“a decreasing trend”

If diatom guilds are analyzed individually, varied effects of environmental and spatial components emerged across lake clusters: (a) for the high‐profile and low‐profile guilds (“weak dispersers”), the spatial component overrode the effect of environmental factors in most lake clusters and showed a decreasing trend of the explained variability with latitude (Figure 5 ); (b) for the motile and planktic guilds (“strong dispersers”), the environmental and spatial components were equally significantly associated with diatom metacommunity structuring in certain lake clusters (Bolivian‐Brazilian lowlands, Peruvian Andes and Bolivian Andes; Figure 5 ).

From 1917 onwards there was a decreasing trend in the annual rainfall component that switched to an increasing trend in 1935, after which rainfall increased from a low of about 600 mm to a high of about 850 mm in 1962 ( Fig 3B ).

Sygera in 2015 and found out that the POP concentrations had no obvious variation on the windward side but observed a decreasing trend on the leeward side along the altitude.

Interestingly, IL-6/IL-10 ratios were the highest in both groups at the start of the HD session and showed a decreasing trend during the dialysis session, although not significant compared to baseline.

Notably, a decreasing trend of the sulfation rates was observed with increasing concentration of some bufadienolides (including CB, BF and RB), suggesting the non-classical kinetics of SULT2A1 mediated sulfation of these bufadienolides.

Results Compared with the levels in the NAD group, the Th1, Th9, Th17, Th22, and their transcription factor levels were increased and the Th2, Treg, and their transcription factor levels exhibited a decreasing trend in AD patients.

Median charges at Apollo were hospital only (INR 264,302), hospital/OPAT (INR 189,554), and OPAT only (INR 41,380), showing a decreasing trend [ Table 3 ].

By means of 3km satellite aerosol optical depth (AOD) database and geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR) modelling, He et al., (2018) [ 66 ] also add evidence to the fact that air pollution in the BTH urban agglomeration generally showed a decreasing trend from January 2013 to December 2015.

As shown in Figure 23 , the ARD of all the four methods shows a decreasing trend with the increase of the recharging rate.

A decreasing trend upon PUFA extraction was observed using Q4 (P of 260 bar) [ 35 ].

Decrease in Chlorophyll a (Chl a) pigment was more significant than that in Chlorophyll (Chl b) in the infested plants and the Chl a/b ratio showed a decreasing trend with increase in aphid damage severity.

The imaginary part of the effective refractive index was initially large reaching up to 794 nm then followed by a decreasing trend.

Contamination-level-assessment calculated by the geo-accumulation index (I geo ) showed that the pollution-level ranged from non-contaminated to extreme contamination, while the calculations of enrichment factor (EF) showed that EF values exhibited a decreasing trend: Cd > Hg > As > Pb > Cu > Co > Zn > Ni > Cr > V > Mn > Mg > Fe > Sr > Ba.

There is also a decreasing trend related to the cutting speed that plateaus in a horizontal line.

SOM generally showed a decreasing trend.

The distribution index interval for these two durations showed a decreasing trend as the duration increased.

In Figure 2 A, the flexural strength showed a decreasing trend with increasing NACP percentage, because the glass filler level was decreasing from 50% to 20%.

As to air pollutants, there was a decreasing trend of concentration from 2014 to 2016.

Then the relationship between the under-segmentation error and the number of supervoxels was shown as following: Since the number of super voxels increased, the over-segmentation errors of the four methods show a decreasing trend.

There was an increasing trend for most diacyl-PCs in the lungs of tolerant mice, while most showed a decreasing trend in mouse diacyl-PC profiles in the lungs of injured mice.

A decreasing trend in soil C levels was noticed with the increase in soil depth in all the soil types (SI Tables 2–4).

pneumoniae in Europe but with a decreasing trend from 68.2% in 2011 to 61.9% in 2015.

On the other hand, the reduction of plasma creatine kinase in the 1 × 10 × 5 group, which after the first time showed a decreasing trend, is another interesting finding of this study.

Suburban and urban occupancy probabilities were not statistically different from wild for any of the species ( Figure 3—figure supplement 1 ) and we noted a decreasing trend in occupancy from urban to wild ( Figure 3 ).

A decreasing trend in late age at SF introduction (≥ 9 months) was seen across increasing categories of gestational age, birth year, and maternal education at nurses' birth; a higher percentage of nurses born prematurely (32 to < 36 weeks), born between 1946 and 1949, and with mothers who had < 12 years education were introduced to SF later.
