Overall, data were adequately characterized by a linear increase in LTG CL/F during pregnancy and a nonlinear exponential decline in CL/F after delivery.
Age-adjustment was not appropriate, because the relation between age and the physical functions in particular was found to be nonlinear (as the decline with ageing was generally steeper for older subjects than for younger ones).
To adjust for baseline differences, the initial cognitive scores for each patient and their interaction with linear and quadratic terms for months in the study (to enable a nonlinear rate of decline in the models) were included as fixed effects, that is, Time in months (or Time in months) × MMSE (or ADAS-cog) baseline score.
Whereas, for q ≥ 1.2 in the same nonlinear parameter, Q declines as frequency increases.
A 1-SD increase in log10 MnW was associated with a significant difference of –14%9595% CI: –24, –4%) SD in memory, and this relation was nonlinear, with a steeper decline in performance at MnW > 100 μg/L.
Further, nanocomposite resistivity was ascertained to decrease with increasing voltage, while the degree of nonlinear behavior was found to decline with rising filler volume fraction.
The proportions of documented tuberculosis cases among migrant workers showed a significant nonlinear pattern, with an initial decline followed by a significant increasing trend towards the end of the study period.
9 This relationship is nonlinear so that over time, the strength decline exceeds the decline in SMM by a factor of 3 1, 9 and SMM no longer closely reflects muscle strength.
Mechanical ventilation with PEEP application in ARDS patients is related to a decline of linear and nonlinear coefficients of respiratory resistance, during the respiratory cycle.
More aging (years between interviews) was independently associated with greater declines in cognitive status, with the declines associated with aging being nonlinear and diminishing at the margin.
