Excerpts

Further, participants in the experimental control condition showed a trend towards initiating larger transactions on average, partially supporting Hypothesis 2b.

A p-value of < 0.01 was regarded as highly significant.

Thermo-hydraulic effectiveness of tubes fitted with twisted tapes is becoming highly significant.

With the increase in height ratio, the creep time also exhibited a decreasing trend: that is, the larger the proportion of the coal body part to the overall body of the combination, the faster the creep ended, which accelerated the destruction of the coal–rock combinations.

Major surgery was associated with a significant increase in ALT levels at days 5 and 10 after the surgical procedure, whereas minor surgery was associated with a borderline significance at day 10 after surgery.

Accordingly, precipitation in northwestern China showed an increasing trend with spatial difference 27 .

4 a), shrinking from 7.972 million km2 to 7.769 million km2, and then increasing to 8.126 million km2, indicating that the tourism eco-efficiency of Fujian Province is in an elevated trend, mainly because the cities in Fujian Province have paid more attention to green ecological development in recent years, and the tourism development model has been optimized, which has played a protective role for the ecological environment; From the shape index (Fig. 4 c), the long half axis of the standard deviation ellipse is always larger than the short half axis, and the spatial distribution of tourism eco-efficiency in Fujian Province shows an obvious “northeast–southwest” directional distribution pattern.

ctionality of the spatial distribution gradually decreases in this period and the spatial agglomeration feature gradually becomes significant; From the trend of the long half axis of the ellipse, it shortens from 1.529 in 2011 to 1.488 in 2014, and then gradually increases until 1.569 in 2020, with an overall trend of continuous increase, indicates that the clustering of tourism eco-efficiency gradually decreases in the "northeast-southwest" direction.

The shape index decreases in 2011–2012 and 2019–2020, indicating that the directionality of the spatial distribution of tourism eco-efficiency increases in this period and regional differences increase, while the shape index of 2012–2019 shows an increasing trend and the shape tends to be more and more positive circle, implying that the directionality of the spatial distribution gradually decreases in this period and the spatial agglomeration feature gradually becomes significant; From the trend of the long half axis of the ellipse, it shortens from 1.529 in 2011 to 1.488 in 2014, and then gradually increases until 1.569 in 2020, with an overall trend of continuous increase, indicates that the clustering of tourism eco-efficiency gradually decreases in the "northeast-southwest" direction.

A positive and significant APC indicated an increasing trend, while a negative and significant APC pointed to a decreasing trend.

However, a borderline significant interaction term suggested that the association of CHI with PPE usage was more pronounced in participants with chronic disease (Table 2 ).

Excluding EPCAM and L-selectin, the other CAMs analysed also show an increasing trend in pDOC patients compared to controls, which could become significant by increasing the study cohort.

In addition, although statistical methods can determine that certain indicators have a significant impact on the risk of death in patients with sepsis, statistical methods cannot rank the impact of multiple highly significant indicators on the mortality of sepsis patients, in order to further determine which indicators are the most core indicators.

For LungCL and LungILCL, there is also an extremely significant difference highlighting the quality of the 3DCRT dosimetry.

For hyperdense artifacts, the reduction of artifact extent as well as the increase of image quality was highly significant.

This reflects an overall trend observed in both the top 25 N- glycans and the total core fucosylated N- glycans, where when one type of N- glycan formed a sizable percentage of the N- glycan distribution in normal tissue, it was less present in cancer and vice versa.

The scenario changed at month 4 and more significantly at month 6: here, we measured a clear trend towards lower Brillouin shifts when comparing X-ray ν B with control ones.

The percentage of ‘seen’ responses in both the cohorts ranged from 90 to 70% which showed a trend of decreasing percentage of ‘seen’ responses with an increase in age.

For lesion sizes of 10–19 mm, a decreasing trend was found in the percentage of uniEPMR until about 160 cases, after which there was an increasing trend.

As the arteries were stretched in the axial direction, collagen fibers showed an increasing trend of straightening which plateaued above 1.8 stretch (Fig. 8 A).

A downward trend is observed up to zone 4, followed by an increasing trend with a sharp climb towards the southwest suburbs and urban areas.

The highest values are observed in the eastern suburbs, followed by a decreasing trend towards the center of the city (District 5).

This leads to a positive trend in June and July, with numerical values of 46 and 47 °C during the day and 19 and 21 °C at night.

Among the ICT tool components, Hungarian students showed a trend of using social media in their language learning much more frequently than other components post-COVID-19 (z = 0.809).

3 a,b two-step trend was observed for sCOD and TVFA variation during the ultrasonic pretreatment; the sCOD experienced an increasing trend within the first 10 min and the highest sCOD was measured at 10 min (14,380 mg/L).
