Excerpts

Table 4 indicates a borderline significant higher proportion nucleus farms inside (5.3%) compared to outside (3.6%) the persistent clusters.

Conclusion Entomophagy is general in Laos, and well accepted despite a decreasing trend in consumption over the last decade.

Correlation between population structure of common walnut and human linguistic diversity We observed a positive trend between genetic distances (D GEN ) among J . regia populations and linguistic distance (D LAN ) among human communities living in the 39 Asian sampling sites.

The finds at Wañelek are highly significant as they allow us to assess one possible route for the transmission of agricultural crops and associated technologies into the Highlands.

In the RSS study, DMC has many highly significant connections, with values well above the significance level for the majority of connections in all regions ( Fig 3A ).

Most of them became extinct in the same season in which they originated, only exception being a single highly significant subclade (pp = 0.8) identified in five isolates sampled in different seasons between 2007 and 2009.

The effect of time, b = -83 (95% confidence interval, -104 to -64), t (126) = -8, p <0.001, was highly significant, indicating that the DHA status significantly changed over the 15 month study period.

In contrast, there is a clear trend of lower SDI and FAI with cobble blanks (N = 32) compared with flake blanks (N = 45).

P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant, and p values < 0.01 were considered highly significant.

Although all metabolic fluxes show a decreasing trend whatever the culture conditions from 48–96 h, significant differences of behaviour raised in the latter culture stages comparing flux levels among cultures.

The correlation between FEV 1 and TL was very close to being significant, although lower FEV 1 values were also related to shorter telomeres.

When compared to the unadjusted results, there was no longer evidence for an increasing trend in malaria visits at health centres during the pre-intervention period, and the magnitude of decline in malaria visits when the intervention began was slightly smaller (219 visits per months) compared with the unadjusted results (245 visits per month).

We compared the two groups using the log-rank test to evaluate the prognostic value of the model, and this analysis revealed a highly significant difference between expression levels and TTT and a nearly significant difference in OS.

In another study which matched body weight and age in 46 obese subjects grouped by AHI, adiponectin showed a trend to decrease according to the severity of OSA[ 6 ].

albicans to survive exposure to the potent ROS employed by phagocytes is highly significant in the context of host-pathogen interactions, because the inactivation of oxidative stress responses attenuates the virulence of this fungus and its ability to counteract phagocytic killing [ 2 , 6 , 7 ].

However this difference was attenuated in the contralateral kidneys at latter time points while in the UUO groups the decrease of CCL2 mRNA in the Nov-/- was of borderline significance (Figure B in S1 File ).

Similarly the energy fraction associated to LE / R net verifies a positive trend during the decaying phase of the season demonstrating an increasing response to monthly precipitation during August 2012 ( Table 2 ).

Although this study was not powered to detect differences in cardiovascular collapse rates and survival, animals receiving CO showed a trend towards improved outcome.

Also consistent with the interaction data, loss of PC showed a trend towards activation of all three GTPases ( Fig 4 ), with a significant increase in Rac1 activation, while loss of PD led to increased activation of Rac1 ( Fig 4 ).

In the bulk soil ( Fig 2 ), the contents of clay and silt presented a decreasing trend with the increasing time while the sand content increased significantly.

The highest dosage of arsenic exposure showed a decreasing trend of total exploring time towards two objects during the LTM tests, indicating that arsenic exposure could also affect locomotor activity [ 29 ].

There were no significant associations of ghrelin haplotypes with BMI or obesity, although haplotype 4 showed a trend for increased obesity risk after adjustment for age and sex ( Table 3 ).

The correlations (Spearman’s rank test) between the SCC values at the peak of milk leukocytosis and antibody titers at 45 days post-immunization averaged 0.8 and were highly significant ( Table 2 ).

Similarly, the values of the exponent b also shows a decreasing trend over time, as can be seen in Table G in S1 File (except in TP 5 that will be explained in Discussions ).

Whilst surprising that a simple change from vague to specific probability statement had such an effect, especially as the Downs and Black quality score had no effect on IH rates, it was a highly significant variable in both regression models.
