“a decreasing trend”

Therefore, the thickness of the concrete slab designed by the two fatigue models presents a decreasing trend with the increase in base layer thickness and subgrade strength.

It can be seen that the increase in CS from 2200 mm/min to 2800 mm/min results in a decreasing trend in kw , whereas the increase in AC up to a certain level results in an augmented kw and then decreases with an increase in AC.

The equivalent damping ratio and equivalent stiffness generally show a decreasing trend and energy consumption gradually decreases.

Similar to Figure 4 , it can be seen that there are a large number of nuclei in the early stage and the grain size also has a decreasing trend with the increase in Ar pressure.

29 , 30 As far as the pressure effect is concerned, for β-FeSe, T c increases (8.5 to 36.7 K under an applied P of 8.9 GPa) and then decreases at higher P followed by a decreasing trend, which is associated with the remarkable decrease in volume of the unit cell.

The percentage of smoking cessation has increased significantly and a decreasing trend in smoking prevalence, especially among men was estimated [ 27 , 28 ].

A decreasing trend was also observed in the Δelasticity index with increasing BED; however, the correlation was not significant ( p = 0.055).

Escherichia coli counts by both sequence and culture data increased significantly in the presence of reduced bacterial load and a decreasing trend of microbiome richness and diversity.

An effective correlation observed for target with outputs having value close to R = 1, a decreasing trend in gradient index with error near zero.

From March 13 onward, a decreasing trend was observed for both variables until the week of August 2 to 8, 2020.

A decreasing trend was observed in the number of cases of the disease, with two peaks appearing in 2008 and 2012 ( Figure 1 ).

Interestingly, all of the livers with sLC in perfusate had decreasing bile lactate levels at all NMP time points except the initial time points in the livers numbered 5, 6, and 7l however, among nLC livers, only 1 (number 8) had a bile lactate level lower than 2.2 mmol/L at the end of NMP despite a decreasing trend that was seen in 2 livers (numbers 8 and 10).

The Z -statistic can be calculated by: (13) Z = { S − 1 V a r ( S ) S > 0 0 S = 0 S + 1 V a r ( S ) S < 0 A positive value of Z represents an increasing trend and a negative value of Z represents a decreasing trend.

Plasma PK Linearity Analysis As the NCA-estimated CL showed a decreasing trend with increasing dose, plasma PK linearity was assessed using a power model and ANOVA.

The ETR, calculated for each electrode according to the functionalization sequence, exhibited a decreasing trend, with CEA/SM/Ab/GZ-PYSE/PE demonstrated the lowest ETR among all the electrodes (3.48 × 10 −5 cm/s), endorsing that its faradaic process was the slowest among all the electrodes owing to the bulky Ab-CEA immuno-complex on the electrode surface 57 .

Contrary to the western part, the water resources in the eastern part have shown a decreasing trend ( 18 ).

All models also project a decreasing trend in dry deposition rates in north-western United States, west Canada, and central Asian regions; however, for these locations, the projected sign of the change in wet deposition rates is different between the CMIP5 and CMIP6 models.

During the 29-year time period, we also observed a decreasing trend of all-cause median death rate of all European countries, with a total reduction of 40.6% (Fig. 3 ).

The sensory scores of the shrimp heads showed a decreasing trend as the storage time increased, and the decreasing trend was slow as the storage temperature decreased, except for the samples stored at −18 °C.

In addition, the sheet resistance of the LIG demonstrated a decreasing trend from 51.6 ± 2.0 Ω sqr –1 (LIG30%) to 36.9 ± 2.6 Ω sqr –1 (LIG60%) with the increase of laser power over the range of 30–60%, while a further increase of laser power led to an apparent increase in sheet resistance to 55.8 ± 1.4 Ω sqr –1 (LIG100%).

A decreasing trend of CSF Aβ42 was found in patients with more severe anaemia.

Compared with the control group, CDR patients with or without IBS-type symptoms had a decreasing trend in the abundance of Bacteroidetes , but there were no statistically significant differences.

Our findings confirm previous studies with smaller study populations that also reported high timeliness, up to 95%, of first vaccine doses scheduled in the first year of life, with a decreasing trend for subsequent doses and vaccines given after the age of 1, and proportions between 22% and 87% of children with at least one delayed vaccination compared to 80% in our study [5] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] .

Of the 23 statistically significant results, five had an increasing and 18 a decreasing trend.

We find a decreasing trend with more waves detected for lower values of B = ∣ B IMF ∣, for B ranging between 10 nT and 50 nT, as shown in Fig. 4 b.
