Excerpts

A negative trend of association between exposure to high-molecular-weight (HMW) phthalates and PDI scores was observed in girls, while a positive association was found in boys [ 56 ].

Using word frequency and content analysis, the results suggest that the engagement was relatively low at the beginning and then surged in the acute stage, with a decreasing trend in the chronic stage.

Meanwhile, the amount of its woodland, grassland, and cultivated land all showed a decreasing trend, whereas the size of its water remained stable.

Figure 3 shows the number of publications per year, which was characterized by an increasing trend.

Compared to concurrent use, simultaneous use was associated with less anxiety and depression (marginally significant).

In general, no differences between RSE and SSE were observed in any of the examined HIIE performance variables, but there was a possible trend of an impaired HIIE aerobic performance.

The possibility change was calculated based on the smallest practically significant difference (0.2 times the standard deviation between subjects), based on Cohen’s effect size principle.

Some districts such as Chobe have experienced a decline in prevalence rates (from 29.4% in 2004 to 17.7% in 2013), while other districts such as Barolong and Kweneng East have shown an increasing trend (from 14.4% and 15.2% in 2004 to 20.3% and 21.5% in 2013, respectively) [ 11 ].

The regression coefficient of SHHK is 0.884, which is marginally significant.

For both markers, the results suggest an increasing trend. 4.3.

In addition, there is an increasing trend of the spatial agglomeration of FSP.

Evolution of Pesticide and Fertiliser Application Efficiency in China and International Comparison China’s consumption of pesticides and fertilisers ranks highest in the world, and the country shows an overall trend of rapid growth until 2012, after which the rate of growth tends to level off.

In this sense, O 3 levels has been found to be associated with COVID-19 confirmed cases [ 48 ] and PM 2.5 to be a highly significant predictor of the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, deaths and hospital admissions [ 48 , 49 ].

The running mean in the plot of residuals against fitted values shows no form of a marked trend, and the plots of the absolute residuals have a relatively stable slope.

Hygienists demonstrated significant mistrust of vaccine benefits (M = 7.05 ± 3.71) compared to dentists (M = 5.00 ± 2.29, p = 0.003), and near-significant differences from the general public.

In the future, BMFCs may be significant for chemical and petrochemical industry wastewater treatment.

Nevertheless, the findings may be significant for the practical implementation of compression garments.

The variation of Eh was 94.89~161.10 mV, expressing an overall trend of decline from upstream to downstream.

From the landscape scale, the LPI, MPS, and IJI of the three counties all showed a decreasing trend during the study period.

In addition, SL and OC also showed an increasing trend in the study period.

At the same time, the prediction effect of the agglomeration economy on the location selection of new chemical firms ( lnY ) in model 1B is also highly significant (β = 0.32; 95% CI ∈ [0.18, 0.45]); that is, the influence of the agglomeration economy on the second half of the mediating effect on the new chemical firms’ distribution is significant.

The hot spots showed a trend of expansion, while the cold spots showed a trend of contraction. 3.3.

Data presented in Table 1 and Table 2 show quite significant AR value differences for buildings with dimensions like those in study [ 1 ].

As can be seen from Figure 2 , the amount of GCR in the CNKI and WOS databases exhibits a clear trend of rapid increase, with the proportion of the publications in the CNKI and WOS gradually leveling off.

The soil nutrient content during the lack of fertilization long term exhibited a slightly increasing trend; the reason may be that during the entire growth cycle of the crop, its aboveground growth is vigorous, and the residual branches, leaves, and roots return to the soil through the humification process, which increases the soil nutrient content.
