“a clear trend”

The tuberculosis (TB) incidence here was reported 94.9/100,000 in 2008, 86.7/100,000 in 2009, 82.3/100,000 in 2010 70.8 in 2011 and thus shows a clear trend to decrease; TB prevalence was reported 159.5/100,000 in 2011.

How does this pattern influence the growth rate? In addition to the high growth rate of diatoms, there is a clear trend between cell volumes and growth rates.

Interestingly, most micronutrients tested (Zn, Mn, Fe, Cu) demonstrated a clear trend of preferential accumulation in the root, with lower transport to- and accumulation in shoot organs ( Figures 5A–D ).

Interestingly, although containing lower numbers of CD68 + cells compared to metastatic PyMT Ikkβ Δmye mice, lungs from tumor free Ikkβ Δmye animals showed a clear trend towards increased presence of CD68 + cells as well.

A clear trend is observed, showing a direct, positive correlation between the two parameters.

However, glucose tolerance did not follow a clear trend in most women but instead fluctuated between different categories.

The results of DSC experiments ( Figure S3 ) showed that the glass transition temperature (T g ) values follow a clear trend: o-SBN1 < o-SBN2 < o-SBB1 < o-SBB2, where the increase in aromatic content, provided by the diamine monomer and the presence of TPS cores, significantly enhances the T g values.

However, the acoustic data does not show such a clear trend, possibly due to unavoidable noise in the data from bat echolocation calls being recorded outside the range of the deterrent and small sample sizes that were unavoidable due to the deterrent masking echolocation calls at some sites.

To delve deeper into the nuances of the results, Duncan’s average comparison test was utilized to pinpoint specific differences among the treatment combinations. The results indicated a clear trend whereby the highest levels of chlorophyll production were achieved with the M1T1P1 treatment, in stark contrast to the M2T1P2 treatment, which resulted in the lowest chlorophyll levels documented in this study.

The values are listed as a three-colored scheme (red-yellow-green) showing a clear trend of a set of compounds acting as putative inhibitors for a given protein.

Although PC3 xenografts were more likely than 22Rv1 xenografts to have a complete response, PC3 xenografts in our study were also smaller at time of treatment, and there was a clear trend toward better responses in smaller tumors (Fig. 5e ).

Studies on general TIL density do not show a clear trend on whether high or low densities are beneficial 62 – 66 since different subpopulations of effector and regulatory T lymphocytes are involved.

The findings from this study indicate a clear trend towards enhanced primary stability with the OD technique when compared with standard drilling.

Furthermore, within the glycol series, a clear trend was observed where solubility increased with the length of the glycol chain (TRG > TEG > DEG > ETG).

When stratified by severity score, there was a clear trend of increasing QoL scores with increasing severity scores.

For each of the three sampled years, there was also a clear trend in the fucoxanthin content in the study species in relation to the average monthly temperature at the study site (Fig. 7 ).

Interestingly, a clear trend was observed with decreasing ring size: as the substituent was reduced from cyclohexyl to cyclopentyl, cyclobutyl, and cyclopropyl, both yield and enantioselectivity improved significantly.

We observed a clear trend in microbiome alterations from the upper, through the middle and through the lower GI tract with its unique microbial composition.

In the last decade, many segmentation methods for MR brain images in clinical [26–28] and preclinical [29–33] settings have been proposed, with a clear trend toward the application of artificial neuronal networks.

The plotting of the first 3 LVs ( Fig 7b ) also shows no clear separation of the data but a clear trend towards successful differentiability.

For Momentum, there is a clear trend that the average final NPV increases as β increases, while the number of simulations slightly decreases.

There is a clear trend in the effect of head angle on the extent of the rock failure zone.

From automated injections to single-cell electroporation systems, a clear trend of integrating deep learning with established biological procedures is discernible.

Whilst individual boutons displayed varied effects of LTP induction on the fluorescence dynamics of iGluSnFR, they nonetheless appeared to indicate a clear trend towards an increase in the ΔF/F 0 signal amplitude (example in Fig. 4 c).

Outbreak data provides the most complete epidemiological information on Noroviruses, although the reporting time lag of this system is too long to discern a clear trend yet for 2002.
