“a decreasing trend”

It can indicate that when the exposure parameters (kVp and mAs) increased, the visual grading scoring show a decreasing trend.

However, when the amount of cellulase added was continually increased, the CH 4 yield revealed a decreasing trend; the addition of 0.4 and 0.5 mL cellulase lowered the CH 4 yield by 10.40% and 13.10% compared to the highest yield, respectively.

Thus, the amount of medium acid sites showed a decreasing trend.

Upon increasing the carbonization temperature except for carbon, atomic percentage for rest of the elements show a decreasing trend with only small amount of nitrogen (0.69%) existing in Co@NGr-900.

4(a) , we can see that the interlayer distance is reduced and the band gap of the heterostructure exhibits a decreasing trend when compressive strain is exerted.

With an increase in the current density, the cathode potentials exhibited a decreasing trend, leading to variation in the polarization curves.

For the first kind, the ratio was either saturated, such as H 2 and CH 2 CH 2 (first and bottom), or increased slowly, such as CO (second); the other kind, for CH 4 , showed a decreasing trend (third).

Food-related anaphylaxis was the highest in 2008 (18.1%), and then showed a decreasing trend from 2010 ( Fig 5B ).

On the contrary, the addition of clay in PLA showed a decreasing trend in its thermal stability. 158 The addition of both micro- and nano-MMT in polymers could accelerate the rate of photo-oxidative degradation in comparison to neat polymers. 154 This can be attributed to the influence of MMT and the reactions of its ammonium ion.

While increasing chloride ion concentration from 0.025 mol L −1 to 1.0 mol L −1 , the efficacy in the extraction of vanadium showed a decreasing trend, i.e. , from 65.37% to 57.24%, whereas tungsten extraction decreased from 57.63% to 46.66%.

The vertical SnSe p-TFET shows a generally better behavior on energy consumption at a shorter L g as a decreasing trend of PDP is seen.

8(b) , the electrical conductivity of PD-5 increased gradually (but steadily) and turned to a decreasing trend at 230 °C, which is close to the glass transition temperature of PASS.

PEGML–solvent hydrogen bond ( Table 3 ) interaction appears to occur much more frequently as compared to the solute–solute (PEGML–PEGML) case, showing a decreasing trend with increasing carbon chain length in the alcohol molecule.

32 In addition, it was found out that EE exhibited a decreasing trend as the proportion of DSS in the stock solution of the sample increased with the internal water phase.

If we raise the temperature from 110 °C to 170 °C, it demonstrates a high gas sensing response, an enhancement in the conductivity/resistivity and a speedy recovery at an optimal temperature of 170 °C, while for an increasing temperature, it shows a decreasing trend in the response and recovery.

In addition, the curve of capacitance shows a decreasing trend, which is ascribe to the insufficient diffusion of OH − ions with increasing the scan rate. 33 The better electrochemical properties of CuCo 2 O 4 -12 electrode are attributed to the mesoporous nanoneedle array architecture, which provides a direct electron transport, facilitates the electrolyte penetration and reduces the interfacial resistance. 34,35 The above evidence implies that proper reactant concentration leads to better nanostructure and higher electrochemical performance.

Moreover, the gyrate of the protein show a decreasing trend after 80 ns, indicating that the structure is tightened.

The logarithmic dN indicates a decreasing trend of residuals along with the fitted values, except for predictor variable GC12.

When the concentration of Zn to Cd ratio is over 14, the Cd accumulation shows a decreasing trend and the cellular Zn increasing (Töpperwien et al. 2007 ).

In this study, we found that pharmacological treatment increased central and circulating levels of tryptophan, while brain levels of quinolinic acid, kynurenine, and the kynurenine/tryptophan ratio showed a decreasing trend or statistically significant decrease.

While, the average fiber diameter showed a decreasing trend and with increasing distance, the mean fiber diameter decreased, which was consistent with the results by researchers Zulfikar et al.

Both R and D values show a decreasing trend with the increase in light intensity.

15,54,55 In KB tumors, the retention rate showed an increasing trend and then a decreasing trend, and it was high at 24 h, which also indicated that laser should be applied after 24 h in PTT ( Fig. 5b ). 3.3.

A study of health facilities in one district of Sierra Leone with a relatively low level epidemic found that utilisation of antenatal, delivery and family planning care had a decreasing trend immediately after the end of the Ebola epidemic (from March 2015 to December 2017), compared to the increasing trend seen before ( Quaglio et al., 2019 ).

The halo radii after SMILE were significantly increased at 1 week, showed a decreasing trend at 1 month, returned to baseline at 3 months, and progressed stably at 6 months.
