“a decreasing trend”

Also, the magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant ( K e ), estimated using the Néel-Brownian relaxation equation ( see SI ), shows a decreasing trend as the Fe 3−δ O 4 magnetic domain becomes larger and more coherent upon applying MH cycles (see Fig.

Although D1 showed a decreasing trend at wrist flexion with unclenched fist condition, there was no significant difference on comparing wrist flexion with the neutral wrist position ( Table 4B ).

Thus, as stated in [ 21 ], a decreasing trend in the film density with the target-to-substrate distance is observed. 4.3.

From a long-term perspective, both monitored substances show a decreasing trend.

The CEEMDAN decomposition results show that the frequency and intensity of sudden change decreased year by year and there was a decreasing trend from 2014.

Bioavailable DOC roughly followed total DOC concentrations over the year in both systems, showing a decreasing trend from the beginning of the year, and accounting for 9–52 and 6–47% of total DOC for RF and GB, respectively ( Figures 1C,D ).

From the 1981–84 to the 2006–11 cohort excess cancer mortality (SRDs) significantly increased for breast cancer in Māori females, prostate and colorectal cancers in Māori males, and there was a decreasing trend for stomach cancer in Pacific males.

ChIP assay showed that there was a decreasing trend for histone acetylation at the StAR promoter in fetal adrenal glands, whereas H3 acetyl-K14 at the YY1 promoter presented an increasing trend following nicotine exposure.

RA treatment also induced a decreasing trend in TSPO mRNA levels in cells treated with DsiRNA.

The GRACE-inferred EWH presents a decreasing trend of EWH values from southwest to northeast, which is consistent with the GLDAS-inferred EWH.

It is noteworthy that although the statistical analysis carried out for the values of the dissolution efficiency only showed significant differences for the case of a polymer percentage of 40% in the dissolution medium at pH 1.2, it is possible to see a decreasing trend in that parameter with increasing amount of the PAM-18K polymer within the tablet.

This study revealed increased GLP-1 levels and a decreasing trend in ghrelin levels; however, no effect on satiety, EE, and peptide YY levels were observed [ 47 ].

The rates of haemorrhagic stroke showed a decreasing trend between 2002–2007, and remained approximately 1.3–1.9 from 2008–2012 ( Fig 3 ).

Interestingly, we also found that the HIV prevalence characterising normative and safer sequences showed a decreasing trend over cohorts ( Fig 3 , bottom row).

Overall, a decreasing trend of retinal thickness can be observed in the graph of all animals clustered into months in Fig 5G .

From the data, a decreasing trend in porosity (%) and average pore size was evident with respect to the functionalization of the polymer scaffold.

Since the use of staplers, we observed a decreasing trend in GI complications.

Donor milk was distributed to a relatively wide range of infants in terms of age, and showed a decreasing trend as the infant’s age increased ( Table 8 ).

No statistically significant warming effects were observed on the ANPP in either of the steppe ecosystems, although a decreasing trend appeared in the desert steppe ecosystem ( Fig. 1 ).

Propionic acid also increased as the fermentation time increased from day 2 to day 12, reaching a maximum production of 21.08 ± 0.55 g/kg-TS at a percentage of 21.44 ± 0.56%, before showing a decreasing trend as the fermentation time increased.

Comparisons between two general circulation models (CSIRO and HADCM3) under both climate change scenarios (B1 and A2) for two species showed a decreasing trend in suitable habitat by 2080 as compared to the present (Appendix S6, Figs S5A–H and S6A–H).

A similar result was observed for bundled workflow ( Table 9 ), except that the average observation duration did not follow a decreasing trend.

Such an increase was largely driven by HPV-related OPC from 1983 to 2002, whereas OCC concomitantly showed a decreasing trend. 4 , 5 In general, the role of HPV infections in the pathogenesis of OCC seems to be less prominent in industrialized countries. 6 Despite the reduction in risky oral habits (ie, betel chewing, tobacco smoking, and alcohol drinking) observed between 1980 and 2010, the incidence of OCC in Taiwan is

Samples without microalgal cells exhibited initial decreases in the Ca and Mg concentrations, which subsequently stabilized; However, Fe concentration exhibited a decreasing trend with 5 g/L SMS.

Similar to the changes in the thermal pain thresholds, there appeared to be a decreasing trend in the cold pain threshold after the EA treatment ( Figure 1(b) ).
