Correlation of Age and Refractive Error with Ocular Biometry Parameters Axial length and anterior chamber depth increased with age (r=0.43 and r=0.30, respectively; p<0.001), whereas lens thickness showed a decreasing trend with age (r=0.28) ( Figure 3 ).

Therefore, with the increase of the amount of porous gold nanospheres, the Raman peak strength showed a decreasing trend (as shown in group 5–11 of Fig. 4 ).

The relative abundance of Staphylococcaceae decreased, which was most obvious in the intestinal tract of rats in the medium-dose group ( p < 0.01), while the relative abundance of Turicibacteraceae and Corynebacteriaceae showed a decreasing trend without significant difference.

We found that, in high-income Asia-Pacific countries, such as South Korea, Japan, and Singapore, there was a slight rise of prevalence rate and a decreasing trend of DALY rate for NAFLD between 1990 and 2019.

Inversely, the solvent‐ printed scaffolds present a decreasing trend of WCA with increasing the TCP loading.

Achieved results exhibit great potential of our technology for HI monitoring and is supported by a decreasing trend of the learning curve of the PLS–DA model for classification problems ( Figure 5 ).

There was a decreasing trend in total bacteria and coliforms count when pigs were fed low nutrient density diet (negative control diet) with the LEX supplementation indicating some benefits in decreasing the counts further, though not significant ( p > 0.05).

In a 12-month follow-up study, functional interference scores showed a decreasing trend, starting from 2 months (69.83 ± 4.67) until 6 months (66.59 ± 3.93) after treatment, compared with baseline (89.66 ± 6.54).

Considering MUFA, oleic acid (C18:1n-9) was higher in both HM diets, while a decreasing trend from HM0 to HM20 was highlighted for palmitoleic (C16:1n-9) and myristoleic (14:1) acids.

Several papers have investigated adherence to the Mediterranean diet in Italy and highlighted a decreasing trend in adherence over time, in particular in younger generations and individuals in lower socio-economic groups. 48 - 50 Along with this decrease in Mediterranean diet’s adherence, a report from WHO Childhood Obesity Surveillance Initiative 51 showed that southern European countries including Italy had the highest rate of child obesity.

Despite the increase in GHCE and total government expenditure, the share of the GHCE from THCE has a decreasing trend.

Although the mRNA levels of PGC-1α and NRF2 in the H group were not significantly different from those in the Con group, they did show a decreasing trend.

The microdialysis showed that the Gi pathway activation was able to decrease the level of extracellular L-lactate, and the group of hM4Di-CNO expressed a decreasing trend than at baseline, and the discrepancy with the hM4Di-saline group was considerably high ( Figure 6 F).

Previous reports were inconsistent regarding breast muscle MUFA content, in that [ 74 ] found no effect, while [ 75 ] reported a decreasing trend in chickens fed flaxseed.

Another study found that the “weekend effect” on mortality appeared to be a decreasing trend over time after a stroke [ 14 ].

The strength of the mortars exposed to chloride-sulfate coupling showed a decreasing trend for all groups, and the phenomenon was exacerbated by the further coupling of carbonation, where the most obvious strength loss was in Specimen C without admixture, whose strength loss was 13.4% under the three-factor coupling, indicating that the mineral admixture, in particular the metakaolin, could improve its resistance to erosion to some extent.

In both Experiments 1 and 2, there was a decreasing trend in SF at ±5 bpmFS compared to NF, although it was not statistically significant.

The increase in temperature increases the chance of collision between free electrons and metal ions, and the thermal conductivity shows a decreasing trend.

According to the clinical results, all the Amsel criteria showed a decreasing trend at T1 sampling time, whereas an opposite tendency was detected at T2 ( Figure 2 ).

As for the two-sided convergence, the −706-rail crosscut, rail rise-entry, and return air rise-entry were less affected by the lithology of the roof, and only the transport rise-entry showed a decreasing trend.
