“a negative trend”

Both sets of radon levels show a negative trend but those with the pre-defined levels are less marked.

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.

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

Conclusions In summary, the present study showed a negative secular trend in Mozambican youth’s habitual PA, as well as a negative trend for most PA domains.

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.

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.

The current study’s results indicate a negative trend of correlations between EETs and Ang 1–7 or Ang 1–7/Ang II in COVID-19 patients is in concert with that report ( Table 3 and Table 5 ).

Three-step meta-analysis had shown a significant increase of MN frequency in untreated cancer patients and thyroid cancer patients after radioiodine treatment, and a negative trend of meta-FRs when plotted versus the dose used to study patients’ radiosensitivity.

Relationship Between Socioeconomic Variables And COVID-19 Indices The prevalence of COVID-19 showed a positive association with the life expectancy and literacy rate, and a negative trend-level association with the percentage of people living below the poverty line (all P s<.05) ( Table 2 ).

The Ebro Delta (EB), the largest breeding population in 1991, showed a negative trend and the largest fluctuations of breeding pairs resulting in a λ EB = 0.93 (CI: 0.59–1.47).

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.).

Nevertheless, a negative trend (increased number of COVID-19 cases with higher GSI) was detected for certain countries.

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 ].

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.

However, some studies found only a negative trend-level correlation [ 19 ], a positive correlation [ 20 ], or no correlation [ 18 , 22 , 24 , 25 , 29 , 30 , 31 ] between NS and effort allocation capacity.

However, the Antarctic warming is rather weak with the trend of almost below 0.69 °C per decade, and even a negative trend occurs in austral winter JJA under SSP1-1.9.

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.

1 B), 89 of 148 structures (60% of structures, 66% of the cortical gray matter) exhibit a negative trend of volume with age.

Differently, fasting insulin levels and HOMA-IR showed a negative trend with EO exposure, which may suggest a potential mechanism whereby EO exposure impacts insulin secretion by pancreatic β-cells rather than promoting insulin resistance.

The Gaffen IL-17 gene set showed a positive trend in skin and a negative trend in synovium.

Conversely, 46.30% of catchments show a negative trend, with 18.52/27.78% having a trend magnitude of < − 3/− 3–0 mm/year, mainly in central and lower central-eastern regions.

Nonetheless, a negative trend between ANGII with ANP or BNP was still observed, which suggest a counter-regulatory relationship between ANGII and NPs even under physiologic conditions.

The significant slope ( p <0.1) was used as a criterion for identifying either a positive or a negative trend.

The observed PRCPTOT has a positive trend of 31.83 mm·10years −1 , while the WRF results show a negative trend of −32.46 mm·10years −1 .

In addition, we found cases of either a statistically significant positive trend (DMEM+, 3/22 paths; NB+, 3/20 paths) or a negative trend in subcellular [cAMP] i distribution (DMEM+, 1/22 paths; NB+, 4/20 paths).
