“a decreasing trend”

This change signals the end of the surge in prescribing and the start of a decreasing trend in prescriptions.

Table 3 shows there was a decreasing trend of stillbirths among those who were referred to health institutions (heath centres and hospitals); from 91.7 to 25.1 per 100 births (Mantel-Haenszel chi-square for linear trend 40.16; P<0.001).

Monitoring of the total cell concentration of cell line 1 over storage time revealed a decreasing trend in total cell concentration for all the methods.

Our results do, however, indicate a decreasing trend.

LIYV quantification for these five constructs by RT-qPCR showed a decreasing trend for the viral RNA amount along the increased CE length, consistent with the symptom development and the immunoblot results ( Figure 5 C).

bornmuelleri venom on the levels of IL-10 in the spleen of mice A decreasing trend of IL-10 levels can be observed 6 h after injecting the mice with 1 mg/kg M. bornmuelleri venom, as compared to the control ( Fig. 6 A).

The fracture fractal dimension showed a decreasing trend with the rise of temperature, which is rational because at a lower temperature, especially lower than the glass transition temperature of the binder, the brittleness of binder is enhanced, so more transgranular and trans-particle fracture will occur; while at a higher temperature, especially higher than the glass transition temperature of the binder, the viscosity of the binder is enhanced so more intergranular and inter-particle fracture will occur.

Despite the fact that the relative density follows a decreasing trend with the increase of the ammonia flow time, it should be noted that hardness follows a growing tendency.

The optimized mechanical properties appears at 0.1 wt% CNTs content and when the CNTs content is over 3.0 wt%, the mechanical properties show a decreasing trend.

When comparing to the abundance of DEGs between two different anther development stages, the number of downregulated genes was significantly increased during anther maturation, and on the contrary, the number of upregulated genes had a decreasing trend ( Figure 4 ), implying that the genes’ expression and the activity of anther in the initial development stage are more vigorous than the later stages.

As expected, both interactions show a decreasing trend in the number of coexisting species as the number of changes in microhabitat locality increases for both local and global dispersion.

On the other hand, the second eigenvalue shows a decreasing trend, again consistent with those cases when the local average force is reduced at the end of the force recording period.

While trends in the incidences of congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) remained stable in Taiwan (2004–2011) [ 28 ], a decreasing trend (−31%) was reported in Glasgow (UK) (1980–1997) [ 10 ].

In the present study, we set January 2006 as a cut-off time point and we observed that PFHxS concentration did not change before and after January 2006, whereas PFOS concentration showed a decreasing trend during both periods.

From 2000 to 2014, well water usage follows a decreasing trend, with the first 4 years reporting usage above 100 mm, and the last four years reporting usage below 80 mm ( Figure 4 b).

A decreasing trend of the signal amplitude was clearly obtained due to an increase in timber damage.

The average values of the FSR for the corresponding MZI were about 20.7 nm, 17.1 nm, 16.6 nm and 15.9 nm, respectively, which shows a decreasing trend with the increase of the MMF length.

In this study, a decreasing trend when incubated for at least 3 days and firstly increasing for 6 days and then gradually decreasing trend when applied on barbeque sausage.

Results indicated the presence of low amount of this human transcript at each time point, with a decreasing trend from day 8 to day 21 ( Fig 11 ).

Variations in song phrase transitions indicated a decreasing trend in deafened birds compared with intact birds, as a reduction of the total number of unique syllables was observed following auditory deprivation (Fig. 5a ).

The TB incidence in Nanshan showed a decreasing trend in the 25–34 and 35–44 age groups, with the greatest annual decrease (13.3%) in the 15–24 group.

In summary, with increasing chain length a decreasing trend can be observed for the PNEC values of the perfluorinated sulfonic acids as well as for the perfluorinated carboxylic acids with one exception (PFPeA).

Although there was a decreasing trend in risk ratios, the 99% confidence intervals were wide and overlapping.

The upper limbs were the most commonly injured body part followed by the lower limbs in all age groups, but this showed a decreasing trend with age: 46.4% in 0–1 year olds, 42.5% in 2–3 year olds, and 31.6% in 4–5 year olds.

The smoothed data (red lines, based on the 10-year running average, with a sampling proportion = 0.18) for TN10 and TX10 showed a decreasing trend, with fluctuations, but with a predominantly upward trend after the 1990s (Fig. 1 ).
