“an increasing trend”

Observational temperature data for the past 100 years or so suggest an increasing trend in global mean temperature.

In general, there has been an increasing trend away from the use of older AEDs in elderly patients, for reasons including high levels of protein binding and unfavorable pharmacokinetics.

In other words, to accept the hypothesis that species with more extensive ranges also show significantly greater variability in the timing of breeding, we would need to find (when comparing between different species): (1) a significant, nonzero, increasing trend between mean temporal distance and mean geographic distance; (2) the lack of a trend, or at least a significantly lower slope, for the null data set; and/or (3) an increasing trend in the standard deviations of the temporal distances for each species, with either the magnitude of the standard deviation increasing with increasing range extent or one or more species showing nonoverlapping standard deviations.

An increasing trend was found for almost all of the study types, with observational studies having the largest increase rate during 2008-2012.

After adjusting for age; height; weight; systolic blood pressure (BP); levels of serum glucose, total protein, blood urea nitrogen, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), triglycerides, total cholesterol, total bilirubin, and serum creatinine; and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), BMD was found to have an increasing trend across the quartiles in male, female, and postmenopausal female participants (Figure 2b ).

The CEC ratio in placebo group exhibited an increasing trend whereas that in LC group declined.

In the second study, five AAs were differentially expressed in three groups, lean, obese, and obese with diabetes, with an increasing trend (i.e., HL < OW/OB < DM).

Some regions report a decreasing while others report an increasing trend.

An increasing trend was observed in Nagelkerke's pseudo R 2 by increasing the proportion of top SNPs in the analysis (Fig. 1 C).

There is an increasing trend to avoid diagnostic RAI scans because of its low impact on the decision to ablate, and because of concerns over 131 I-induced stunning of normal thyroid remnants [ 39 ] and distant metastases from thyroid cancer [ 40 – 42 ].

Standardized incidence rate in all provinces in the study showed an increasing trend.

There was an increasing trend for peak yield from 2002 to 2011 but for peak time the maximum EBVs was obtained in 2006 and the fluctuation of EBVs in this trait is higher than that of peak yield.

8-oxodG/dG exhibited an increasing trend in non-malignant liver tissues compared to malignant liver tissues In this study, there was a trend towards increased 8-oxodG/dG ratios in non-malignant liver tissues compared to malignant liver tissues, although the difference was not significant.

There is an increasing trend of turnover toward the higher‐elevation zones.

Such an increasing trend is only possible when the system contains phonons with mean free paths larger than the sample length.

A recent study showed that the mean annual air temperature increased by 0.36 °C per decade from 1983 to 2010, leading to an increasing trend of 0.31 °C per decade from 1986 to 2010 in the top 10 cm of soil in the subtropical forest 27 .

For all three levels of temporal aggregation, the national level soil carbon changes were generally positive with an increasing trend for the period relevant to the UNFCCC reporting.

In addition, consistent with the GA 4 quantification, ABA content in KAR-treated seeds had an increasing trend, compared to CK ( Fig. 6c ).

Epidemiological trend To evaluate the changes in the incidence of esophageal cancer, comparison of ASIR indicated an increasing trend.

One of such comparative studies in Tanzania reported girls attending schools with boys are reporting early onset of puberty and experience menarche.[ 26 ] Thus, the question may arise how spending time with juvenile males in school could be responsible for early puberty, as they themselves are not rich in sex hormones? In this regard, some stimulating research works have been done which report an increasing trend of androgen levels in prepubertal males for last 30 years.[ 27 28 29 30 31 32 ] According to those articles, the testis is not completely silent before onset of puberty.

[ 18 ] followed 9 professional cyclists during a cycling stage race and found an increasing trend for sclerostin plasma concentration (day 1, 12, 23 of race).

Absence of meaningful difference in this parameter between the groups may be due to lack of difference between receiving and processing of the information ( 19 , 20 ). The time of movement is another variable that it is related to the rate of muscle force production and is also considered as an indirect measure of muscle–tendon unit stiffness ( 21 ). In this study, time of movement showed an increasing trend in patients’ group, which is in agreement with high irritability of CNS ( 22 ).

Frontier orbital calculations revealed increased hardness for the –CF 3 modified drug D1 and increased softness for the iodinated drug D4 ; moreover, softness values of the drugs, except fluorine, followed an increasing trend with the substitution of halogens of greater atomic radii.

Discussion Labor induction has had an increasing trend: 7 , 8 from 9.5% in 1990 and 19.4% in 1998 to 22.1% in 2004.

Numbers of ASB loci detected by different designs We compared the numbers of ASB loci detected by different designs at AlleleSeq default FDR level of 0.1 and observed an increasing trend with the number of sequenced bases (Fig. 3 a , b ).
