“a clear trend”

All cortical regions showed a clear trend of significant information flow from posterior regions towards anterior regions.

For access to GPs there is a clear trend of increasing perceived difficulty in access for those with Bad Health and who do not own cars running from the North East to the South West.

Principal component analysis showed a clear trend of separation between the sample groups, with PC1 and PC2 contributing 84.23% and 5.89% of the difference, respectively (Fig.

As observed for the C 1s spectra in Figure 4 , in the case of O 1s, there is a clear trend of how the features become broader when the amount of oxygen and the defect concentration increases and, thus, also the variety of local chemical environments increases.

A clear trend of increased micro-hardness was revealed by the indentations and an optimisation window for bonding parameters was identified.

The plot reveals a clear trend indicating that younger calves are more susceptible to infection.

Regarding methodologies (RQ1), we observed a clear trend toward more sophisticated techniques ( 33 , 36 , 53 , 72 ).

The figure reveals a clear trend: As τ decreases, the MSSRE also decreases, indicating improved performance of the algorithm with smaller τ values.

A clear trend is observed across all bump categories: as vehicle speed increases, the suspension force also increases.

The equilibrium swelling degree (SD e ) of the film was then calculated using the following equation: considering that the decrease in the refractive index of the film is negligible, where OPL s and OPL d are the OPL of the swollen and dry films, respectively. (2) SD e = OPL s − OPL d OPL d As shown in Figure 3 B, regarding the SD e of the films as a function of the 3-AAPBA content, a clear trend was observed that SD e decreases with increasing 3-AAPBA content of the copolymers.

3 a, after 50 cycles, the compressive strength loss rates for the four mixtures were as follows: FS-P1 (84.9%), FS-P2 (73.2%), FS-P3 (89.6%), and FS-P4 (98.6%), revealing a clear trend that higher binder content leads to greater compressive strength retention.

Figure 2 indicates a clear trend of decreasing average AAM over time.

In addition to this feature, as shown in Figure 5 , it is difficult to differentiate a clear trend induced by the addition of PP and PN fibers and an increase in the volume fraction of the synthetic fibers.

SP-A showed a clear trend, but the difference in SP-A levels between NPH subset and control group did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.052).

Quantification of the Western blot data revealed a clear trend of increased PDE3B expression in highly proliferative cell lines (Fig. 7 B).

Taxonomic composition Analysis of the cecal microbiota showed that, at the Phylum level ( Figure 4A ), Firmicutes was the dominant group in all treatments (40–60%), followed by Bacteroidetes (30–50%); however, a clear trend was observed in the progressive increase in Bacteroidetes at T0 with respect to T2, while Firmicutes decreased.

Notably, also for APC-related proteins ( p = 0.13) and myeloid/angiogenesis-related proteins ( p = 0.05), a clear trend toward better survival was observed.

This lack of a clear trend between chain length and potency mirrors results from other PFAS zebrafish developmental toxicity studies [ 28 ] as well as other developmental in vitro studies [ 44 ].

Parameters that showed a clear trend in the univariate analysis were included in a stepwise logistic regression analysis.

Active rate and number of bouts per hour show the largest variation among all subjects, with a clear trend of subjects being more active during the first three hours of the day.

Regarding the CAT, it exhibited a clear trend in the organisms exposed to 15 °C, increasing significantly in the organisms exposed to Cu.

We observed a clear trend in which interactions with transcription start sites (TSS), transcribed regions (T), or enhancers (E) resulted in high gene expression, interactions with weak enhancers (WE) or CTCF regions resulted in moderate gene expression, and interactions with repressed (R) regions resulted in low gene expression.

A clear trend was observed where the weight loss in the first stage (Δ w 1 ) decreased with increasing TA concentration (from 6.98% in BL to 4.89% in BL 5%TA ).

Meanwhile the beta-sheet content changes are less pronounced and do not show a clear trend (Supplementary Fig. 3b ).

However, the results of both trials showed a clear trend toward improvement in oncological outcomes.
