Based on the results shown in Table 2 , a clear trend can be observed in which models trained with higher-resolution images (1024 × 1024) show progressively better performance as the number of epochs increases.
Depletion of PDS5A or PDS5B alone did not show a clear trend, suggesting the partly redundant function of PDS5A and PDS5B 24 .
The ORs for different combinations of one, two, three, and four work stressors partly overlapped, but a clear trend showed that the more work stressors that accumulated at the same time in the same respondents, the higher was the OR for reduced work ability.
It is noteworthy, that the findings showed a clear trend of up-regulating selenoproteins (GPX1, GPX4, DIO1, DIO2, and SELENOW1) mRNA expression significantly with bacterial organic Se supplementation, except for TXNRD1 with Se-yeast hens compared to the negative control.
Of course, not all health-related indicators are improving, for instance, obesity continues to increase, but there is a clear trend toward a decline in some chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancers, which coincides with a tendency of improving living conditions, suggesting that humankind can reduce chronic diseases by understanding the role of lifestyle and environmental factors, and coping with them appropriately.
In the contact inhibition region , a clear trend of decreasing probability of finding a neighboring cell is seen as the distance between cells decreases.
Moreover, at the beginning of the increase in the number of sensors, there is a sharp decline, which represents a clear trend.
From the progress of the polysaccharide-based micelles, there is a clear trend towards more complex and controllable systems, which will possess higher targeting and specificity to further improve therapeutic efficacy and reduce undesired side effects.
For example, a review of the effects of COVID-19 on adolescents reported an increase in alcohol consumption frequency [ 2 , 3 ], while another review, now on changes in substance and alcohol use during the COVID-19 pandemic, showed a clear trend toward increased alcohol consumption and a higher use of other substances [ 2 , 3 ].
Thus, there is a clear trend within King Cobra venom for the presence of positively charged alpha-neurotoxins, which is congruent with the data in this study, suggesting the importance of negatively charged amino acids in the snake prey’s orthosteric site.
[ 42 ], demonstrating a clear trend of stimulation at low concentrations and inhibition at high concentrations.
However, there is a clear trend in more recent studies to generate better results, possibly due to the utilization of more modern scanners.
Comparing the staging results of non-amnestic and amnestic MCI subjects, a clear trend towards higher staging was observed in amnestic subjects, with 54% being assigned stages 8–9 as opposed to 38% of the non-amnestic subjects.
Moreover, despite a clear trend of decreased ICCs for all beta diversity indexes in the 4 antibiotics cohorts compared to the two no-intervention cohorts, the result was not statistically significant (Student t test, p ≥ 0.05) except PCoA1 of Weighted Unifrac index and the average ICC value of PCoA1-5 of Unweighted Unifrac index.
Similarly, we were unable to identify a clear trend, with no clear relationship between increased risk and higher SVI scores.
In contrast, the supervised model exhibited a clear trend: the average error rate was higher in the shallower layers and gradually decreased in the deeper layers.
Performance across age and weight groups showed a clear trend favoring M + M for the less than 2‐month age group, with 78%, 62%, and 48% measurements in less than 1 minutes for M + M, L + M, and L + L, respectively.
Although this mild effect has been observed in the red blood cells, a clear trend of protection was observed for the white blood cells (WBC).
A clear trend of increasing intensity of the ES (diagonal) is observed as Pt becomes more diluted in Ni.
Likewise, a melting of the PVA was evidenced at 180 °C, however, this transition did not present a clear trend. 2.6.
There is a clear trend of increasing proportion of invalid gene symbols with age of platform submission ( Figure 1 ), ranging from an average of ~3% for recent platforms and increasing with age to ~20% in 2010 and 30–40% in the earliest platforms from 2002–03.
The demographic profile of individuals affected by varicocele demonstrates a clear trend toward younger age groups, which substantially overlaps with the high-frequency users of internet-based platforms [ 13 , 14 ].
In summary, these results underscore a clear trend of progressive performance improvement, highlighting the superior control capabilities of the hybrid FPIDD2+PIDD2.
Finally, the ectopic overexpression in NSC‐34 cells of lncMN2‐Ex5, containing the miR‐466i‐5p sponging region, showed for Scrt1 and Ncan a clear trend of upregulation (Appendix Fig S5 E).
