On the other hand, the concentration of total phenolic compounds in the CrS remained constant during the first 48 h of culture, and showed a decreasing trend after that time.

In addition, there seemed to be a decreasing trend in the prevalence of DR over time in China when comparing the prevalence rates between the two meta-analyses (from 23.0% between 1986 and 2009 to 18.45% between 1990 and 2017) and between the two multi-province surveys with participants from community health service centers and hospitals (from 34.08% between 2014 and 2015 to 30.1% between 2015 and 2018) 8 , 9 , 13 , 16 .

This combined with our results may suggest a decreasing trend in prevalence over the past decade.

The findings suggest a decreasing trend in the level of functional impairment among the elderly in recent years.

When considering the dynamic effect of race on patient survival, a decreasing trend in mortality was observed among African American patients and surprisingly, the African American-white discrepancy could disappear after 4 years of survival.

Increase in the application on N consistently showed a decreasing trend of bacterial biodiversity measured by Chao1 and Simpson’s index [ 31 ].

In the age group of less than one year, both classes 1 and 3 exhibited significant mean slope estimates, indicating a decreasing trend in the frequencies of causes of death from 2014 to 2018.

Second, the comparison of metagenome data obtained from fecal samples between patients during hospitalization or at follow-up and healthy controls revealed that α-diversity had a decreasing trend and that there was a significant discrepancy in β-diversity in patients with GI long COVID-19 symptoms.

None of the studies reported significant differences between the two groups regarding other indices [ 50 – 53 , 55 ].

In all, the AMDR exhibited a decreasing trend with a rise in SDI, and the frontier remained steady once SDI was >0.65.

This experiment revealed a decreasing trend in fca-3 and Ler ( Figure 3A ), which did not seem to be due to a change in FCA expression over the same timescale ( Figure 3B ).

With increasing soil depth, bacterial community diversity showed a decreasing trend in VL and a slightly increasing trend in VH (Supplementary Fig.

As can be seen from the figure, with the increase of well depth, the overall heat transfer coefficient between the well wall and the fluid shows a decreasing trend, and the decreasing degree becomes slower and slower.

A decreasing trend in n D with temperature was also observed, which is similar to that of the corresponding neat DESs.
