“an increasing trend”

The regression curve shows an increasing trend in dry root yield till N 90 , P 40 , and K 20 ; after that, it nearly stabilized.

When the dynamic stress amplitude and vibration frequency were large, the axial strain of the coral sand samples increased with the vibration frequency, and the growth rate exhibited an increasing trend.

We examine the value at the inflection point in the pre-iNHG window for each proxy, after which values continue on an increasing trend into the iNHG, with the maximum value between ~2.73 and 2.68 Ma (Fig. 2 b).

The TY section, where only the three OOE intervals were analyzed, shows in general the highest THg among all sections and an increasing trend of THg and Hg/TOC from Member II to IV.

Due to the speed of propagation of the sound in solids being greater than that in air, when the cracks are filled, the solid phase of the asphalt concrete increases, the gas phase decreases, and the wave velocities show an increasing trend.

The ZT values of the γ-phase show an increasing trend as compared to the other three phases with the increase in temperature.

Similarly, early initiation of breastfeeding also showed an increasing trend from 43.9% in 2007 ( 14 ) to 56.5% in 2017 ( 15 ).

Furthermore, achievement of the HbA1c target by age group generally showed an increasing trend, with significant increases in the post OAD subgroup.

In subclass 2, the change in metabolites increased from CK to HF24h, and in subclass 3 there were 40 metabolites, which showed an increasing trend from CK to T12H, a decreasing trend from T12H to T36H, and a decreasing trend between T36h and HF24h for some metabolites and an increasing trend for the others.

Moreover, conventional NK cells and ILC1s in grafts showed an increasing trend and were mainly derived from the recipient; however, changes in ILC2s and ILC3s have not been verified further at the late transplantation period [ 2 ].

On the other hand, the conductivity showed more significant differences among the different volcanic materials and an increasing trend with time.

4.2.1 Effects of MAT on SOCD In the northern region of China, MAT showed an increasing trend, resulting in a net decrease in SOCD in the region ( Table 3 ; Figure 6B ).

Several authors concur that the European wild boar population started to increase in the second half of 1960s and has still been showing an increasing trend [ 8 , 9 , 10 ].

The thermodynamic calculations illustrate that the density and melting point of the HEAs showed an increasing trend with the increase of the Cr content.

We observe an increasing trend in which the intensity ratio is minimum in the single-layer configuration and maximum when the layer – whether MoS 2 or WS 2 – is on top of the bilayer structure.

Notably, an increasing trend in the cumulative distribution function (CDF) value was deemed indicative of successful clustering ( Figure 7A, 7B ).

Furthermore, the prevalence of amyloidosis has a geographical distribution difference, and an increasing trend was observed during the last decades [ 5 , 6 ].

Despite the actions taken to remove Cd from and decrease the amount of Cd released into the lithosphere, the contamination of the natural environment with this xenobiotic shows an increasing trend, as this metal is not biodegradable and persists in the environment for hundreds of years [ 55 ].

4C ) shows an increasing trend from BMI 1 to 3, a decreasing trend from BMI 3 to 4, and then another increasing trend from BMI 4 to 5.

28 Furthermore, the relative sex difference in the incidence of gastric cancer has an increasing trend, with male-to-female ratios rising from 1.86 in 1990 to 2.20 in 2017. 75 However, a study by Kim and colleagues (2016) showed that the female sex is a poor prognostic factor for advanced gastric cancer. 76 Additionally, females also have an inferior 5-year relative survival. 77 The selective protective effect of MPO polymorphism on males but not on females may be one of the mechanisms that cause poorer prognosis in females by maintaining the catalytic function of MPO in the context of gastric cancer.

Depression is a public health problem with an increasing trend in prevalence [ 4 ].

Of note, in the asymptomatic carriers with the increase in the number of S antigen exposure, anti-S IgG avidity showed an increasing trend, as well.

42 45 Overall, bacteria in the Firmicutes phylum, such as Ruminococcus , Blautia and Eubacterium, are most affected by prepregnancy weight, showing a significantly lower relative abundance in the stools of infants of mothers with OWOB than in the stools of neonates with normal-weight mothers, while Oscillibacter and Clostridiales showed an increasing trend. 15 42 45 Similarly, other bacteria, such as Bifidobacterium, Faecalibacterium and Parabacteroides, have been shown to exhibit differences in the guts of offspring of mothers with OWOB and offspring of normal-weight mothers, leading to abnormal metabolism and an increased risk of disease. 15 42 45 Nevertheless, additional evidence is still required to demonstrate causality between maternal health and the female microbiome before conception.

Conclusions The burden of opportunistic infections associated with IBD in China shows an increasing trend, particularly impacting elderly patients and regions with lower levels of economic development.

The density values ranged from 112 kg/m 3 up to 168 kg/m 3 and an increasing trend was observed as the concentration of the filler was increased.
