The increasing market and interest in biobased polymers and biobased additives like flame retardants is a positive trend but during the replacement process recycling and the whole production process of biobased polymers including the extraction of raw materials are essential aspects that have to be considered in the evaluation of the life cycle assessment (LCA).

The second evaluation phase reveals six significant improvements in ratings after the intervention and all other items except for three show a positive trend.
In contrast to other sphingolipids, the correlation between sphingomyelin and aging generally exhibited a positive trend, with the exception of very long-chain sphingomyelins (VLCs) SM C34:1 and C34:0, which showed a negative association with age.
The overall performance of NDVI in Northeast China shows a positive trend.
However, the findings contradict earlier reports of a positive trend in the number of inseminations per year from NAGRC and DB, which may be a case of misreporting by the AI field staff.
Furthermore, we also found a positive trend of association between the congruent and the incongruent Stroop tasks, whereas a significant inverse correlation was found between anxiety and lactatemia in humans.
KDR conductances were found in all cells, and conductance values showed a positive trend with increasing capacitance (Figure 5 B), and KDR conductance density was 0.14 ± 0.06 nS/pF (mean ± SD, n = 23).
[ 58 ], indicating a positive trend but also the risk of energy loss if the ensiling was not conducted properly.
The MDA content of 276 A was higher than that of its maintainer line 276B in all three periods and showed a positive trend.
A positive trend between autodetection ability and pest-status thus far suggested may be invalid due to those same sampling biases, but its confirmation in over two thirds of the families and 75% of species tested thus far means the ability does not seem rare.
Although not significant, the microbial N supply still showed a positive trend.
While not statistically significant, other categories such as ophthalmological, hearing, and dermatological also showed improved diagnostic performance, reflecting a positive trend that may have been underestimated due to the heavy dependence of the statistical tests on the sample size.
Furthermore, the results observed on posture, although not significant, are still characterized by a positive trend of improvement, confirming that techniques such as the N-IMTE are capable of simultaneously remodulating, albeit with different magnitudes and timing, both the painful and motor components of radiculopathies.
PIBBS scores showed a positive trend in weight gain velocity at every time point in the adjusted model ( Figure 3 B).
Nonetheless, there was a positive trend for improved full-scale IQ performance for the adolescent TBI SMART group, which includes both verbal and non-verbal reasoning.
Language remains the most extensively tested cognitive domain; however, a positive trend towards the implementation of a broader range of cognitive tests is observed [ 48 , 49 , 50 ].
The correlation between the ALPS-mean and MoCA scores showed a positive trend, although it did not reach statistical significance (r = 0.186, p = 0.058).
The results indicated that there is always a positive trend (relationship) regardless of observation type (e.g., “best” [same analyst and same scan] case or “worst” [different analysts and different scans] case).
While the results are clearly variable, we see a positive trend for all three tests when comparing quantitative tests results to either parasite burden or fibrosis score.
It is worth noting that, although the effects on short-term memory and long-term memory were not statistically significant in some studies, the effect of VR improving MCI memory function also shows a positive trend.
The bibliometric analysis indicates that the field is maturing, with growing interdisciplinary collaboration and a positive trend in research focused on, highlighted by keywords such as ML integration with exploration, GIS, remote sensing, and analytical mineral characterization.
The altered production and/or clearance of these intermediates may have accounted for the significant accumulation of glucose and glucose-6-phosphate, along with a positive trend toward other glycolytic intermediates.
More precisely, a negative trend signifies an association with post-moult migrants and a positive trend with moulting migrants.
Notably, the analysis of period effects demonstrated a positive trend in the reduction of RA incidence and DALYs in high SDI regions in recent years.
