The damping derivative was found to be a function of free-stream speed; at low velocities it is negative but progressively increases to a positive value.
In addition, the influence of the tube-diameter on both heat transfer and pressure drop is negligible at small velocities but progressively increases at bigger velocity-values; a similar –but less pronounced– effect is produced by fin spacing, where the influence of tube-diameter is relevant only for larger fin spacings.
During development, MeCP2 protein is expressed at low levels throughout the brain prenatally but progressively increases with neurogenesis and reaches its peak in mature, post-migratory neurons [ 12, 13].
On the contrary, for wavelengths larger than 800 nm, the normalized transmission is slowly but progressively increasing, thus showing the deviation from the quarter-wave retardation at these wavelengths.
The amount of 5-HT immunoreactivity was lowest at 3 mm cranial to the injury epicenter (9±1) but progressively increased up to 1 mm cranial to the injury epicenter (14±3, Fig. 5b).
The levels of the serum enzymes AST, LDH, CK and CK-MB began to decline at approximately day 9 or day 11 in non-fatal cases but progressively increased in fatal cases.
The false positive results of urinary NGAL were low at early CKD stages, but progressively increased up to 40% at CKD stage 5. Plasma BNP presented false positive results in a low percentage of CKD patients.
However, DHN1 expression was not only apparent within the G12 explants, but progressively increased up to day 15, suggesting that activation of this G6 candidate gene is much less genotype-specific.
The remaining four biomarkers, paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2 (Pimmunoglobulinlobulin superfamily, member 4A (Igsf4a), receptor (calcitonin) activity modifying protein 2 (Rand2) and TEA domain family member 2 (Tead2), have reduced expression levels in ES cells but progressively increase their expression levels with differentiation.
The insoluble tannin, remarkably less than the soluble tannin, was decreased to the lowest level (0.08 mg/g FW) from 5 to 10 WAF, but progressively increased thereafter, reaching the peak value (0.22 mg/g FW) at 20 WAF, followed by a minor decrease at 25 WAF.
Analysis of data presented at the 72nd Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association (39) shows that after the initial year when best glycemic control was attained, A1C slightly but progressively increased over the years at a similar rate in the two intervention arms (insulin glargine 0.061 vs. 0.050% per year [ Fig. 4]).
