“a clear trend”

The objective is a clear trend toward a highly interactive and self-directed learning environment to support the concept of life-long independent learners [ 44 ].

The results indicate a clear trend toward convergence, with diminishing changes beyond 100–250 individuals (Fig. 2A and B ).

However, the multiplex qRT-PCR analysis specific for complement factor 1 did not show the same pattern of expression detected in the arrays, with a lot of sheep-to-sheep variation, although there was a clear trend towards up-regulated gene expression in response to challenge in both groups in Expt. 1 (Figure 6 ).

Figure 5 does not show a clear trend in on-site versus the area-weighted sum of upstream releases, although three areas, the Mississippi River, Florida, and an area largely east of the Appalachian Mountains extending from New York City to South Carolina, show stronger on-site release effects.

While the length of the title does not reveal a clear trend, longer abstracts are more common in neutral papers.

2 a), whereas the number of avian taxa did not show such a clear trend (Fig. 2 b).

Of importance, we also found a clear trend toward elevated TG and FFA levels in individuals at risk for RA.

Although the duration of sleep (more than 7 h per day) was not increased significantly, the values of the responses of the survey showed a clear trend [ Table 1 ].

However, despite the variation in results, there was a clear trend of menus or meals being nutritionally inadequate.

What are the new findings? Health and health-related SDGs are being aligned with existing national development agendas and there is a clear trend towards implementation through existing or new multisectoral and multistakeholder institutions.

Patients with T2D displayed an increase in the relative systemic expression of interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor α and a clear trend towards reduced levels of interferon γ (IFNγ).

Conclusions Experiments at 1–5 kbar on a natural granitic system do not show a clear trend in total OH defect content in quartz, and the average defect water content is around 200 μg/g.

The distributions of RVA values at rest and during Valsalva manoeuvre across Sandvik severity groups are illustrated in Figure 3 , demonstrating a clear trend toward larger angles in more severe cases while highlighting inter-individual variability and overlap between categories.

A clear trend is evident across all analyzed features, demonstrating the influence of the activation speed on the harvester’s output.

The relationship between initial COAST scores and admission rates is detailed in Table 5 , where a clear trend emerges.

There was a clear trend in performance as function of exposure time for both sample sets, and as expected we obtained higher root mean square errors (RMSECV) for shorter exposure times.

Regarding daily rates of deaths/confirmed cases, a clear trend does not emerge with regard to the three country groups, although it should be noted that some countries with really low testing capacities have a high rate of confirmed cases (such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where the daily average of tested population is 0.0004% and the daily ratio of confirmed cases/number of tests is around 20%) (Table 10 in Supplementary material).

Collectively, these technological developments are driving cochlear implants from early “sensory substitution” devices toward adaptive, interactive “perceptual fusion” platforms, reflecting a clear trend toward deep structural and functional integration with the nervous system. 3.1.2.

A clear trend was observed in which antioxidant activity decreased with increasing electron-withdrawing capacity of the halogens (F > Cl > Br).

We did not observe a clear trend of the emitted fluorescence vs the sample chamber pressure.

Consequently, the relative ion intensities of these four peat marker signals with largest abundance in peat but much less in straw, feed and faeces from the control groups, showed a clear trend of increase in the faeces of pigs from the test compared to the control groups (Fig. 2 -B-d).

For those 9 test subjects, a clear trend toward lower post-Zn D-Lactate levels could be seen.

A clear trend is seen for all ten catalysts, the first protonation of the N 2 moiety is either equal or lower in energy compared to the Schrock catalyst, while the reduction energies are all negative.

Interestingly, we see a clear trend in decreased evaporative potential as hair curl increases, which has not been previously demonstrated.

However, there is a clear trend that with these kinetic parameters, crystal sizes within the lower range are more accurately predicted compared with those predicted by the kinetic parameters of Tai and Shei.
