The mean symptom scores in both groups showed an increasing trend across the three time points, with the increase appearing more pronounced in the noise-sensitive group.

Remarkably, an average of 0.6 CBs/m 2 was observed in the 2021–2022 period, demonstrating an increasing trend in cigarette butt pollution.

The δ 13 C org and δ 15 N showed an increasing trend (Figure 6d,e ), indicating a transition of the organic matter from exogenous C 3 plants to endogenous phytoplankton, and leading to the wetlands shrinking until they disappeared.

When we examined T cells viability in the tumor region, we found that T cells expansion were significantly increased with miR-375 overexpression, both CD4 + T and CD8 + T cells showed an increasing trend (Fig. 4 j).

Similarly, an increasing trend was observed in Japan, rising from 2.9 per 100,000 population in 2010 to 4.3 per 100,000 population in 2019 [ 5 ].

Integration with other analytical techniques There is also an increasing trend in the use of FTIR in combination with other techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Association between substance use and syphilis infection All substance use behaviors depict an increasing trend over the five-year span from 2018 to 2022, further suggesting an increasing prevalence of syphilis (Fig. 6 ) .

If the upper limit of both EAPC and its 95% CI is negative, its corresponding rate shows a decreasing trend; conversely, if the lower limit of both EAPC and its 95% CI is positive, its corresponding rate shows an increasing trend.

A low ratio value is typical for graphite and graphene; a high ratio value is characteristic for, e.g., graphene oxide, CB, biochar, etc. Figure a shows the spectra of the PLA standard in the nonplasma PLA/CB sample, and to compare the two electrode samples, plasma 10 and 160 s are shown. In the case of composite samples, only the D and G bands of CB were registered, with the absence of the characteristic bands for PLA. The dependence of the signal intensity ratio of the I D / I G bands on the time of plasma treatment of the electrode surface has an increasing trend ( Figure b).

Except under the SSP3-7.0 scenario, all future climate models predict an increasing trend in suitable habitat area.

Although the Chao ( p = 0.089), ACE ( p = 0.087) and Simpson ( p = 0.132) indices also showed an increasing trend in the SCH group, these differences did not reach statistical significance.
