Excerpts

Inside MPAs, the high abundance of large shy species allowed detection of significantly higher species richness and a clear trend of higher species biomass with the new method, despite the low number of replicates.

We did not observe a clear trend in EC risk with duration of tobacco use ( Table 2 ).

At a given significance level, α , |UF i | > U α indicates a significant trend in the series.

Except for the downward trends of the autumn and winter mean temperatures at Hequ, the seasonal and annual mean temperatures at the stations showed upward trends, including highly significant upward trends.

The results of the analysis of monthly precipitation trends ( Table 5 ) show that at the 11 synoptic stations, there was a decreasing trend in the precipitation of July, August and November, whereas both decreasing and increasing trends in the precipitation occurred of other months.

The results show that the increasing trend at each station started at a different time during the study period, but most of the meteorological stations mainly experienced an increasing trend after 1990, and the increasing trend has become significant since 2005.

Four other variants, extracted from the GENIE study, showed a trend towards significance, (rs191101580, rs187087030, rs8060932, rs8062123), and rs8060932 is in LD with another SNP (rs4238595) associated with FJHN [ 21 ].

The relative level of total MEK was also increased, while the level of total ERK as well as the ratios of p-MEK to MEK and p-ERK to ERK showed a trend of increase ( Fig 4 ).

The extent of the advantage of extra-fine particle ICS over fine-particle ICS may have been overestimated in the unmatched analysis as the matched pairs only showed a trend for a lower risk of pneumonia with extra-fine particle ICS after adjusting for the diagnosis of COPD.

Furthermore, the results of the one-on-one-classification showed a trend that increasing classification rates go along with increasing time intervals between the sessions.

The pairwise comparisons of T1 and T2 (p = .007) as well as T1 and T4 (p = .001) were statistically significant and T3 and T4 (p = .066) revealed a statistical trend, whereas the other combinations showed no statistically significant difference.

A most recent gap analysis from 2005–2013 shows a decreasing trend of VL from 2.5/100000 to 0.8/100000.

In 2003, Velo et al [ 15 ] reported an increasing trend of VL cases, from 144 to 209, occurred between 1997 and 2001.

Total free amino acids (TFAAs) showed a clear trend of decrease with increasing salinity, and the significant higher TFAAs was found for 0 ‰ treatment compared to the other treatments ( P < 0.05).

There was only a statistical trend to higher avoidant attachment among intensive users.

Adding sparrowhawk presence improved the final model, which explained 35% of variance in murmuration size and was highly significant ( Table 2 ).

The hybrids PUCALA x SCA 24 , SCA 6 x P4B , SCA 6 x SJ 02 and IMC 67 x SJ 02 showed highly significant negative SC A values (-29.2, -18.7, -9.28 and -9.00, respectively), that is, they did not show favorable SCA for the increase of SH .

Arsenic & cadmium Apis mellifera : Both the CA and IA fits were highly significant against a model of no joint effect.

The analysis of variance of the data on germination percentage and biomass yield revealed that a very highly significant differences existed between the genotypes and between the treatments ( Table 1 ).

Two-way ANOVAs results revealed that ploidy posed extremely significant effects on CSP , P max , and ACE of Fragaria species, and haplotype posed significant effects on CS P, while the interactive effect between ploidy and haplotype had no significant effect on these traits ( Table 4 ).

The cerebral DA levels showed a decreasing trend although the mRNA levels of th (DA synthesizing enzyme) and dard1a (DA receptor) genes were not altered from adolescence to adulthood.

Thas was also the case when considering responses of the bacterial species that were marginally statistically significant ( Table 1 ).

Rats consuming sufficient calories presented a nearly linear change with respect to increasing iron dosage; however, in rats consuming insufficient energy from milk, except for betaine, glycine, asparagine, lysine, and myo-inositol, the metabolic response showed a trend toward decreased levels at medium, and maintenance or recovery to levels similar to the unsupplemented group at higher iron treatment.

Our results suggested that functional units had a small effect, whereas monsoon had a significant effect on the capture of PM, and the effect of monsoon showed an increasing trend from the northwest to southeast, which partly confirmed our hypothesis.

Demographic and clinical characteristics were similar between the low and higher CD4 nadir groups ( Table 1 ) with a trend towards significance for race by CD4 nadir.
