[ 43 ] found that the fracture toughness of geopolymer concrete was enhanced by basalt fiber, polypropylene fiber, and steel fiber, respectively, and the fracture toughness of geopolymer concrete showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the increase in fiber volume rate, and the specimens containing 0.2% basalt fiber, 0.8% polypropylene fiber, and 1.0% steel fiber have the best reinforcement effect, among which basalt fiber has the best toughening effect.

In 17 out of 23 subgroups, MDT could predict OS of mRCC and showed a trend toward longer OS.

We found that females showed a trend toward higher acute glucose-stimulated insulin secretion response in C57BL/6J mice ( Figure 4 G), and significantly higher glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in 10- and 22-week-old Ins r f/f : Ins1 Cre −/− :nTnG +/− mice ( Figs.
