From 1980 to 2017, the ratio of the short axis to the long axis of the standard deviational ellipse of the spatial distributions of the herbivorous animal husbandry industry in China showed a decreasing trend ( Fig 4a ), and the oblateness of the ellipse was observed to be smaller.

A decreasing trend was observed from the fourth time point, which we suspect was due to greater clearance of the original drug because of the development of resistance to platinum drugs in patients.

Only in the population Pino Real, λ values, in both study periods, had values slightly below the equilibrium, suggesting a decreasing trend, but these values were not far from the unity.

Both the actual and total BCKDH activity in the SAT depicted a decreasing trend with increasing obesity, with this reduction reaching statistical significance in class III obese cardiac surgery patients ( Figure 2D , Supplementary Figure 2A ).

Above Curie temperature, dielectric constant shows a decreasing trend.

(2000) reported a decreasing trend in SMR between 22 and 24°C, suggesting that the upper critical temperature limit is within this range.

However, it is worth noting that some multi-year studies described such kind of temporal trends, usually showing a decreasing trend of the disease burden in humans [ 14 , 17 , 21 , 32 ], whereas in animals both decreasing and stable trends were reported [ 34 , 41 , 65 ].

The disease monitoring indicators show that the distribution of TB cases is worldwide, with a decreasing trend in mortality and morbidity rates in developed countries. 1 Nevertheless, according to the WHO, about 10 million people are affected by TB each year, which makes the disease one of the top 10 causes of death on the planet and the leading cause of death by a single infectious agent among people living with the HIV. 2 Brazil ranks 20th on the list of 30 priority countries for fighting TB in the world. 2 The incidence of the disease in the country in 2018 was estimated at approximately 35 cases per 100 000 inhabitants.

Additionally, the change in LOS at the reference hospital over time, demonstrated a decreasing trend ( p -value for trend <0.001) that was not apparent in the comparison hospitals ( Figure 5 ).

In summary, the IVIM-DWI parameters of hepatic fibrosis tissues show a decreasing trend compared with those of normal hepatic tissues, and IVIM-DWI can be used for the diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis; however, the value of applying IVIM-DWI for hepatic fibrosis staging still requires further exploration.

Our findings are not consistent with that study, because we observed a decreasing trend in SFCT values from the first month onward in both the PXS and non-PXS groups.

4 ), the lake levels had a decreasing trend up to a minima of about 470.4 m ASVD in 1915.

While the higher resolution δ 13 C and Mg/Ca records show more structural features, the increasing trend in these proxies from ≈5 ka is matched by a decreasing trend in DCP approaching 4 ka, after which the trends are amplified until ≈3.7 ka.

Most abalone fisheries have shown historical fluctuations in their biomass with a decreasing trend ( Shepherd & Brown, 1993 ; Hobday, Tegner & Haaker, 2001 ; Dowling, Stephen & McGarvey, 2004 ; Appleyard, Carr & Elliott, 2009 ).
