“an increasing trend”

Discussion In our 7-year observational study in Taiwan, we found an increasing trend over time in the emergence of fluconazole-resistant C. tropicalis isolates in blood.

16 The damping ratio measurement demonstrated an increasing trend in FFC‐fed female mice up to week 36 of feeding (Fig. 8 C).

The net age and period effects showed an increasing trend, while the cohort effects presented a decreasing trend in incidence and mortality risk.

First, there is an increasing trend between publication year and the accessibility of the data and analytics methods, indicating that the trend of open source software and hardware in research is possibly increasing.

It shows the high score of these three measurements and an increasing trend, similar to the one shown in Figure 17 .

42 43 Although both sexes displayed an increasing trend of RR according to the level of education, this index was higher in women than in men.

Only in Pat’s case was the relaxation level observed to have an increasing trend from the pre-test, to the intervention and finally the post-test.

These results show an increasing trend in compressive strength as the curing age was increased.

Among subjects with cholecystectomy, centrally obese subjects were less likely to be educated, had higher levels of BMI, WC, systolic/diastolic BP, plasma glucose, TC, triglycerides, insulin, and HOMA-IR compared with non-centrally-obese subjects. The prevalence of NAFLD showed an increasing trend from the group with neither central obesity nor cholecystectomy to the group with both central obesity and cholecystectomy (Fig. 1 a).

The prevalence of forgoing medical examinations or treatment was significantly higher, and with an increasing trend, among those at risk of poverty compared to those who were not (9.8% vs 6.0% between 2004 and 2007, 11.0% vs 5.8% between 2008 and 2012 and 14.1% vs 6.1% between 2013 and 2015).

2 and 3 , but with an increasing trend in power as subgroup effect, number of participants or number of trials increased.

Additionally, there is a reported absence of cholesterol testing in 40% of global public health sectors and though some studies have demonstrated an overall decrease in total serum cholesterol [ 245 , 246 ], including LDL, some more recent reports indicate an increasing trend in bad cholesterol (LDL) serum levels [ 247 , 248 , 249 ].

Introduction There is an increasing trend in various types of fractures including accidental fractures caused by vehicles, high-altitude falling fractures caused by infrastructure construction, wound fractures in overweight and seniors, etc.

In the composites, the maximum decomposition temperature corresponding to SBF shows an increasing trend.

In the 2010–2011 season, in-situ data are available from 1/02/2011, and both in-situ and MOD10A1 data exhibit an increasing trend from that date onward.

After 60 h, the hydrogen evolution rate of the two showed an increasing trend, which may have been the cause of the instability of the protective film, and may also be related to the complex corrosion behavior of magnesium alloys in aqueous Cl − containing solutions.

Quantitative measurement of the δ phase in the EMS-LSFed Inconel 718 superalloy with different electromagnetic field intensities ( Figure 8 a) established that the average length of the δ phase had an increasing trend with the addition of electromagnetic field intensity at different aging times.

Bearing in mind UAV competence in providing precious aerial visual information, the implementation of such techniques on aerial systems is an increasing trend in various research fields [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ].

Correspondingly, the weight ratio between the substrate element and the fusible element (Ni/Al) also demonstrated an increasing trend, but the variation range was larger than that of Ni/Cr.

The T c results for PP/PPMA/PMMT composites show that with the increasing content of pyrolyzed clay, the crystallization temperature shows an increasing trend, but only a moderate one and has an exception for the 10 wt. % composite.

Natural fibres used to reinforce polymeric composites have been an increasing trend, as they are not dangerous, are low-cost, renewable, and could potentially replace synthetic fibres for some applications [ 14 ].

Compared to PC, UCS responses of geopolymer specimens yielded: (i) a decreasing trend for FA-F, GP, MK, BA, and MP + FA-F, (ii) an increasing trend for FA-C, SL, and combinations of SL (BA + SL, RHA + SL, SF + SL, MK + SL) favorable with fewer proportions of stabilizers, and (iii) higher increments due to long-term curing (90, 365 days).

Results The analytical results showed the optimal scheme of screw configuration was that screws are omitted in the thread holes near the fracture site, and single cortical screws are used in the following holes to the distal end, while the double cortical screws are fixed in thread holes that are distal to the fracture; in the other words, the length of the screws showed an increasing trend from the fracture site to the distal end in the optimized configuration.

In the group of men with primary and secondary education, we observe an increasing trend and the growth is more rapid in the group with secondary education.

The results show an increasing level of both serotonin and oxytocin between subsequent meetings with the dog and an increasing trend of inter-intervention levels.
