“a negative trend”

Our data on tibia and tarsus shows a negative trend, meaning as female leg length increases, the male leg length decreases in the northern population of the Painted Stork.

This is more evident for sardine, which according to assessments made by GFCM (2017 ), has seen a negative trend in landings and acoustic biomass estimates since 1994 in GSA 6.

As a result, the interpretation of DALYs attributed to NAFLD, particularly when there is a negative trend in mortality or disability, should be approached with caution [ 10 , 37 ].

Some studies (e.g., References [ 16 , 17 ]) showed that O 3 background concentrations have a negative trend associated with the decrease of its lifetime in regions of low NO x (remote regions), leading to an increase in the O 3 levels in the eastern and northeast parts of the United States (U.S.).

In contrast, Kalken alone had a negative trend over the study period and using this estimate would increase the chance of finding negative impacts of future scenarios on population growth rates.

Since a close to scale-free GRN should show a negative trend in the logarithmic setting, a coefficient value r ( α ( g ) , β ( g ) ) = − 1 would be optimal.

These curves show evidence of a positive trend of the relative gamma during the MIST phase and a negative trend during the relaxation phase.

Depressive symptoms as measured by BDI and MADRS and MDD diagnosis were not associated with GABA+, BDNF polymorphism or BDNF serum concentrations, but we found a negative trend towards a correlation between GABA+ concentration and MADRS total score in males but not in females.

Even if a negative trend was observed in the reading rate with respect to the decrease of the tactile acuity, no final conclusion can be drawn (Stevens et al., 1996 ).

The insertion attack shows a positive increase (low to high) on attacked digits, where as a negative trend (high to low) is observed in attacked digits for deletion attack.

Regarding plant-based dietary factors, the present study found a negative trend between high-frequency consumption of soy products and the risk of precancerous SPs.

Although there is a negative trend across all input noise levels, no other comparison yielded significance.

In the month of May (Summer) a negative trend is observed due to excess withdrawal of groundwater and a positive trend in the month of August (Monsoon) owing to replenishing GWLs.

We investigated time trends in these standardized mortality rates, from 1996 to 2011, with a linear regression model which assumes a constant (linear) trend over the series, to test the hypothesis of a positive or a negative trend (slope different from zero).

However, the highest elevation site inhibited Bd growth and showed a negative trend for Bsal growth ( figure 4 a,b ) while having the lowest overall bacterial diversity and dominance ( figure 2 b ), contrary to the pattern that more diverse communities are more resistant to invasion [ 17 , 18 ].

The Insomnia Severity Index was used in all 4 case studies [ 29 – 32 ], and most of the participants showed a negative trend in the Insomnia Severity Index scores, which indicated improvements in insomnia, although the decrease in insomnia severity was not clinically significant in the study of Lu et al.

The SW effect dominates the LW effect such that the total downward radiative flux has a negative trend and thus contributes to the slowdown of the surface warming.

A change to a negative trend occurred in five of the 16 indicators over the three year period (mental health care planning, and blood pressure ≤150/90 mm Hg in people with peripheral arterial disease, stroke or transient ischaemic attack, coronary heart disease, or diabetes).

However, biochar produced at lower pyrolysis temperatures was more effective as a P fertilizer, as a negative trend was evident in the performance of biochar with increasing pyrolysis temperature (Figure 4 ).

Modeling the immigration rate over time predicted a negative trend, possibly reflecting the re-establishment of a new configuration, but further work is needed to determine if the microbiome and metabolome of CF airways have reached a new steady state with the broad administration of ETI.

Shock was not significant but showed a negative trend (OR = 0.85) 19 .

Moreover, it is interesting to note that there is a negative trend in reactions of the PD (though not statistically significant), which however may be hypothesized to be an indication of the resistance to novelty that can be present in people of older age groups.

The BIC descriptor exhibits a negative trend with increasing SHAP values ( Figure 5 b).

Corresponding to observed correlations, whilst positive trends could be observed between overall percentage of WGM and percentage of WGM in leadership ( A ), and between mean GII of the EB and GII of the journal country ( D ), a negative trend could be observed between the percentage of overall WGM and percentage of overall LMIC-based editors ( C ).

Recent studies report a negative trend in the frequency of MD since 1950s 2 15 16 17 , in spite of increasing SST over BoB.
