More interesting, the TC size effect on the PDS shows an increasing trend when we compare the results from the E all+1 with that from the E all+2 in the WNP and the NA, while the effects of other factors (such as the TC frequency and duration) show an opposite or unchanged trend (Table 1 ).

In Japanese cedar and hinoki cypress, the 137 Cs concentration in wood showed an increasing trend in half of the plots.

Results suggest that climate and landscape elasticity showed an increasing trend with the increase of aridity index.

At the same time, there has also been an increasing trend toward interventions with which restricted use is recommended, such as episiotomy (20%) and induction (10%) ( 10 , 11 ) .

Gut Microbiota: Unraveling the Genetic and Environmental Interactions in IBD In spite of the genetic landscape remaining considerably stable over the years, the incidence of IBD has shown an increasing trend worldwide, particularly in developing countries with industrialization and urbanization, which are mainly explained by environmental factors via accumulating epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory evidence.

Data on social deprivation were not available from 1997 to 1998, but data from 2011 to 2012 showed an increasing trend in the incidence rate of severe hypoglycemia in association with social deprivation in type 1 diabetes (Table 4 ), but a similar trend was not observed for different social deprivation categories in insulin-treated type 2 diabetes.

Interestingly, although PWC170 had an increasing trend from 1.99 ± 0.50 W/kg to 2.65 ± 1.03 W/kg after intervention, but this trend did not reach significance ( P = 0.06) ( Table 1 ).

An increasing trend in proportional mortality attributed to cardiovascular diseases has been reported in India as well, with an increase from 20.6% deaths in 1990 to 29.0% in 2013. 1 This increase is mainly due to increase in prevalence of various modifiable risk factors of CVDs like dyslipidemias, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, abdominal obesity, psychosocial stress, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity.

From Table 1 , it is obvious that C 4 shows an increasing trend (+0.003% yr −1 ), whereas those of C 5 –C 12 diacids (particularly, C 5 , C 7 , C 8 , C 9 , and C 12 ) show significant (p < 0.05) decreasing trends during the study period.

Consistently, no additional significant increase in LC3-II was observed in the CQ plus ZAS-treated group compared to the ZAS only-treated group, as determined by the western blot assay, although an increasing trend was observed at 4 h (Fig. 4C,D ).

Although an increasing trend in [NO 3 − –N] is observed over the past three decades, [NO 3 − –N] during the period 2012 to 2014 was lower than the average [NO 3 − –N] during 1989 to 2000.
