D R showed a decreasing trend for plants exposed to 6-day darkness, whereas it was increased markedly by decapitation, indicating altered root membrane structure and permeability, and a modified ratio of apoplastic to cell-to-cell water and current pathways.

In EYRS, PR has a decreasing trend from west to east, and WC has a similar tendency.

When the dosage of biochar exceeded 5 wt%, the compressive strength of biochar concrete began to show a decreasing trend but remained higher than CK.

Interestingly, a very recent work [ 42 ] showed higher levels of O 2 ˉ and H 2 O 2 in rice ( Oryza sativa L.) roots, after 7 days of exposure to self-DNA, compared to the unexposed control, although the experimental timing prevents us from assessing if this corresponded to a prolonged ROS production or a decreasing trend after an earlier peak.

The number of surgeries due to failure of non-operative treatment showed a decreasing trend every year (Fig. 2 b).

Effect of UV Radiation on the Thermal Stability of Dyed Holocellulose Comparative analysis of the holocellulose, dyed holocellulose, and dyed holocellulose after 100 h of UV aging ( Figure 4 ), the endothermic peak (temperature) of the three samples presented an increasing trend, which was 122.75 °C, 124.30 °C, and 131.24 °C, respectively, but their endothermic capacity (heat flow) shows a decreasing trend.

Analysis of the strain pattern in each segment in the 3 groups From the basal segment to the apex, the RS in the ILVNC and DCM groups was consistent with that in the control group (i.e., basal segment > the middle segment and the middle = the apex, with a decreasing trend).

oleifera root N absorption, mainly NO 3 − part of which is absorbed by parenchyma cells around the ducts during transporting through xylem ducts, resulting in a decreasing trend of NO 3 − concentration in xylem from root, stem, leaves to kernel [ 56 ].

The increase in the sterilization cycle did not statistically decrease the fracture resistance of the FRRCs (p = .055); however, overall, a decreasing trend was observed in fracture resistance as the sterilization cycle increased.

However, infant mortality rates show a relative maximum in 1976, with a decreasing trend thereafter.

1 ), we can see a decreasing trend in the Gini coefficient for all three dimensions, the decreasing trend was more obvious in the demographic and economic dimensions.

In the current study, NDVI and SPRI had a decreasing trend while MCARI, Ctr1, and Lic2 increased under ‘PEG’ ( Table 1 ).

Thereafter, their expression levels showed a decreasing trend, but remained at the same or higher levels as compared with those before passage until 15 days after passage ( Fig 5C ).

On the contrary, the E-50 concrete did not exhibit a decreasing trend with the number of recycling, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the EMV method combined with a certain range of RCA replacement ratio.

No significant change was observed at the heading stage, but a decreasing trend was observed at the ripening stage with increasing N fertilization level in the rhizosphere of rice.

The pre-Covid-19 sample has a decreasing trend of economic worries for all employment types between t 0 and t 1 .

However, the z-score for birth weight showed that GDM offspring had higher birth weight than non-GDM offspring, and both groups demonstrated a decreasing trend ( Table 2 ).

In our longitudinal data, we found that both IFN-I assays showed a decreasing trend over time, which might imply that these assays could reflect disease activity.

In summary, the time-trend analysis indicates that all products have experienced an increase in squared trade imbalances, while capital goods, intermediate consumer goods, and raw materials exhibit a decreasing trend over the period from 1992 to 2020.
