“a decreasing trend”

In the placebo group, subject E62 demonstrated γ -GTP values during visit 3 (120 IU/L) which exceeded the normal range, similar to visit 1 (133 IU/L), but this was determined to be unrelated to the ingestion of test food materials because the γ -GTP values exhibited a decreasing trend.

A study was conducted by Garg in 2012 where it was reported that, in LFA, N 2 O showed a falling trend over time.[ 14 ] It was also viewed that O 2 is consumed in the body and have a decreasing trend over time [ Figure 2 ].

Group M achieved its baseline HR in first 10 min after 1 st interventional bolus (B1) while Group P showed a decreasing trend in HR, thus reflecting reflex bradycardia.

Increasing incidence trends were observed for breast cancer and lung cancer in women and for skin melanoma in both sexes, while lung cancer in men showed a decreasing trend.

Flow Permeability As illustrated in Figure 7 , with the increasing of strut size, average permeability showed a decreasing trend for RD and OT shapes, but average velocity would increase.

The residents in all three groups showed a decreasing trend in their average number of inpatient cases (2.36, 0.45 and 0.02 for the HC, MC and LC groups, respectively), average number of inpatient cases and annual LOS (25.69, 3.28 and 0.1).

The annual asthma exacerbation rates ranged between 25% and 35%, with a decreasing trend over time until 2009, followed by a plateau since 2010 ( Supplementary Table 2 and Fig. 3B ).

During the late stage of fermentation, the accumulation of products inhibited cell growth; thus, the cell dry weight showed a decreasing trend.

As the roughness parameter in the red bars increased, the fine yarn fabric weights of 3.5 to 7.5 oz/yd 2 presented an increasing linear dependence on the roughness properties, while fabrics with thick yarn ranging from 7.5 to 15 oz/yd 2 demonstrated a decreasing trend on fingertip tactile perception, which means the participants were not able to discriminate these three thick-yarn fabrics simply relying on surface roughness only during the fingertip scanning on fabric surfaces.

In adult recipients of HCT, another cause of CNS infection is Listeria monocytogenes that produces brain abscess, with a decreasing trend because of the use of trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole and Nocardia asteroids (Safdar et al., 2002).

While a decreasing trend in resistance patterns for most antimicrobial classes was observed, there is still a problem with antimicrobial resistance for cephalosporins and quinolone drugs as evidenced by lack of significant difference in odds for resistance to cephalosporins between the 2002–2009 and 2010–2016 periods and identification of isolates resistance to quinolones in 2013 and 2015.

The mean air temperatures for the year, January, and July are -5 to 11 ° C, -18 to -6 ° C and 5 to 20 ° C, respectively, which also show a decreasing trend from the southeast to the northwest.

Concerning the 15 N isotope composition, as observed by other authors ( Kolb and Evans, 2003 ) a decreasing trend of δ 15 N values within the different plant organs was observed as lifecycle draws on, decreasing in the non-fertilized plant organs from a mean 6‰ at GS36 and GS60 to 3.5‰ at GS90 and from a mean 4‰ to 2‰ in the fertilized plants ( Figure 2 ).

Inclusion studies of colectomy showed a significant decrease in the time to first postoperative flatus and a decreasing trend in the time to postoperative bowel movement.

Both women and men had a decreasing trend of recurrent to primary ACL ruptures, although women had a steeper decrease.

There was a decreasing trend in both SIRT1 and PPAR-α expression levels in the IDH2 FRU mice compared to the other groups, which is also in agreement with phenotypes (i.e., Figure 1 E).

In addition, R 2 of the regression equation exhibited a decreasing trend under the conditions of normal, mild wetness, and moderate wetness.

If TiO 2 was not able to develop pozzolanic or hydraulic activity, a decreasing trend would have been detected for cement pastes added with increasing TiO 2 content.

Overall, bar charts suggest a decreasing trend in biting rates over months and a Likelihood ratio test, based on a negative binomial regression function, strongly rejects the null hypothesis that monthly biting rates are equal across all 4 mo (χ 2 = 69.63; P value < 0.01).

Of these, 2.5% were sensitised to diaminodiphenylmethane with a decreasing trend.

Secondly, with the augment of LF-SMB volume ratio, the flow behavior index at each temperature presents a decreasing trend gradually, causing that the asphalt mastics with 0.4 and 0.6 LF-SMB volume ratio cannot reach the flow state whose flow behavior index must be greater than 0.9.
