Regarding the ultrafiltration unit, the specific flux (or permeability) was characterized by an increasing trend.

The levels of individual FFAs exhibited an increasing trend during cold storage for each fatty acid ( Figure 5 c).

In Figure 8 c, it can be seen that as the load cycle level increases, the damping ratio as a whole shows a pattern of gradually decreasing while having an increasing trend at a later stage.

The temperature exhibits a decreasing trend followed by an increasing trend, with the lowest temperature dropping by nearly 5 K compared to the highest temperature in the non-PCM region.

Figure 6 shows the SEM images of copper films deposited by HiPIMS under different duty cycle conditions, and it is found that the particle size on the surface of the copper film shows an increasing trend with increasing duty cycle.

When the sodium silicate content was below 25%, the compressive strength exhibited an increasing trend with higher silicate levels.

The results highlight that the crack initiation strength, damage strength, peak strength, and elasticity modulus of Jinping marble exhibit an increasing trend with an increase in intermediate principal stress, while the peak strain initially increases and subsequently decreases.

The UCS of the CCPB showed an increasing trend with the rise in curing age, mass concentration, and the c/t ratio.

Recently, there has been an increasing trend, especially in the automotive sector, towards the production of cylindrical blocks to achieve the high performance of diesel engines by improving their wear and corrosion properties [ 34 ].

Conversely, the volume expansion rate of the RM–CaO stabilized soil showed an increasing trend with the cycle number.

(4) The cryogenic impact toughness of the medium-carbon spring steel shows an increasing trend with an increasing nickel content due to the refinement of the sub-microstructure of martensite (including packet and block) and the increase in the proportion of HAGBs, which shifts the brittle temperature zone to lower temperatures.

As shown in Figure 21 , the UCS exhibited an increasing trend with incremental additions of cement and SDA up to optimum amendment dosages of 6% by dry weight.

On the other hand, among 33 patients with LREs the median LSM value was 20.9 kPa, 18.6 kPa, and 20.3 kPa at week 0, 26, 52, and 78; in these patients, there was only a decrease in LSM of 11% in the first 26 weeks and an increasing trend of slowly decreasing after 26 weeks.

It is observed that the inflection point concentration exhibits an increasing trend with the augmentation of laser power.

The exact prevalence of renal infarction is unclear, but a recent 7-year epidemiological study showed an increasing trend from 2.68 to 3.06 per 100,000 person–years [ 1 ].

Once the electrical tree channel occurred, the fluorescence signal demonstrated an increasing trend with an increase in electrical field intensity.

S5, † the α values of PIC/Fe 3 C-1, PIC/Fe 3 C-2 and PIC/FeCo show an increasing trend with increasing frequency from 2 GHz to 18 GHz.

This sub-genotype is known to be largely spread in East-Europe, underling the importance of monitoring the emergence of mutations, potentially hampering the full efficacy of anti-HBV vaccination, in the setting of non-autochthonous HBV sub-genotypes. Notably, multivariable analysis showed an increased risk of harbouring at least one vaccine escape mutation in the time-window 2015–2019 compared to 2005–2009 (1.60[0.99–2.60], P = 0.05) ( Table 3 ), supporting an increasing trend in the circulation of these mutations over time.

Our findings suggest an increasing trend in multiresistance among Listeria isolates in RTE products found in Romania.

All of the prepared samples demonstrated an increasing trend toward heat exposure, implying their viability to dissipate heat from the heat source.

As the extent of the grassland’s restoration increased, the number of plant species, importance values, and plant community diversity showed an increasing trend.

In aged mice, while fed serum insulin showed a decreasing trend, fasting serum insulin showed an increasing trend ( Figure 2 B), leading to a significantly increased HOMA-IR in aged mice ( Figure 2 C).

For the samples L and P doping with lime and plaster of the glassy network, the intensity of the last bands decreased, while for adding mortar, ACC and brick, an increasing trend of strength was evident.

As listed in Table 3 , C44 exhibits a decreasing trend followed by an increasing trend.

It is apparent that in both adsorption systems, the adsorption capacity of the adsorbents demonstrates an increasing trend with the escalation in initial adsorbate concentration.
