“a decreasing trend”

In our basin‐scale assessment, precipitation and runoff show a decreasing trend in the northern and southern regions of the continent (groups 1 and 4) and an increasing trend in tropical Africa and the Sahel (groups 2 and 3), which corroborates the results of previous studies (Dai, 2011a , 2011a , b ; Milly et al., 2005 ).

According to our clinical experience, we also investigated whether a decreasing trend in the absolute number of lymphocytes was correlated with mortality.

A decreasing trend in first-line antibiotic resistance rates over time is promising.

A decreasing trend in equilibrium film thickness was observed with increasing polymeric and electrolyte concentrations at a particular level, i.e., 10 −1 mol dm −3 for NaCl, 10 −6 mol dm −3 for Inutec®SP1 and 10 −2 or 1 mol dm −3 for Na 2 SO 4 .

Lymphocyte percentage in the whole blood was not significantly different between HDs and COVID‐19 patients, though it exhibited a decreasing trend in the patients (Figure 1A ).

Mobility and its association with COVID-19 incidences Due to COVID-19 spread, several countries have gone through restrictive measures to control human mobility and thereby, a decreasing trend of mobility from baseline was observed in most of the countries.

Regarding Nanjing City, although the outputs of the 1 st , 2 nd , and 3 rd industries all showed a decreasing trend in ESV, the “2 nd industry output value” had the highest influence intensity, indicating the urgency and necessity of controlling its proportion.

5 the concentration values show a decreasing trend with time since the 222 Rn pumped during the selected pumping period intervals was not able to compensate for decay and leak.

Temporal trends in these metrics suggest an increasing trend in the rate of patient lists per day but a decreasing trend in COVID-19 reports (Fig. 5 ).

However, the r g / O 2 value is lower than that calculated for a 2e − /O 2 process and more surprisingly, although the RC potential gradually increases, r g / O 2 shows a decreasing trend up to ≈15% SOC that corresponds to ≈3.5 V versus Li/Li + .

The NDVI value showed an increasing trend with land use type of agricultural land, shrub land and also forestland with value of 0.043 (6.8%), 0069 (9.9%) and 0.077(11.6%) respectively, whereas as in the land use type of grassland and wetland NDVI value showed a decreasing trend with value of 0.082 (15.2%) and 0.11(23.6%) respectively.

Their results showed a decreasing trend of marine carrying capacity in Guangxi, mainly due to human activities such as land reclamation, fishing, coastal industry, port construction, and tourism activities.

In pure methanol, the retention of hemicellulose exhibited a decreasing trend with temperature increasing.

A decreasing trend in human use of fires in this region has been reported (Aragao & Shimabukuro, 2010 ; Chen, Velicogna, et al., 2013 ), which may not be captured by the climate‐only model, resulting in poor predictions.

The textural parameters summarized in Table S1 show that, the values of both Brunauer‐Emmett‐Teller (BET) surface area and pore volume exhibit a decreasing trend with an increasing amount of Ag (Figure S5).

The NR activity showed a decreasing trend during the grain-filling phase, higher at 3 DAA, then slowly decreased and was lowest at 17 DAA ( Fig 4A and 4B ).

Deaths from gastric cancer The number of deaths from gastric cancer was 48 427 in 2013, 47 903 in 2014, 46 659 in 2015, 45 531 in 2016, 45 210 in 2017, and 44 192 in 2018 showing a decreasing trend after widening of the NHI indications for H. pylori eradication therapy.

Moreover, the mortality ratios for subjects with full allowance showed a decreasing trend during the follow‐up period. 4 DISCUSSION This long‐term observational study showed that, compared with the general population, subjects who had ingested arsenic‐contaminated Morinaga Dry Milk when they were aged ≤ 2 y had an increased mortality risk.

However, central Quebec, Canada also experienced widespread SV loss and TC gain, but R s in this area showed a decreasing trend ( Fig. 2B and fig.

In normal chow Huh7 tumours, there was a decreasing trend of haematoxylin staining in the drug-treated tumours (Fig. 7 ), however overall this was non-significant.

Similarly, the level of negative emotion was highest during the initial period (19th–26th January) and then showed a decreasing trend.

From 1990 to 2017, the age-standardised incidence, death and DALY rates among males showed a decreasing trend, with the incidence decreasing from 42.5 to 40.0, the death rates decreasing from 41.6 to 35.4, and the DALYs decreasing from 937.6 to 734.1.

falciparum showed a decreasing trend, whereas the opposite was true for P. vivax , which is similar to the national trend. 37 As countries embark on malaria elimination, P. falciparum incidence declines more rapidly than the incidence of P. vivax because of the greater effectiveness of vector control interventions on the former. 38 Tr

Black physicians represent 3.7% of the US plastic surgery residents and fellows, with a decreasing trend of black integrated plastic surgery residents, and <2% of plastic surgery faculty. 11 , 12 Most plastic surgery training programs’ curricula lack implicit bias and cultural competency training when compared with other specialties (family medicine, emergency medicine, etc.). 13 , 14 Finally, access
