Population size had some explanatory power on the spatial divergence of carbon emissions and showed a decreasing trend. q values of POP in 2012 and 2016 were 0.421 and 0.41, respectively, indicating that POP was the most explanatory factor in 2012 and 2016.

Feng believed that Russia’s economic development level shows a decreasing trend from the core areas to the edge areas, which presents the developed-sub-developed-developing trend.

For the other iron-related proteins, we found a decreasing trend for Cp, Tf, and SOD1, and an increasing trend for LCN2 in long-COVID versus controls ( Figure 2 A,B).

It can be seen from the figure that the contact angle of the wood specimens showed a decreasing trend with the increase in Bi doping amount; when the doping amount increased from 0 to 2%, the contact angle decreased from 125.9° to 91.4°, indicating that the increase in Bi 2 O 3 would reduce the hydrophobicity of the silica–titanium composite film on the wood surface.

σ PII showed a decreasing trend over the sampling period which could be associated with seasonally increasing light availability.

Except for the 200 mmol·L −1 NaCl treatment, the SP in other treatments was higher than that in CK, and its range of increase compared with CK showed a decreasing trend with the extension of the treatment time ( Figure 1 ).

The val Box , the val Objectness and the val Classification plots are the loss trends, respectively, for the box loss metric, for the objectness and for the classification loss relating to the testing dataset: as in the previous plots, in these cases, we expect a decreasing trend when the number of epochs is increasing.
