Excerpts

There is a clear trend among the literature to combine molecular techniques as well as microbiological methods in engineered ecosystems [ 12 , 13 , 14 ].

The results of a one-way ANOVA showed that the perception differences among the evaluation factors for the three greenway types were all highly significant.

However, for home-visit bathing or home-visit nursing users, and CL4 or CL5 users, an increasing trend was seen in spite of the spread of COVID-19.

More respondents with owned housing reported more perceived benefit on family physical health but it was marginally significant.

Focusing on sod2 expression, no differences were found among all experimental groups, despite the fact that in PD + CuSO 4 and CuSO 4 + PD groups an increasing trend was observed ( Figure 4 b).

However, with the promulgation of national policies and regulations and the consistent adjustment of the industrial structure of animal husbandry, carbon emissions from animal husbandry are showing a decreasing trend. 3.1.2.

LBP and neck pain have been ranked as number four in disability-adjusted life lost years worldwide, and there is an increasing trend [ 6 ].

Both the ILSM group and the control group showed an increasing trend of HbA1c over six months, which means this population did have a growing risk of developing diabetes even during a short time period.

According to Figure 2 , at the urban scale PPF tends to exhibit an increasing trend, which means that there was a lot of dry land conversion to paddy fields in Hubei province.

Individuals undergoing TBP showed a trend towards a lower Breslow’s thickness and a higher proportion of in situ melanomas compared to those without TBP.

Blood Pb concentration showed a trend to decrease with increasing distance from the smelter, but urinary Cd did not show a clear trend.

In a previous study, the geometric means of blood Pb in Koreans individuals were 1.25, 1.46, 1.59, 1.89, and 1.74 μg/dL for the following age groups: 19–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–69, and ≥70 years old, respectively, showing an increasing trend with older age [ 19 ].

Urinary Cd concentration showed a trend to increase with older age.

It is probable that buildings and houses in these areas are constructed using modern methods and materials and may offer some protection from the 0.6 psi blast overpressure, although there may be significant injuries from glass breakage.

Results suggest that GDP per capita has a marginally significant effect on pro-environmental behavior, and population size and PM 2.5 level do not have significant influences, net of other variables.

A decreasing trend was observed when Nc went from 5 to 15.

There was a strong trend towards a higher cholesterol level in the LFLF group compared with the HFHF group.

The low value area and the relatively low value area showed a decreasing trend, while the medium value area and the relatively high value area displayed a growing trend.

Virtual water “exports” showed an increasing trend.

For TP parameters, with the increase in rainfall intensity, the risk of exceeding the water quality standard at the dam site increased from 0.58% to 2.71%, with a slightly increasing trend, while the exceedance rates at the entrance area increased from 2.38%, 1.27% and 12.98% to 31.40%, 23.93%, and 45.89%, with a very obvious increasing trend.

These results may be significant in highlighting the potential gaps in reporting (such as intervention characteristics) which could lead to more transparent reporting and a better understanding of the implications of LFV in dementia symptom management.

It is worth highlighting that the Error Correction Model (ECM) of all models is highly significant and discloses a moderate speed of adjustment to the long-run equilibrium.

The change in the fitted MCP curve was consistent with the annual precipitation pattern of the region, which is four consecutive months from April to July; the fitted curve showed an increasing trend, indicating that precipitation during this period contributed to the spread of HFMD.

At a certain code value of ridge height, NO 3 − –N loss gradually increased with the increase in row grade when its code value was smaller than −0.51, and then exhibited a decreasing trend.

Overall, air quality improved over the years with a decreasing trend of air pollutant concentrations, with the exception of O 3 .
