Excerpts

Our result shows SAM index (1979–2015) has a significant trend towards high-index polarity during the austral summer and autumn that explains about 14% to 33% variance of the IOA sea-ice extent ( S5 Fig and S1 Table ).

For IPSS, there was no marked change in the trend of effective size compared with placebo, however, the effective size of difference compared with placebo showed a decreasing trend ( Fig 3B ).

Cognitive components of empathy were elevated in Study 2 (based on scores on the Perspective Taking facet of the IRI), but only approached significance in Study 1 (based on scores on the Cognitive Empathy facet of the EQ).

Discussion of Experiment 3 Although the response-time data did not show any inversion effect under either condition, the error rates reflected a marginally significant inversion effect under the face-without-contour condition but not under the face-silhouette condition.

However, our study in Luoding showed an increasing trend of obesity in pre-school children, suggesting that it would be more effective to take early interventions to reverse the increasing trend in specific people and areas.

While four genes, Rab1 , Atg8b , Vamp7 and Rac1 (the first three are involved in both phagocytosis and autophagy pathways, whereas the last is implicated only in phagocytosis) showed nominally significant D , EW , and DHEW statistics, none remained significant after the multiple testing correction.

As the mediating effect of peer influence spanned both adopters and non-adopters and acted as both a barrier and facilitator to adoption, we found this to be a key factor that may be significant to other ICS programs.

While most of the causes behind PNDs are benign, such as duct ectasia, papilloma, or non-proliferative entities, the malignancy rate has been reported to be quite significant, ranging from 6–20% of cases [ 1 – 4 ].

Average Chl-a concentration showed an increasing trend from wet to dry season throughout the lagoon.

Indeed, highly significant correlations were found for the aforementioned tissue components when comparing MRI quantitative measurements to histology.

In drop-off behavior, there was no significant difference between razor and laser groups, while a highly significant difference was found between control aphids and both razor and laser aphids ( Fig 4C ).

However, previous research suggests that there might be significant disparities between judgment and actual behavior in moral dilemmas [ 69 – 70 ].

Using weighted gene co-expression network analysis to explore the RNA-seq data, tumors from participants with a history of tobacco use showed a significant trend towards increased mammalian target of Rapamycin (mTOR) signaling and decreased mitochondrial respiration.

From the center point of the initially defined cluster, the upper and the lower boundaries were assigned to the last nominally significant variant situated at a maximum of 1 Mb in both directions.

This implies that this study has a smaller weight in the MA, however, this aspect is compensated to a certain degree by the high effect sizes of the associated variants particularly when considering the traits BFT and CRCL, where highly significant associations were detected.

Phosphorylation level of AMPK showed a trend to be increased by AdipoRon.

The plot shows a weak trend in which linguistic distance increases as chronological distance increases; however, the association is highly heteroscedastic, with higher variance in linguistic distance for lower values of chronological distance.

Spectrum-STI ( http://avenirhealth.org/software-spectrum.php ) is a statistical trend estimation model developed by Avenir Health, with support from the World Health Organization (WHO), for use by national health officials to synthesize STI surveillance data and generate national trend estimates.

Deletion of the HD (AntpΔHD) decreased dramatically the interaction with TFIIEβ; only 26% of the AntpΔHD cells showed a highly significant difference in interaction compared to 78% of the cells with wild-type Antp and 75% with AntpHD ( Fig 1A and 1B ; S1 Fig ).

However, both Mantel test with geographic distances ( r M = 0.473, p = 0.002) and Procrustes test with NMDS ordination with geographic locations ( t = 0.554, p < 0.001) were highly significant, indicating the soil characteristics were spatially autocorrelated.

It was reported to be ineffective for PD fatigue [ 32 , 34 ] with a possible trend towards a larger effect in people with depression, than those not depressed [ 35 ].

Exposure to 3-min PTM and 5-min PTM alone resulted in only a minor decrease of cell viability, which was slightly significant against control (*) for WB-F344 cells but not for WB-ras cells.

A clear example is observed in Sagittaria pygmaea , where there are no trade-offs between sexual and asexual reproduction at high concentrations of nutrients, but when the amount of nutrients is low or moderate they become clearly significant [ 62 ].

In conclusion, we found a marginally significant positive association between sedentary physical activity and IBS, particularly among women and individuals of normal weight.

Moreover, a weak trend was observed toward higher prevalence of IBS with fewer hours spent for physical activity (odds ratio: 0.99) [ 16 ].
