Recently published statistics show a divergence from previous trends.
1 a situation in which two things become different, or the difference between them increases:
a divergence of opinion
The figures reveal a marked divergence between public sector pay settlements and those in the private sector.
Funds investing in credit-rated bonds are all holding much the same investments, so the divergence in performance is not significant.
a considerable/significant/sharp divergence
Particular importance is attached to the gap between the theory and practice of law, and how the divergence could be reduced.
Any such regulation tends to attract attention to the possibility of a divergence between belief and acceptance as 17.
In contrast, when observers were asked to reach for the targets (without seeing their hand) the convergence yielded nearer reaches, and the divergence farther reaches.
However, escalating divergence of the populations is unlikely in the presence of gene flow unless they experience persistently different selection pressures.
This divergence is always possible, and there is typically nothing in promulgation to mark the cases where it obtains from ones where it does not.
The partial beam divergence values, one can calculate from the present geometry (distance of the source to the detector), and trace the spread.
We describe the behaviour of a non-converging sequence of solutions in term of lines of divergence in the domain.
It is well-known11,33 that redundancy resolution schemes resolved at the acceleration level, can cause divergence and instability because of built-up of joint space velocities.
