A decreasing trend was also observed in the evaluation of ductility ( Figure 3 a).

All properties exhibited a decreasing trend under the application of high curing temperatures, and the decrease in the crosslink density per unit content of filler with an increase in curing temperature was shown to be greater in carbon black than in silica.

3D surface contour plots ( Figure S3 ) indicated that phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity in WB hydrolysates showed a decreasing trend with increasing temperature levels ( Figure S3b,d ).

The European Surveillance of Antibiotic Consumption Network data in 2017 reported that in 10 out of 25 countries, consumption of carbapenems among humans increased since 2012, while only one country (Portugal) showed a decreasing trend during the same period ( https://ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications-data/summary-latest-data-antibiotic-consumption-eu-2017 ).

When GNP content increased to 3 wt % and 5 wt %, a decreasing trend of flexural strength of the nanocomposites was observed due to the weak adherence between the surface of epoxy resin matrix and non-functionalized GNP used in this study, which prevent the load transfer from matrix to GNP.

The fatty acid content and n-3/n-6 ratio showed a decreasing trend with increasing H. illucens larva meal inclusion.

The elastic modulus of the SiO 2 -based ceramic core shows a decreasing trend when the temperature is increased.

Similarly, reports from the Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey indicated a decreasing trend of open defecation: 81.9% in 2000, 61.9% in 2005, 38.3% in 2011, and 32.9% in 2016 [ 6 – 9 ].

In contrast, the content of SA in the heat-sensitive maize variety showed a decreasing trend after heat stress, and the largest decrease, which was 83.69% below the control group, occurred after applying heat stress during the V12 stage.

C f shows a decreasing trend of the negative index with an increase in effective stress and is highly positively correlated with the average permeability loss rate.

It can be seen from Figure 1 that with the increase in NaCl concentration in the NaCl–SDS composite solution, the surface tension and contact angle show a decreasing trend, which indicates that adding a certain amount of inorganic salt to the surfactant can improve the surface activity of the surfactant.

The admission profiles were similar among the three periods, apart from a decreasing trend in proportions of emergency and severe admissions (see Table S1 in Additional file 1 ).

At pH 4.0 (acid condition), a decreasing trend in ion release with a steep slope was seen until day 3, whereas at pH 5.5 the slope of this decrease was gentle up to day 5, due to the lower acidity of the test solution.

[ 24 ] applied the Mann-Kendall test to analyze the changes of CI and PCI in the Jharkhand state of India, and showed that the PCI values had a decreasing trend in eastern and northeastern parts of the study area, while CI varied irregularly and daily heavy rains had occurred over the study area in the period of 1971 to 2011.
