Based on the landcover dataset from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 94 , we identified a positive trend in compactness of 0.016 per year in the GBA from 2001 to 2024, indicating progressively more compact urban development (Supplementary Fig. 16 ).
A scatter plot of zone efficiency revealed a positive trend where larger cultivation areas were associated with higher average yields in 2025 (Fig. 3 d).
Furthermore, although the improvement in PA did not reach statistical significance, a positive trend was noted, which may reflect improvements in cellular membrane integrity and overall nutritional status.
Although the improvements in preventive practices are modest, they still reflect a positive trend toward adopting measures that could potentially reduce the spread and impact of STH infections.
Maintaining Momentum As previously discussed, “ Growth of Women's Sports” was identified as a positive trend across all occupation groups.
A positive trend is also found in the Amazon basin and has been described, for instance, in Chen et al.
However, a positive trend in the average quality index and a negative trend in the standard deviation are observed as the refinement of the mesh increases.
This uptake, suggested to occur by endocytosis, was not specific or efficient, and thus considered a positive trend in terms of minimizing putative nonspecific incorporation of nano-DDSs in healthy cells.
In one repeat dose toxicity study [1], a positive trend in follicular cell hyperplasia was identified as statistically significant with chronic exposure of mice but not rats, but only at the highest exposure concentration of 750 ppm.
Despite this, group differences over the full 34 weeks can only be interpreted with caution due to the lack of a control group and we just see this as a positive trend.
When UIC was higher than 527 μ g/L, there was a positive trend between UIC and the risk of thyroid nodules, although it was not statistically significant.
We found a positive trend in SARS-CoV-2 RNA as detected by both tests (RT-qPCR and RT-ddPCR) in male compared to female newborns ( Table 2 ).
We found a positive trend in the pooled estimate of six studies reporting on short-term mortality toward treatment with levosimendan (RR 0.69, 95% CI 0.47–1.00, low-level of evidence).
Under the background of climate change, the temperature in the Hexi Corridor has increased significantly, and ET 0 is greatly influenced by temperature and shows a positive trend.
First, a positive trend in luminescence quantum yield was observed from [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ ( 17 ) to bis(annulation) product 31 to tris(annulation) product 33 .
A positive trend of mortality decline in the working-age population was recorded during 2005–2021, from 827.8 per 100,000 people in 2005 to 470.0 per 100,000 people in 2019 (the last prepandemic year), but during the next two years, an increase to 604.6 in 2021 was recorded ( Figure 2 .
A positive trend in skin friction coefficient is manifested against the increasing magnitude of Reynold number.
The first phenomenon is dominant, as D 0 still has a positive trend with the increase in temperature.
The analysis of graft loss and patient survival showed no significant difference between day- and nighttime surgery but a positive trend toward operation started during the daytime.
They will sample the environment for opportunities that confirm this expectation of a positive trend, predicting in extreme cases an overall state of flourishing in the future.
The results demonstrated the following: (1) senior radiotherapists with more than fifteen years of experience were outperformed by the DNN; (2) the relationship between the radiologist’s experience and the diagnostic performance showed a positive trend [ 27 ]; and (3) the DNN’s performance was negatively impacted by low CT image resolution [ 1 , 9 ].
While not statistically significant, other categories such as ophthalmological, hearing, and dermatological also showed improved diagnostic performance, reflecting a positive trend that may have been underestimated due to the heavy dependence of the statistical tests on the sample size.
For the accelerometer-derived measure of MVPA, significant negative trends in risk factor levels with increasing MVPA were evident for insulin, HOMA IR , triglyceride, systolic blood pressure and percentage body fat and a positive trend was observed for HDL cholesterol.
Thus, the limited available evidence on effects of yogic breathing on respiratory system indicates a positive trend of change in the respiratory physiology. 3.4 Effects of yogic breathing on biochemical and metabolic variables Curiosity of what causes the changes that are observed following the practice of yogic breathing, led to a study which examined the changes in arterial blood gas levels following the practice of Pranayama .
Despite the marked overall delay in operative treatment of UDT on the one hand, our data, on the other hand, reveals also a positive trend regarding the timing of surgery.
