“a decreasing trend”

The BTEX degradation efficiencies revealed a decreasing trend with increasing AFRs.

The seasonal distribution of malaria admissions in the study area changed considerably and exhibited a decreasing trend over time with an abrupt increase observed in 2008.

On the other hand, while non-normalized GHR levels exhibited a decreasing trend with age normalization by NF changed this profile and an increasing tendency in GHR mRNA amounts was observed, although it did not achieve statistical significance.

Results Neonatal, infant, and under-5 mortality rates showed a decreasing trend between 1995 and 2011, declining from 17.84, 31.95, and 40.17 in 1995 to 10.56, 15.31, and 18.67, respectively, in 2011 (Fig. 2 ).

However, another study reported an increasing trend in the frequency of Pi after three months and a decreasing trend after six months.

The conductance represents an increase with the increase of the applied frequency up to 900 kHz and is followed by a decreasing trend in its values which means this trend is slowed down with the change of capacitance from positive values to negative values at higher values of the frequency such as 1, 3, 5 MHz. 3.4.3.

A decreasing trend in the average diameter of the nanofiber was observed as the ratio of MgO was increased, as shown in Figure 2 .

Low magnification images using confocal microscopy confirmed the results by showing that there were more cells attached on new surfaces than aged surfaces and that there was a decreasing trend with age. 2.4.

Furthermore, the results showed a decreasing trend of bond strength with an increasing proportion of each BAG added.

A decreasing trend was observed in graphitic carbon for all the KOH-activated ACFs after steam reactivation, whereas an opposite trend was observed in carbon bonded to oxygen-containing functions.

For the Cu addition >6%, the hardness values showed a decreasing trend, but were still higher than the Al-Si base metal.

It is evident that J str showed a decreasing trend with increasing chloride concentration.

On the other hand, the interior strain obtained by the FBG sensor shows a decreasing trend as in the case of the previous experiment.

However, when the first-step crosslinking reaction lasted for 48 h, both the drug-loading and encapsulation efficiency showed a decreasing trend which were lower than the conditions stated above.

The status of high-risk sexual behaviors, syphilis and HIV infections in Uganda at the time of the study shows a decreasing trend in the prevalence of the above determinants among the 15–24 year-old young women from the pre-HPV vaccine introduction period to post-HPV vaccine period.

Furthermore, the tensile modulus has a decreasing trend with increasing SEBS-g-MA.

Generally, the LCTE values of BF/Talc/HDPE composites showed a decreasing trend as the BF loading level increased.

The pore sizes of L121-, P123-, and F127-treated MBGs ranged from 4–16, 1–10, and 1–8 nm with a decreasing trend ( d 50 = 8.7 nm, d 50 = 4.0 nm, and d 50 = 4.1 nm for the L121-, P123- and F127-treated MBG powders).

The cement paste with admixture contents between 1.2% and 3.6% showed a decreasing trend in alkalinity with days of curing, and their alkalinity were even much lower than that of control samples after curing for 14 days (see Figure 10 ).

For IQE values, 420 and 380 nm wavelength samples came in the 2nd and 3rd position, respectively, which showed a decreasing trend of potential barrier height around these V-pits.

Lastly, the number of yearly RRI also showed a decreasing trend between 2008 and 2015 ( Fig 3B , n = 6).

Soil invertase and acid phosphatase activities showed a decreasing trend in CR model compared with the MR model in all of the layers examined, but the differences were not statistically significant ( p > 0.05).

In contrast to smoking and obesity, Fig 5 shows that the prevalence of hypertension varied less between men and women and showed a decreasing trend after 2001 for both sexes, i.e. from 24.8 and 26.7 to 17.2 and 16.3 for men and women, respectively.

Yet recent studies indicate wide global variation in the prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (AR), and eczema, with a growing trend in developing countries and a plateau or even a decreasing trend in developed countries [ 6 ].

When δ = 1.5, the success rate of the pathway-based distance score has a decreasing trend, indicating that high correlation between genes makes it harder to identify the correct number of clusters when there is a big difference between the true classes.
