The phrase "area trends" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing patterns or changes observed within a specific geographic region or field of study.
Example: "The report highlights several area trends that have emerged over the past decade, particularly in urban development and population growth."
Alternatives: "regional trends" or "local trends".
No, not in significant numbers in the context of larger city (metropolitan area) trends.
Small area trends are important to understanding developments in the urban cores, because conventional municipal jurisdiction-based analysis is clouded by the effect of large suburban areas that constitute most of the core municipality population.
Based on the three day collaborative workshop thinking, this paper discusses for each area 'Trends' affecting the area, research 'Gaps' and likely 'Future' developments and priority issues and the drivers of change.
It translates widely the CVL direction as the major tectonic feature of the study area trending NE SW.
A syn-depositional fault of about 3.5 km in length is identified in the study area, trending NE SW, dipping to SE with an angle of 64° 80°.
In the source area of the Jigokudani valley, at least three pyroclastic cones formed within about 3 h after the onset of the eruption in the vent area, trending NW SE.
The area trend and myosin minima trends are shown in orange.
Amnioserosa cell area measurements can be decomposed into two parts, a long-timescale area trend around which oscillations occur and which decreases over time due to net area contraction, and the oscillatory part (Fig. 1 e).
Apical area strain was defined as cell area relative to a cell area trend computed using a moving window of 6 min. High-frequency noise, residual low-frequency and neighbour effects in both area and rescaled myosin signals were removed via a bandpass filter in the range 1 mHz≤ ν≤12.5 mHz.
Since we are interested in area and myosin dynamics at the timescales of the oscillations, we extracted the oscillatory contribution from individual cell areas by computing the area trend via a moving boxcar average and subtracting this from the raw area measurements.
Normalising the oscillatory contribution by the area trend and applying a bandpass filter to remove high-frequency noise and low-frequency residuals, we obtained an apical cell area strain, which provides a measure of relative cell area deformation (Fig. 1 f).
