Excerpts

Statistical analysis revealed that R 2 of the regression model was 0.9308 ( p = 0.0027), which indicates that this equation could explain 93.0% of the experimental conditions results, implying that the model was highly significant and could be used to accurately predict the response function.

From the Plackett–Burman’s design ANOVA analysis, the constructed model was highly significant as revealed from the values of Fisher’s F -test 7.4 and lower probability.

It could be found that the model p = 0.0003 < 0.01 ( Table 5 ), indicating that the model was extremely significant, the lack of fit term p = 0.0612 > 0.05 is not significant, the R 2 of regression equation was 0.9657, the corrected coefficient R 2 was 0.9216, indicating that the linear relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable was significant, which can be used to optimize the extraction process of the effective components of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch.

The PPO activity in the control fresh-cut lotus root showed an increasing trend from day 10 to day 17 and was significantly higher than the experimental group, further indicating that CTs could inhibit PPO activity and delay the appearance of browning.

[ 64 ], in contrast to the results reported by other authors, have reported an increasing trend in the chloride ion penetration possibly because the measurement reflects not only chloride ions, but the total of ions contained to the mixture. 2.2.

DC electrical resistivity was measured and showed an increasing trend (5.42 × 10 8 to 6.48 × 10 8 Ω·cm) with the addition of cobalt contents as cobalt is more conductive than zinc.

As seen in Figure 2 and Table 1 , treatment with L1 after 24 h significantly ( p < 0.05) induced cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase, and this effect was followed by a decreasing trend at 48 h and 72 h compared to control.

A review of literature in similar areas of study found comparable results, but also revealed an interesting trend of observation.

Other genes of class I were relatively mildly expressed, with an increasing trend at different stages.

Once the basic model has been established, the main task of the programmer is the selection of inputs or in other words, the input variables that are most likely to be significant for the surface tension, as well as the number of neurons in the hidden layers.

The protein expression level of CPT1a and LIPE showed an increasing trend, however with no significance ( Supplementary Figure S2 ).

Co-treatment of this cytokine with the KP extract led to a decreasing trend in apoptotic cells, even though there was no significant difference when compared with the effect in the TNF-α-treated group. 3.

The average weight of rats in all groups showed an increasing trend during the experimental period but the difference was not significant ( Figure S2 ).

Additionally, the introduction of the water/alcohol/PVP system showed an interesting trend in the final solvent system composition-depended particle size, with the smallest particles being approximately 250 nm in diameter.

The tumor uptake of 18 F-FMISO showed an increasing trend according with on oxygen content in breathing gas (10% oxygen > air > carbogen) in a mouse experiment, though no statistical difference was demonstrated.

The decreasing amount of Pd(II) sites in the framework led to a marked decline in the conversion of styrene, nevertheless, with an increasing trend for selectivity to benzaldehyde.

An increasing trend of drug release from BMLs was observed with the increase of heating time, and a release equilibrium was achieved after heating for 4 min.

Additionally, the compounds that present a decreasing trend can be treated as secondary chemo indicators of this category of diseases.

We observed an increasing trend in the signal areas and peaks number that occurred from minute 15 to 45 ( Figure 1 C).

Highly significant, negative linear correlation coefficients were obtained for the relation between the crystallization and melting peak temperatures and the ratio of UFA/SFA.

Interestingly, a highly significant 9-fold up-regulation of the metastasis-associated gene S100A4 or fibroblast-specific protein 1 was observed after treatment with the cocktail ( Figure 3 ). 2.4.

A prominent increase in the elastic modulus values was observed by adding graphene nanoparticles in B 4 C, and the elastic modulus values followed an increasing trend with the increase in the loading of graphene nanoparticles.

All peptides were also screened for hemolytic activity which revealed a clear trend: while the shorter peptides 1 and 2 showed no appreciable hemolytic activity, the longer peptide 3 and 4 were highly hemolytic ( Table 1 ).

In addition, an apparent trend emerges from the alanine scan data where decreased antimicrobial activity is inversely proportional to the synergistic activity of the peptides.

As shown in Figure 7 C, in G-1 with untreated and infected wounded skin, there was a clear trend of increasing inflammation represented by removing the epidermis layer and the appearance of an abundant wide granulomatous leucocytic region interspersed with small and large hemorrhage spots stained cherry red.
