The relationship between time and the PM 10 maxima was negative, indicating a decreasing trend over time.

Nevertheless, this temporal effect ( α ) can be more clearly appreciated when observing Figure 3 d, where an increasing trend of the number of calls for each census block group is clearly marked.

Firstly, the observed responses provide evidence that the well-being implications of wind farms’ installation may be significant.

Both the under-registration rate and the deviation in the date recorded in the ZJIIS versus the 2014 coverage survey showed an increasing trend for subsequent doses, but we could not explain this phenomenon using the available data, and we suggested that future research should be focused on identifying the specific reasons for this issue. 5.

In the fully adjusted models restricted to deprived tracts, the street tree count showed a marginally significant inverse association with the odds of preterm birth within a 100 m buffer ( Table 6 ) and fully significant inverse associations in the models for 250 m and 500 m buffers.

A slightly significant correlation was detected in UOOUS, LE (2010), and HDI.

The total ESV in the Qinghai Lake region shows an increasing trend with fluctuations.

A strong trend from the results was that the prevalence of CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC increased, whereas the prevalence of subtype B/B’ decreased, and the prevalence of CRF07_BC and CRF08_BC has outstripped that of B/B’ after 2010.

Similarly, our results showed that the proportion of CRF07_BC was an increasing trend since 2007, this likely attributed to the continual activities between heterosexual behaviors and drug use in these areas where the drug trafficking activities are frequent [ 14 , 72 , 73 ], especially for the phenomenon of prostitution to support drug use.

It is evident from the overview provided in Table 4 that, while each of the case studies analysed for this research varied in the extent to which it focused on equity, there was an overall trend away from an equity focus and towards a predominant focus on intersectoral collaboration.

An increasing trend of MetS and its components were observed in both BMI groups ( Table S1 ).

[ 69 ] found only marginally significant effects, with limited transfer to the driving task.

This is a positive trend and confirms the hypothesis that running events have the potential to stimulate activity in population subgroups that are known to be less active (women and lower-educated adults) [ 12 ].

Several recent studies have shown an increasing trend of the epidemic potential and length of the transmission season of VBDs in temperate regions and tropical highlands under different climate change scenarios [ 15 , 16 , 17 ].

In contrast, others found an increasing trend reflecting changes in precipitation and soil moisture, rather than wind conditions [ 46 ].

From the series, an increasing trend in temperature, with more observations of higher than normal temperatures since 2003, is noticeable.

All statistical tests were two-tailed with a significance level set at p < 0.05 and borderline significance set at p < 0.10. 3.

Our results showed that TG level was positively correlated with FBG, and displayed an increasing trend for both males and females.

There was a significant trend where higher work stress was associated with lower maximal HR responsiveness [ 32 ].

The OMI space observations show a decreasing trend for the tropospheric NO 2 content over all of the cities presented in this work ( Figure 2 ).

Using OMI observations we found a negative trend of ~1 ± 0.06% per year.

Since there is an obvious trend that in many industries it is no longer competition among firms rather it is competition among supply chains [ 16 , 17 , 18 ], there is a clear shortage in the PV industry literature regarding how dual supply chains compete and the key decision issues regarding the competition between dual PV supply chains.

Since the geometric mean MEHHP concentration shows a decreasing trend over NHANES survey years 2001–2002 to 2011–2012, our findings for TD children could possibly be comparable to the current population average, while our findings for ASD children may be elevated as compared to the current population average.

Marginally significant differences existed between men and women concerning their perceptions of cycle tracks for improving economic development, with women indicating cycle tracks were more associated with economic development.

They reported that both synthetic and natural polymers had highly significant effects on aggregate size classes, especially for aggregates >2.0 mm, and could increase the mass of macro-aggregates and decrease the mass of micro-aggregates.
