“a clear trend”

As shown in Figure 4 , there was a clear trend of increasing gene expression levels of MET, MELK, SDC1 and TOP2A in primary tumor compared to normal samples.

However, in both genotypes a clear trend for this oxidative stress related group of variables to be impacted by the inoculation with the tested microorganisms can also be noted.

The frequency sweep profile did not show a clear trend as the curves were intersecting with each other.

After ACP treatment, the WHC and OHC of WGLU initially increased and then decreased, showing a clear trend concerning the treatment time.

Conversely, in a cohort of patients that had been treated with radiotherapy alone, STAT6 expression showed a clear trend towards a poor clinical outcome, which could be explained by the immune-evasive potential of STAT6-expressing tumor cells, if not attacked by platinum.

For the MV3 spheroids, we found a clear trend of decreasing cell invasion with decreasing matrix pore size, going from 2.4 mg/mL collagen to 8 mg/mL collagen and to 30 mg/mL GelMA and finally to 50 mg/mL ( Figure 2 E).

platensis extracts show a clear trend, regardless of the ionization technique and mode.

As expected, estimates based on all surviving trees (but excluding those with only two tips) show a clear trend: younger clades exhibit upwardly biased diversification rates (Table 1 ).

Data indicates that there is a clear trend to more robust processing of FL-UG to N at early tunicamycin timepoints in PWS cell lines.

On the other hand, there is a clear trend that indicates that higher SSA values are obtained when CaCl 2 is used, which can be nicely correlated to the microscopic investigation shown in the micrographs of Figure S6.

These factors together result in a clear trend of decreasing energy relaxation rates from GaN/AlN to GaSb/InAs finite- and infinite-square potential QW heterostructures.

In the ES1 experiments, biochar and coke were used as reductants. The results showed a clear trend in enhanced slag cleaning with increasing treatment time for both reductants, but systemically better results were obtained with biochar.

Across bands with different acquisition times, there was a clear trend toward lower SD (i.e., better precision) in all cDTI metrics with increasing number of acquisitions and scan time.

The comparison of fibre length distributions, based on fitted Weibull probability density functions (PDFs, Figure 3 ), revealed a clear trend of increasing fibre fragmentation with higher fibre volume fraction in the composites.

There was a clear trend of increasing hypoxia incidence with age, with the highest rate observed in the ≥ 70 age group.

In the final comparison between polylactide and zinc implants, there was a clear trend suggesting superior load-to-failure performance of the zinc (ZP) constructs; however, the differences did not reach statistical significance at 2 mm fracture displacement ( p = .164) (Table 1 ).

It can be seen that for spiking models, both the IF and SRIF method exhibit a clear trend of improved accuracy as T increases, which can be attributed to richer temporal feature extraction and reduced asynchronous errors with more time steps.

When we averaged the sensor readings across trials at various contact forces using the PressTip, we observed a clear trend as contact force increased.

Results Relationship between Study Period and the Reported Incidence of PVE after Primary Vaccination The estimated incidences of PVE after primary vaccination in studies conducted in different periods showed a clear trend toward lower incidences in more-recent periods ( Figure 1 A).

Average learning curves for major adverse events The rate of major adverse events (prolonged ventilation requiring tracheotomy, acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy, in-hospital death, stroke, etc.) remained low (<2%) and did not show a clear trend (shown in Figure 3 ).

The calculated average rooting rates across genotypes highlight a concentration-dependent reduction in rooting rates, with a clear trend of decreasing averages as Cd concentrations rise.

Differences among participants with low (LSQ), medium (MSQ), and high (HSQ) sleep quality reveal a clear trend: as sleep quality improves, self-perceived health increases and BMI decreases, suggesting a beneficial effect on weight management.

The data reveal a clear trend: the number of maxima decreases with increasing periodicity, as expected.

Variations in RWC, WSD, V a , V s , and V a / V s The average leaf RWC exhibited a clear trend in all coppice dunes according to the following order: growth stage of coppice dunes (81.54%) > stable stage of coppice dunes (80.84%) > initial stage of coppice dunes (79.56%) > declining stage of coppice dunes (72.49%) (Fig. 6 a).

Notably, LTP in PV + interneurons was markedly suppressed in the KI mice, although there was a clear trend towards enhancement—albeit not statistically significant—upon treatment with a higher concentration of 60 μM DCS (Fig. 5F ).
