A good submission policy (such as through providing on a journal's Web site a precise description of what the journal is looking for in a manuscript) can increase the number of suitable manuscripts submitted and decrease the number of unsuitable ones.
Buat et al. (2012) (see also Heinis et al., MNRAS, submitted) reported a decrease of the mean dust attenuation when the observed FUV luminosity increases with a dispersion increasing at low luminosities.
In a national sentinel network of laboratories, the median length of the rotavirus season decreased by 54%, the number of stool specimens submitted for testing decreased by 67%, and the proportion of test results positive for rotavirus declined by 69% after vaccination in the 2007-8 season compared to the 2000-2006 seasons [ 15].
The increasing mass of submitted manuscripts of decreasing quality and relevance is slowly choking the review system and thus slowly corrupting the database of knowledge.
In addition, testing swabs rather than tissues eliminates the need to dissect submitted birds, thus decreasing the processing time and cost of testing and the risk for lacerations to laboratory workers (7 ).
In the sensitive plants, MIR- 482bd- 3p showed a strong decrease when submitted to water deficit, being this low level equally observed in the tolerant genotype during the control condition and decreasing when subjected to stress.
This trend was significant, with a 0.61% decrease in submitted diaries with each passing week (p < .05).05
The Committee continues to receive requests for advice on HBV-infected personnel, but the number of submitted health care workers decreased after 2004 (see Table 1).
For instance, in some human studies, obese individuals have been reported to have an increased Firmicutes:Bacteroidetes ratio (Ley et al., 2006; Turnbaugh et al., 2009a), which decreases when submitted to a low-calorie diet (Ley et al., 2006).
In this study, submitted MV patients presented a decrease of VAP when the package of care was instituted and the main nurse guaranteed the nurse order and the accomplishment of oral hygiene adapted for the MV patient.
