“a clear trend”

Neither were the changes experienced by the medium glycerol, despite a clear trend to decrease with time and higher glucose concentration.

Bivariate analysis in this study revealed that the presence of dental caries, gingivitis and malocclusion was significantly associated with higher C-OIDP score, showing a clear trend in the expected direction.

The results provide a clear trend in the increase in temperature with higher BP NS concentrations, with the 1 mg/mL solution showing the most significant temperature rise, highlighting a strong concentration-dependent photothermal effect.

Although the overall mortality difference between men and women was not statistically significant, Kaplan-Meier survival curves demonstrated a clear trend toward lower survival in men, warranting further clinical attention.

However, on both types of MWCNTs-nisin filters, a clear trend was observed in which the bacteria capture efficiency was slightly reduced as nisin amount increased, possibly because the bacteria capture efficiency was negatively correlated with the hydrophobicity of filter surface.

While this indicates a clear trend towards shorter FTO values in non-autistic dyads (in line with the overall trend) during discussion of the first Mismatch, the inclusion of zero in the 95% CI and the relatively low posterior probability suggest that this is not a reliable difference between groups. 4.

Direct comparison of the mean ROC AUC relative to the model input factor count for each of the 247 models revealed a clear trend showing that an increase in the number of input factors leads to an overall increase in the average mean and median ROC-AUC—indicating that the inclusion of a greater number of inputs generally improves prediction strength ( Fig 2A ).

Similarly, the SD, exhibited a clear trend overestimating the younger individuals and underestimating the older individuals verifying that the secondary osteons alone are not sensitive enough to recognize the age changes.

In contrast, examination of the plasma levels of the hormone ghrelin, which is known to inhibit the insulin secretion in pancreatic ß-cells in vivo [ 34 ], showed that 100 mg/Kg dose of D-Pinitol was able to increase significantly the levels of ghrelin in plasma as soon as 10 min ( p < 0.01) after D-Pinitol load, with a clear trend to maintain the levels of ghrelin above the baseline levels in plasma ( Figure 7 ).

The study demonstrated a clear trend of each outcome in favor of UF; weight loss (primary endpoint), dyspnea improvement and net fluid loss assessed at 48 h from enrollment resulted statistically significant ( P = 0.001) in the UF arm of the study as compared to diuretics arm.

The predicted probability of AMR and MDR decreased with increasing maximum age of the sampled calves in the pool, whereas the direction of effect of minimum age did not follow a clear trend and differed between AMR and MDR.

There was a clear trend in partitioning based on mutant topology, and, not unexpectedly, this inversely tracked with mobility (Fig. 3C , mobile fraction).

However, the variability in protocols and systems used across studies highlights the lack of methodological uniformity while pointing to a clear trend toward utilizing advanced technology for dCTA imaging.

Enamel Subsurface Lesions Depths There were no significant differences in changes in mean lesion depths (LDd−LDr) following treatment with TM (22.09 ± 6.46 μm) and TMP (33.23 ± 10.73 μm) ( p > 0.05), although there was a clear trend of a greater effect with TMP, as shown in Figure 2 .

The probed [R 4 M] − complexes show a clear trend in their unimolecular reactivity: The tendency toward a concerted reductive elimination, i.e., a two‐electron process, increases in the series M = Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu.

While there is a clear trend for SNPs that decrease the RE1 motif score to also strongly decrease their binding affinity, this relationship is not strong for SNPs that increase binding affinity.

Unlike under dry conditions, the cyclic voltammogram profiles do not show a clear trend in relation to the cation identity.

There was a clear trend of a concentration-dependent decrease of the MDR starting from a PFAS mixture sum concentration of 50 μM (Fig. 7 f, h, and j).

As shown in Figure 1 a, comparing with UG resin, the bonding performance of the SCSUG adhesives exhibited a clear trend of first increasing and then decreasing with increasing starch content.

Regarding the variations in the RDS and SDS content values for the pasta systems studied here, a clear trend was not observed for these digestibility parameters, as to establish an adequate explanation for this.

A clear trend was found in Sn-0.5Ag, Sn-2Ag and Sn-3.5Ag that solder balls with deeper β-Sn nucleation undercooling were more likely to have multiple β-Sn grains, in agreement with past work by Arfaei et al.

In the current study, stimuli in different emotion categories were not significantly different with respect to their mean (bitmap) intensity values, but there was a clear trend for both within- and between-category variability.

While in the simulation, a very small decrease of the gas temperature is observed, the experimental data is more scattered, and a clear trend cannot be observed taking into account the uncertainties of the measurement.

Additionally, a clear trend can be observed as we move from upstream (LHK) to downstream (ET).

Among the lipids, there was a clear trend of lower lipid levels in case of higher Gleason score [PC (p-36:1) or PC (o-36:2), PC 38:2e, Cer (d41:1)] ( Figure 5 A–C), with the exception being LPC (18:1) ( Figure 5 D).
