On the other hand, the time series of CO 2 concentration shows a positive trend of 2.1 ppm/yr for the same time period.

A positive trend in CL vs. weight observed using the base model was eliminated, and CL vs. age was left with only a slight negative slope that did not visibly deviate from the regression line.

Although betanin pretreatment leads to an increase in ATP levels as compared to the LPS-induced group, its level changes indicate a positive trend in mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress inhibition.

As the concentration of S-ZnONPs rose, a positive trend was seen in the majority of the investigated antioxidant compounds; nevertheless, certain compounds displayed a decline, as was the case for CAT activity.

The monthly percentage change index for the outpatients (mean percentage variation = 13.83; 95% CI: −8.58, 42.67) and telemedicine activity series (mean percentage variation = 5.14%; 95% CI: −6.43, 16.46) during the COVID-19 pandemic, shows a positive trend concerning telemedicine continuity and utility.

A positive trend was observed between effluent temperature and Zn removal rate, potentially linked to decreased activity of sulfate‐reducing bacteria at lower temperatures (Gandy & Jarvis, 2012 ).

Recent studies ( Alfieri et al., 2015 ) aimed at evaluating climate projections using the EURO CORDEX RCP8.5 scenarios, show a positive trend for the maximum daily precipitations in most European countries by the end of the century.

Despite a positive trend during the last couple of years there is still a lot room for improvement both with regard to quantity but also in terms of the type of studies.

The decrease in the incidence of salmonellosis in Germany between 2012 and 2023 might reflect a positive trend in public health efforts and food safety.

Therefore, while a positive trend was noted, statistically significant locomotor recovery was not demonstrated within the 72-hour observation period ( Fig. 3 ).

Indeed, we documented a positive trend in bat activity by both species with increasing number of hibernating conspecifics in caves, but more so for western small-footed myotis.

Although the PSM analysis did not reach the conventional statistical significance threshold ( p < 0.05), a positive trend was observed at a 10% alpha level.

We found no significant correlations in HVA strength when comparing across all conditions ( p > 0.1), although there was, generally, a positive trend in the HVA strength between conditions.

Within protected areas, predictions vary slightly but generally show a positive trend by 2080, especially under ensemble models.

Results showed that body size in the Oryzomyini tribe evolved according to phylogenetic relationships, with a positive trend, from a small sized ancestor.

In unadjusted analysis, there was a positive trend in risk of keratinocyte carcinoma with continuous measure of electric field strength and across thirds of field strength.

It was similar among the participating nurses, with a positive trend over time.

Due to global warming and the increased atmospheric CO 2 , there is a positive trend in overall forest productivity, mainly when water restriction is not a limiting factor (Boisvenue and Running, 2006 ).

A positive trend indicates that vegetation restoration is primarily driven by human activities, and vice versa.

Additionally, an increase in the extraction temperature is associated with a positive trend in resveratrol yield, and the trend of the increase of extraction temperature accompanied by the rise of resveratrol yield was more obvious compared with the enzyme concentration, which may be due to the fact that in the interaction between the two parameters, the impact of extraction temperature on resveratrol yield was more significant than that of enzyme concentration, a finding that aligns with the screening results from the PBD model.
