3 (b) shows that the VRR follows a decreasing trend along with an increase in temperature, with the curve gap tightening between 6 and 12 mins.

Another analysis, including children aged 8–15 years, did not identify an impact over and above a decreasing trend in exposure.

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis and peak fitting technology were applied to quantitatively characterize the changes in the structural parameters of coal molecules. The results showed that after modification, the structural parameters like aromatic carbon fraction ( f a–F ), aromaticity ( I 1 and I 2 ), degree of condensation ( DOC 1 and DOC 2 ), and the maturity of organic matter (“ C ”) gradually increased with increasing exposure times, while the length of the aliphatic chain or its branching degree ( CH 2 / CH 3 ) and the hydrocarbon generating capacity (“ A ”) showed a decreasing trend.

The adhesion strength of the hydrate-like IML shows a decreasing trend with the increase of concentration of guest molecules in the IML.

Some studies have described a decreasing trend in the prevalence of hepatitis B among young people and an increasing trend among the elderly [ 20 – 22 ].

Profiles 3 and 4 were significant, and profile 4 had an increasing trend, profile 0 had a decreasing trend, and profiles 1, 2, and 3 showed a change in trend at different stages ( Figure 2E ).
