“a decreasing trend”

A positive value of Qi suggests an increasing trend, and a negative value of Qi offers a decreasing trend in the time series.

At the national level, a decreasing trend in ASDR of CKD attributed to HFPG was observed in 81 countries, primarily located in regions with higher SDI, such as Eastern Europe.

We identified a decreasing trend in the period and cohort risk of developing liver cancer for both sexes.

The areas with a decreasing trend are mainly distributed in Hetian County, Weili County, and near the Altai Mountains ( Figure 4G ).

It can be found that with the increase of input torque, the LSC of all gear pairs shows a decreasing trend, and the increase of torque inhibits the decline rate of LSC.

At the bulblet appearance and enlargement stage, the enzymes involved in the starch synthetic direction, such as ADP-glucose Pyrophosphorylase (AGPase, EC 2.7.7.27), Starch Synthase (SS, EC 2.4.1.21), Starch Branching Enzyme (SBE, EC 2.4.1.18) and Granule-bound Starch Synthase (GBSS, EC 2.4.1.242), showed a decreasing trend in mother scales but higher gene expression levels in newly formed bulblets, while the enzyme in the starch cleavage direction, Starch Debranching Enzyme (DBE, EC 3.2.1.10), showed higher expression levels in scales than in bulblets in lily ( Li et al., 2014 ).

Literature 27 shows that for a time series signal, if its Hurst exponent shows a decreasing trend with the growth of q , the time series signal has a significant multiscale property.

It is noteworthy that, after 120 h of methanol-induced culture, the growth density of multi-copy strains exhibited a decreasing trend, particularly in the case of the four-copies.

The mitochondrial ROS levels also showed a decreasing trend in the NAC group ( Figure 5(B) ).

At the same time, the detection of the MMP showed a decreasing trend in the MET group (Figure 5D ).

Fortunately, at least in the EU, studies show that the use of parabens has a decreasing trend combining both the EU regulation as well as customer preference to use paraben-free products [ 32 ].

Preoperative anti-Brucella treatment lasted for 3 weeks until the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was ≤30 mm/1 h and C-reactive protein (CRP) was ≤45 mm/1 h with a decreasing trend.

Developmental trajectories of homotopic interhemispheric rsFC vary across regions in healthy populations, with sensorimotor regions showing increasing homotopic rsFC and higher-order processing regions such as the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), striatum, and parietal and occipital areas showing a decreasing trend associated with age (Zuo et al ., 2010 ).

No significant differences between fertilizer types were found for specific leaf area, which in general showed a decreasing trend from 69 DAP and ranged between 282.3 to 214.2 cm2 g −1 ( Figure 2C ).

However, analysis of the results on day 7 revealed a decreasing trend in inflammatory response.

500 Hz), despite a decreasing trend in the size of the cortical response.

MPO-ANCA showed a decreasing trend but remained positive (10.1–25.0 U/mL).

According to a previous report, the loss of CD28 expression on T cells was significantly associated with the aging of the immune system ( 30 ); this report identified a decreasing trend of CD8 + CD28 + T cells with age.

This seemingly produces two segments of different slopes: the first extends from January 2007 to the end of September 2009 (pre-intervention period), showing an increasing trend, and the second extends from the beginning of October 2010 to the end of December 2013 (post-intervention period), showing a decreasing trend.

The proportion of “improved” eyes that increased by >0.3 logMAR over the 2 years did not differ to a statistically significant extent between the groups ( P = 0.360 [ANOVA]; Figure 1 C [black rhombus]), whereas the proportion of “worsened” eyes that decreased by >0.3 logMAR showed a decreasing trend ( P for trend < 0.001; Figure 1 C [white rhombus]).

However, the before and after studies showed a decreasing trend of ICU length of stay in patients whose care teams followed a weaning protocol, but no significant difference between the two groups (MD, –3.24 days; 95% CI, –6.52 to –0.77; P=0.05).

It can be seen from Figure 5B , with the increase of irrigation amount, IWUE showed a decreasing trend.

We observed an increasing trend in ST 24:1;O4;G and a decreasing trend in ST 24:1;O5 levels in AD (Fig. 2 b); the ST 24:1;O5 and ST 24:1;O4;G metabolites are cholic acid and a bile acid metabolite of the glycine conjugate.

5 ) revealed that nurses with high social connectedness (B=-0.108, SE = 0.084, t=-1.292, 95% CI: -0.273, 0.056, P > 0.05) showed a decreasing trend in perceived stress as positive perfectionism increased, compared to those with low social connectedness (B = 0.290, SE = 0.078, t = 3.728, 95% CI: 0.137, 0.443, P < 0.001).

5%) presented a decreasing trend with peaks in both cold and rainy seasons.
