Only weakly significant differences in the per cent contribution of measured BED (mean = 2.50, SD = 7.58) and assessed BED (mean = 1.98, SD = 7.15) variables could be detected (two-sided Wilcoxon rank sum test, W = 59733, p = 0.03).

In terms of nutrient components glucose levels showed a strong trend for a decrease, whereas protein, triglycerides and cholesterol did not differ.

A borderline significance of the effects of GOS on stool consistency was observed, with the experimental group having slightly softer stools.

In line with this hypothesis, vividness of reward-based imagined scenes was higher in the reward condition at a strong trend level ( Fig 2 ), indicating that reward association led to greater clarity and vibrancy of the imagined scene.

The latter was only true for the entire group and could not be observed as a clear trend when the age groups where analyzed separately.

P <0.05 was considered as significantly different (*), and P <0.01 was considered as extremely significant different (**).

There is a slight trend towards practices with a larger White population having a smaller error metric, indicating a more representative age/gender profile, although this trend is not significant (p = 0.175).

Need for improvement in the global environment was reported by respondents of the units significantly differently ( p < 0.001) and with an increasing trend from formal to informal units.

Notably, the combined treatment of magnolol groups (TGCM, and TGM) had an increasing trend of the food intake compared with that in the TGC group ( Fig 1D ).

Heifers and cows investigated here showed a strong trend in this direction.

Classification of tree species The classification results for monotemporal surveys, and for a single camera flight, reveal a strong trend ( Table 2 ).

A weak trend towards higher CD4/CD8 ratios was also observed in those HIV-negative individuals with H . pylori infection, compared to those without H . pylori infection (2.12 vs. 1.80, p = 0.13).

Homo-/hemizygous infants also displayed borderline significant evidence of greater absolute declines in hemoglobin compared with normal infants at day 7.

There might be significant difference between talking about suicide and actual suicidal ideation.

The contribution of fluorescent pigments to the apparent reflectance in corals is a factor which may be significant but has so far only been partially addressed [ 55 – 56 ].

For dry origin species, the exclosure effect was only marginally significant in the dry site ( Table 2c ).

Specifically, IL33 was significantly associated with asthma in Latino children using the ensemble learning gene-based test, but this gene was of borderline significance using the other 2 approaches.

For both men and women, there was a highly significant linear trend ( P trend ≤ 0.0005) of lower VAT and SAAT with increasing scores of APAT-1 ( S2 Table and Fig 1 ), which loaded high on VPA ( Fig 2 ).

Although not quite significant in the overall model, two of the three young animals diagnosed with tumors were female, thus including sex as a variable in the overall model improved fit.

Moreover, there is a favorable trend in AHT group, which may be due to improved reperfusion after thrombolysis.

Interestingly, in our study there was a clear trend toward an increase in c-TTR over the five-year study period, suggesting that participating in an external assessment of therapy quality may improve the Center performance.

Furthermore, we also found an increasing trend in the percentage of tumor cells with MET gene copy number ≥3 together with higher MET IHC score, suggestive of a relationship between MET gene copy number increase and MET protein overexpression.

Relationships between MET gene copy number increase and MET protein overexpression A positive trend was observed between % MET and increasing IHC score ( Fig 3 ), indicating a possible correlation between MET gene copy number increase and protein overexpression in PRCC tumor cells.

Both findings were most evident in the first block after rTMS, and the measures either fully returned to baseline (230–340 ms) or showed a trend toward baseline (550–750 ms), which argues against non-specific effects such as practice or vigilance.

The multivariate analysis indicated a significant or nearly significant association between both the GA at sampling and GH or PE and UFF/UFE values.
