The phrase "an opposing pattern" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a pattern that contrasts or conflicts with another pattern in various contexts, such as in discussions of behavior, trends, or data analysis.
Example: "In the study, we observed an opposing pattern in the data that contradicted our initial hypothesis."
Alternatives: "a conflicting pattern" or "a contrasting pattern."
However, the frequency of budding cells display an opposing pattern with declining frequency with higher amounts of hydrolysate liquor in the feed (Fig. 2b), likely due to the suppression of cell growth and cell proliferation by inhibitors [ 1, 14, 19, 23].
Species richness showed an opposing pattern, while species abundance increased asymptotically.
As expected, DOM and living biomass pools showed an opposing pattern: when fires kill trees and decrease the biomass C stock, we observe an increase in DOM C pools (i.e., the transfer of C to dead wood and litter add more C than is lost from these pools during the fire).
The proportion of cardiopulmonary deaths relative to the total number of deaths displayed an opposing pattern in European and U.S. cities.
However, while neglect patients responded 338 ms faster for within-decade comparisons, control patients showed an opposing pattern: between-decade items were responded to 15 ms faster than within-decade items.
ITBVI and EVLWI showed an opposing pattern in the youngest children versus the oldest patient group: a significant increase in ITBVI was observed in the oldest patient group compared to the youngest group, while EVLWI displayed significantly higher values in the youngest patient group compared with the older patient group throughout most of the measurement period.
The pattern of decreasing H3K36me3 levels as H3K27me3 increased fits the opposing pattern expected from the model.
Given that the pollen grains in the GMS mutant are not dispersed, this opposing pattern of ethylene metabolism expression in the GMS mutant anther suggests that ethylene also may act as an important signal mediating the response to tapetal degeneration and pollen maturation.
In order to discover if the degree of sequence identity amongst the 7 differentially expressed cuticle-proteins in this study could be used to explain their opposing pattern of regulation (i.e. up versus down), we aligned them with mosquito cuticle protein AAEL011045 in BioEdit v.7.2.4 [ 20] and built a neighbour-joining tree using CLUSTAL v1.2.0 [ 21].
In general, larger patches with diverse plant communities support a greater abundance and diversity of natural enemies and biocontrol services, yet opposing patterns or no effects have also been documented.
These findings provide additional compelling evidence that the opposing patterns of DLPFC activation linked to trait anxiety as a function of SART performance reflect engagement of this region in different cognitive processes, specifically the proactive control of sustained attention versus off-task thought.
