Further, even though no signs of genetic inbreeding were observed from the estimates of individual inbreeding coefficient F and between individuals (F IS ) in each generation, the kinship coefficient showed a slightly increasing trend in the recent generations, due to a relatively smaller non-random sample size compared to the entire captive population.

The tapping rate showed a slightly increasing trend with increasing relative tremor power, while tremor frequency slightly decreased with increasing relative tremor power, which may express a (weak) attraction between tremor and repetitive voluntary movement [ 31 ].

The multi-proxy average shows a slightly increasing trend to 850 metric tons in 2021 with individual proxies indicating emissions ranging from 550 to 1000 metric tons in this period, consistent with the estimates by UNEP (2018) and Streets et al.

No significant change is observed in EAPE values with a change in tree parameters, however, EAPE values have a slightly increasing trend with an increase in sample size which shows a trend of unbiasedness for larger sample sizes.

Moreover, the differences between non-encapsulated groups sharply increased with the increase in polyphenol concentration, whilst a slightly increasing trend was observed in the encapsulated group.

However, such declining areas may not show at larger pixel sizes due to their relatively small spatial extent, particularly if the surrounding areas show a slightly increasing trend.

The concentrations of NH 4 + showed a slightly increasing trend from the beginning (7.7 μg m −3 ) to the end (10.6 μg m −3 ) of Fog 1.

As the vapor temperature increases, the tensile strength shows a slightly increasing trend, which is similar to the findings of Zhao et al.

Notably, the ddc2c3 quadruple mutant exhibited a significantly lengthened circadian period by about 0.8 h ( ddc2c3 24.08 ± 0.05 h), with a slightly increasing trend (though not statistically significant) relative to that of the ddc3 triple mutant (23.99 ± 0.05 h) (Figure 3A – C ).

In addition, the industrial operation has a strong relationship with PM 2.5 pollution concentration in southwest regions where the industrial operation was less affected and PM 2.5 pollution also showed a slightly increasing trend.

However, it started a slightly increasing trend thereafter.

When attention is directed to the random-dot adapter by a demanding task, the dynamic MAE shows a slightly increasing trend in the first few days followed by a gradual decrease over the remainder of training days.

The soil nutrient content during the lack of fertilization long term exhibited a slightly increasing trend; the reason may be that during the entire growth cycle of the crop, its aboveground growth is vigorous, and the residual branches, leaves, and roots return to the soil through the humification process, which increases the soil nutrient content.

Acknowledging the sometimes wide confidence intervals, Scotland has been experiencing a slightly increasing trend since 1989 (95% CI 1986–1993) with an APC of 0.1% (−0.0 to 0.1).

In Fig 8(a) with a slope ratio of 1:2, the reliability index values show a decreasing trend for all RF types (stationary RF, RF type 1, and RF type 2) with the minor autocorrelation distance, while in Fig 8(b) with a slope ratio of 1:1, the reliability index values show a slightly increasing trend.

The decrease in friction that occurs after the running-in phase does not lead to stabilisation but shows a slightly increasing trend.

Congenital birth defects and hearing loss due to meningitis, however, have shown only minor fluctuations over time, with congenital birth defects maintaining a slightly increasing trend, while the prevalence of hearing loss due to meningitis has a substantial decrease.
