“an increasing trend”

Introduction In recent years we have witnessed an increasing trend in the incidence of thyroid nodules ( 1 ).

Body fat percentage recorded an increasing trend in male participants ( Table 4 ).

Pale staining was present in both ischaemic types from 30 min with an increasing trend up to 90 min.

The first graph shows that the temporal evolution of the number of daily infections has followed an increasing trend until the end of March, which was then followed by a first slow decrease and then by a more rapid decline, according to the desired effect of control measures.

It is worth mentioning that during the last four decades an increasing trend in morbidity and mortality due to this cancer has been observed.

Kibret and Wilson [ 33 ] noted an increasing trend of outdoor-feeding An. arabiensis in central Ethiopia due to extensive use of indoor insecticide-based vector interventions.

The incidences of CH and TCH have shown an increasing trend in the past decades.

Although the incidence of prostate cancer in China is lower than that in Western countries, it has shown an increasing trend in recent years because of the aging population and improved life expectancy.

To understand the relationship between the HbA1c trajectories and high-risk PAD in patients with HbA1c ⩾7.4%, 502 patients with a low SD of annual HbA1c were grouped into the stable group, 1026 patients with a decreasing trend of annual HbA1c were grouped into the improving group and 544 patients with an increasing trend of annual HbA1c were grouped into the worsening group.

These exponents exhibit an increasing trend with time so that β c and β d exceed one after some number of days after the first two daily cases or deaths.

From the figure, an increasing trend of the recovery percentage can be observed.

Besides, the gene expression levels of haf-1 and pgp-12 showed an increasing trend with the decreasing pH.

PDW showed an increasing trend with increasing stage and unresectability.

In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported an increasing trend in CJD-associated deaths, with an average annual rate of 3.5 per million for those over 50 years of age 11 , 12 .

Nevertheless, an increasing trend with age existed in all male birth cohorts.

Second, the fluid temperature, for positive B r , in the region closer to the inner cylinder shows an increasing trend for β = 0.5 and 1, respectively, which one may see from Figure 2 a,c.

Contrary to the behavior of the swarms that belong in the first category, in the second category the frequency and the maximum energy of earthquakes follow an increasing trend, reaching a peak point, which is followed by a gradual decrease, while a few hours before the flank fissure opens, their occurrence rate drops dramatically [ 35 ].

In the LeNet, an increasing trend of MIs during the training process is not obvious, except in the very early stages of training, which is contrasted to the first block of the model (see Figure 5 a).

In addition, we studied the evolution of entropy over time, and detected an increasing trend of entropy up to a maximum in 2008, when the global economic downturn reached its peak.

It also can be found that the pressure drop values have an increasing trend with increasing Reynolds number.

The diagrams show that an increasing trend exists in the relationship between flow entropy and number of nodes ( Figure 1 a), and between flow entropy and number of links ( Figure 1 b), as well as a decreasing trend for the relationship between flow entropy and link density ( Figure 1 c).

The above analysis results indicate that the MSE estimation is sensitive to data length and its SD values manifest an increasing trend with the data length decreasing while the computation of MDE is independent on data length.

When the vertical rib thickness is small enough, for example W r = 0.1 mm, the thermal resistance of the staggered DLMCHS shows an increasing trend with the increasing offset, which means the conventional DLMCHS with zero offset has the smallest thermal resistance and shows the best thermal performance.

All told, there is an increasing trend of hardness with higher nitrogen for the high-entropy thin films.

After an injection of JWH015, an increasing trend in the PWMT and a decreasing trend in the NSF were observed.
