Excerpts

Given this model, we calculated that the probability of observing 13 mini flashes crashes within one three-minute window was exceedingly small ( p < 10 −8 ) and thus highly significant.

The differences noted were not large, but consistent and highly significant.

Overall, the K + content in the soil exhibited a decreasing trend, with the highest content in the topsoil.

Amongst the long non-coding RNAs, BISPR, LINC00202-1 and LOC102723344 showed highly significant differential alterations.

The reported auto-immune response to LL-37 in psoriasis may be significant in CAD given the increased risk of myocardial infarction in psoriasis patients [ 16 ].

However, our treatments had only marginally significant effects on behavioural types: (i) within the long basking time treatment, larger animals were more active than small ones and (ii) lizards in the short basking time treatment took more risk than in the long basking time treatment.

In the pT3 tumors, the 5-year overall survival rate was 26.5% for the pN3a tumors (n = 106) and 17.1% for the pN3b tumors (n = 79); this difference was not significant ( P = 0.110), although the survival curves showed a trend for better survival with pN3a tumors than with pN3b tumors ( S1 Fig ).

Altitudinal changes in species richness and abundance of soil microfauna Total richness and abundance of rotifers and nematodes showed a significant unimodal response in Tso Moriri with a mid-elevation peak, while in Zanskar only nematodes exhibited a marginally significant unimodal abundance response ( Fig 3 ).

Here, archaeobotanical finds suggest an increasing trend of cultivation from the 9 th to the 7 th century BC [ 3 ].

Although a significant trend was not present, we speculated that a short duration of high fat intake could explain this observation.

The number of CPE cases/year was low (2–14 cases/year), but an increasing trend was observed.

The results of variance analysis showed that the amount of nitrogen and nitrogen ratio had significant or extremely significant effect on the water-solute carbohydrates and WSC/N ratio of the stem at milk stage (DC 73).

With the increase of nitrogen level and the proportion of basal fertilizer, the lodging degree, area and lodging score (LS) showed an increasing trend.

The cost of these health risks at the national level is also quite significant as it can increase government expenditure on health to the detriment of other sectors [ 53 ].

The daytime (sleep period) difference in urine osmolality was highly significant ( Fig 1 shows medians, quartiles, and range, and means ± SEM are given in the legend).

showed a trend in which it was more abundant in Foot samples than Leg and Non-F/L samples.

We could not identify a clear trend in response to the antimicrobial wound dressing treatment for particular OTUs even though in vitro susceptibility testing would predict broad spectrum activity.

By contrast, GA 3 plus SO 2 treatment dramatically attenuated the increase in LOX activity though an increasing trend of LOX activity was observed ( Fig 3F ).

In addition, a marginally significant association was found between lactation duration and lower blood pressure at 11.5 years postpartum in observational analyses in the same sample regardless of treatment allocation [ 37 ].

In contrast, the confidence interval indicates that the difference between definition group and the control group just failed to reach significance ( b = 0.19, SE = 0.10, 95%CI [-0.01, 0.39]).

The growing female contingent of SCA members ( Fig 3 ) is an encouraging trend, for if enough women students maintain their membership and continue in the field, we may see the gender gap narrow in this new generation.

It should also be noted that in addition to left pSTS, we also found more activation in left IFG triangularis, albeit with marginal significance, for reading disconnected words than characters.

We refined the poorly localized QTL4, drawing on marginally significant mapping results from the original F 2 intercross [ 15 ], to marker rs3721068 with a 10-Mb flanking region (QTL4, 9:108915010–118915010).

Conversely, several regions with LEA associations revealed GWAS SNPs that were nominally significant.

Among people in the ICONA cohort for whom the date of seroconversion could be accurately estimated, we hereby describe a significant trend for an increased proportion of RHI over time (57% in 2010–2014).
