend in cardiovascular disease mortality compared with an increased mortality from ill-defined causes was observed in the last decades in the city of Rio de Janeiro, suggesting that these cardiovascular deaths may have been included among the poorly defined causes [ 17 , 42 ].

Light Chain Multiple Myeloma patients show positive linear correlation coefficients for sCD138 and involved FLC, as opposed to Intact Immunoglobulin Multiple Myeloma patients, in which sCD138 levels show a decreasing trend when compared to involved FLCs (Figure 1 ).

The mean enjoyment score was moderately positive and exhibited a decreasing trend over the intervention period.

In terms of amount of cigarettes smoked, there was a decreasing trend from 17, 15, and 12 cigarettes daily (SD: 6.7, 4.6, 11.9, respectively) on average, representing those who are not ready to quit within six months, thinking about quitting within six months, and those ready to quit now, respectively, but this was not statistically different across the three categories.

Testing decisions follow rainfall, which varies little between years but has very distinct seasonal patterns within a year ( Supplemental Figure 1 ), but treatment decisions follow monthly fever cases, which exhibit similar seasonality but a decreasing trend over time in some districts ( Supplemental Figure 2 ).

Figure 4 shows a decreasing trend over the last 3000 generations, with an increasingly steeper slope since approximately 100 generations ago but a period of increase from 550 to 100 generations ago.

The incidence of chromosomal aberrations exhibited a decreasing trend, which was probably related to the introduction of advanced noninvasive prenatal diagnostic methodology with subsequent induced abortion [ 37 ].

Improvement in clinical outcomes after the CT-guided injection therapy showed a decreasing trend in the subjects with reduced ADC of the affected nerve root, compared to the unaffected side.

The highest k-value was for the C3-4 disc level, and the lowest for the C5-6 level, suggesting a decreasing trend from C3-4 to C6-7 ( Fig. 5 ).

lycopersicum after 2 weeks of CL and after 4 weeks, the P N values were 7.6 and 4.4 μmol CO 2 m -2 s -1 in 12 and 24-h photoperiodic treatments, respectively showing an increasing trend in P N in control plants and a decreasing trend in 24-h photoperiodic plants ( Matsuda et al., 2014 ).

The analysis of the time series of aerobiological data from the United Kingdom, the longest of the world, showed a decreasing trend in terms of yearly grass pollen counts and severity of pollen season and an earlier start of the season.

compared the normalized maximum isometric strength of knee extension between different age groups and found there was a decreasing trend with advancing of age 28 ) .

While the rate of death due to RTA had an incremental rate in age group 18-30 years and among women, it had a decreasing trend in age groups 35-45, under18 and among men.

With respect to the evolution of the frequency of vomiting, although it was more irregular, there was also a decreasing trend (Figure 3 ).

Our results showed a decreasing trend in T1ρ values of both NP and AF with the increase of Pfirrmann grade, and the association between T1ρ values of NP and AF and Pfirrmann grade was significant ( r =−0.69, P <0.001; r =−0.45, P <0.001), which is in agreement with previous reports that T1ρ values of AF decline significantly over disc degeneration [ 9 ] and that T1ρ values of NP are moderately correlated with Pfirrmann grade I–V disks of patients with low back pain [ 6 ].

Results Most lab values showed a decreasing trend over time in the expected amount of novel information they contained.

Since 2000, HIV incidence steadily increased and reached levels comparable with those in the mid-1980s by 2005, followed by a decreasing trend to 590 (400, 780) new infections in 2011.
