“an overall trend”

The number of ICTs-related disaster-relief articles published annually shows an overall trend of growth since 1990.

Wong and Wong (2014) , for example, tested violinists and pianists, comparing pitch identification performance with sine tones and with tones played on their respective instruments and did indeed find an overall trend for increased accuracy in identifying pitches played on participants’ own instrument type over sine tones.

There was an overall trend towards increased use of geospatial methods, especially clustering, since 2008, demonstrated by the increasing number of studies that applied both mapping and clustering/cluster detection methods.

2 , 3 , 4 The evidence of such associations, coupled with the availability of once‐daily broad‐spectrum antibiotics, such as ertapenem, and an overall trend toward outpatient HCT care supports the idea that HCT recipients are increasingly being treated for GNRBs in ambulatory care settings. 2 , 3 , 4 To examine if HCT recipients with GNRBs are, in fact, receiving more care in outpatient settings, we evaluated if the proportion of targeted antibiotic treatment time allogeneic HCT recipients with GNRBs in ambulatory settings changed over a 10‐year period among all patients and among patients with similar pretransplant complexities, GNRB complexity, and posttransplant complications.

As shown in the figure, the numerically simulated DIF values exhibit an overall trend consistent with the experimental results, both demonstrating a gradual decrease in DIF with increasing temperature.

An overall trend showed that patients improved in all sum scores over time, from baseline to week 24.

Apart from the aforementioned studies on the socio-ecology of parrots, one can observe an overall trend in cognitive research to conduct studies in the wild (as discussed e.g., in Rosati et al. 2022 ).

While these data suggest an overall trend of TGF-β-mediated upregulation of ST6Gal1, it is important to recognize that not all cells have been reported to increase ST6Gal1 levels in response to TGF-β treatment: in HCV29 bladder epithelial cells, TGF-β decreased expression of ST6Gal1 ( Guo et al., 2014 ).

Clinical Efficacy in CD An overall trend favoring vedolizumab treatment was observed in the induction and maintenance phases of the GEMINI 2 study.

As can be seen in Figure 10 , the positioning accuracy of the eight localization algorithms showed an overall trend of improvement with the increase of the communication radius.

So, a positive slope indicates there was an overall trend in temperatures rising over the window of interest, a negative slope implies a decreasing trend, and a zero slope indicates stability or neither a decreasing or increasing trend.

7 Trials with other pulmonary vasodilator therapies including endothelin receptor antagonists and inhaled prostacyclin analogs, demonstrate similar findings with an overall trend toward improved exercise performance that is not uniform across Fontan patient phenotypes. 4 , 5 , 6 Low cerebral blood flow and oxygen delivery contribute to structural and functional abnormalities in the Fontan brain.

In our study, we conceptualized time as four separate periods (slopes), representing an overall trend between 2017 and 2022—for this reason we refer to our analysis as “piecewise” growth curve modelling.

Hence, for a component, say component i , if τ i 1 or τ i 2 is large, then it is reasonable to treat it as an overall trend rather than a peak.

There were two notable types of effects: an overall trend of the CI group looking more at the mouth compared with the TH group (replicating previous studies), and differences in gaze behavior at specific points during the trial in response to stimulus demands.

Although there were no statistically significant changes in antigen-specific T cell responses with training, there was an overall trend for an increase in the response to VZV, Mammaglobin, Mucin-1 and Survivin, especially in the partly-supervised exercise group.

As shown in Figure 12B , the change in body weight of each mouse was also recorded throughout the treatment, with an overall trend of growth, but no significant difference between the groups, indicating that the treatment material we designed has good biocompatibility and did not affect the basic physiological growth of the mice, with no significant side effects.

Although the obtained g m,dif sometimes had unrealistic values largely due to unrealistic values of C c (as often occurs when using the variable J method, see Yin and Struik 2009 ), an overall trend of g m,dif in response to I inc and to C i was obtained.

Figure 2 indicates an overall trend (with variation between years) of increasing numbers of applied joint modelling papers published (although the maximum number published in a year was only 20).

3 Both hospitals documented an increase in costs, an overall trend of decreasing numbers of horses undergoing surgical treatment, and an increase in euthanised cases across the 14 years. 3 The varying trends in the current study may be affected by several factors, such as location, hospital, changes in local hospitals and referring practices, and the numbers of horses being registered or treated at each practice.

An overall trend of higher effectiveness in radon reduction was observed for continuous than periodic fan operation, and for higher than lower fan speed, although in some houses there was little difference in indoor radon concentration between lower or higher fan speed for continuous HRV operation.

Although the mean response demonstrated an overall trend of decreasing as the questions became more difficult with subsequent items, the individual item order did not follow the originally established order of the questions [ 10 ]: for example, the mean for item-11 (mean 2.6, SD 0.70) was smaller than the means for item-12 and item-13 (mean 2.8, SD 0.70).

For both sexes, an overall trend was observed where the smallest changes of speed were presented in Q1 (i.e., the fastest females and males) and the largest in Q3 and Q4 (i.e., the 2 slowest performance groups).

For instance, males engaged in more MVPA than females, and there is an overall trend of doing more MVPA on weekdays than weekends.

There was an overall trend of decreased binding of S. aureus 8325-4 ∆ ica to all lectins compared to the WT, but only the decreased binding to GSL-II was significant ( Figure 3 b).
