mongolicus seedlings showed an increasing trend during the 0 to 14 d treatment period, and the transcript level reached the maximum (4638.6-fold higher than the control level at 0 d) at 11 d and declined to the minimum (6.2-fold higher than that at 0 d) at 13 d of the treatment ( Fig 3A ).

A 104-week clinical study of the 56.5-μg once-weekly regimen confirmed a significant increase in BMD at the radial distal 1/10 site and an increasing trend in BMD at the distal 1/3 and 1/6 sites, which are rich in cortical bone, which suggested that the 56.5-μg once-weekly regimen may have achieved the increase in radial BMD by avoiding cortical porosity [ 8 ].

Moreover, in recent decades, an increasing trend in the age-standardized incidence and mortality rates of CRC was observed among mainland Chinese men ( 2 ).

Variables of cluster-A and -B depicted an increasing trend upon exposure of plants to 8 or 16 dS m −1 of salt stress, in comparison with seawater-devoid control treatment, aside from the diminishing patterns of WUEins under both doses of seawater (Fig. 7a ).

8 − 14 Recent studies have indicated an increasing trend of the interfacial energy with the increasing corresponding solute–solvent interaction for the same solute in various solvents. 15 − 18 Apart from the interfacial energy, nucleation should also be influenced by the pre-exponential factor based on CNT.

On the basis of the biological investigation, it can be further deduced that on increasing the length of the N -alkyl chain ( 7g – i ), the potency of the compounds also exhibited an increasing trend.

There was an increasing trend in the value of calculated risk parameters with the increase of β , although on the map they are included in the same interval.

Table 1 shows an increasing trend of the intensity ratio of (I C2 + I C3 )/I C1 , when n (H2O): n (THF): n (DMSO) < 1:1:1, but gradually decreasing when n (H2O): n (THF): n (DMSO) > 1:1:1.

Our analysis revealed an increasing trend of thyroid microcarcinomas within the past 7 years as compared to a stable incidence of thyroid cancer.

To enhance the bioavailability of limonin, the study found that when absorption enhancer (verapamil, sodium dodecyl sulfate, polysorbate 80, and borneol) were orally ingested with limonin, they can significantly influence the pharmacokinetic behavior of limonin, among which the absorptive rate of limonin was increased in rat intestine, and the area under concentration–time curve (AUC) and maximum plasma concentration (C max ) of limonin showed an increasing trend.

All frequency bands showed an increasing trend in the mean power with postnatal age that was nonsignificant overall, although some pairwise comparisons were significant, such as between P14 and P16 groups for the delta band (0.5–3 Hz: p = 0.005; 3–8 Hz: p = 0.7; 8–25 Hz: p = 0.08; 30–50 Hz: p = 0.05, one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni post hoc test).

When there are more IoT devices in the network, both RND and ALGO-1 show an increasing trend in the number of handovers, yet that of ALGO-1 is much less than that of RND, as shown in Figure 8 .

Although the severity of complications following LMLR showed an increasing trend compared with the OMLR group, other studies showed that severity was similar in both groups [ 45 , 48 ].
