In addition, this may contribute to considerations regarding "global" versus "local" trends: a trend that occurs within only one or a few related species is by definition more local than one that appears only in comparisons across many species, although repeated anagenetic trends within multiple lineages may bespeak an especially strong global tendency.
Additional studies would be required to first corroborate these findings and, second, to determine if they reflect temporal differences in training or a trend that occurs with clinical experience.
Representations of horse evolution in this linear manner can still be observed in many museums and textbooks, despite the fact that the history of this group and the trends that occurred in it are well-known to be far more complex (cf. MacFadden 1992).
First, the demographic trends that occurred in Europe were similar, although sometimes less dramatic and sometimes occurring later.
The yearly time trends that occurred throughout the study period were described by a cubic spline with a fixed 4 degrees of freedom for each year (doy).
Changes that appear to be related to age might, in fact, be due to secular environmental trends that occurred over the 12-week course of the experiment (an often unstated concern of cohort aging studies).
The HUAS-lite interviews were intentionally spread out over a DSS round to avoid capturing temporal anomalies and repeatedly conducted over a 2-year period to permit collection of more precise data on care-seeking behavior by averaging any seasonal and secular trends that occurred.
Because of the major changes in reporting trends that occurred in the mass merchant channel during this study period, as stated above, all data presented in this report reflect the omission of the mass merchant channel from the analysis of the national sales channel.
First, for each gene we identify expression trends that occur frequently across multiple datasets.
