Thus, of the 14 QTLs identified in the DeWoody study [ 21 ], it was the multiple, leaf-trait hotspot that included the QTL for sap-feeding arthropods (i.e., aphids) on leaves in August that seemed most likely to be significant in this study of resistance to S . mesophyllincola .

Both ΔK trans and Δv e showed a trend with dose at day 20 within the GTV and > 12 Gy region (rho = -0.04 to -0.16).

The shortest study of only 12 weeks reported by Robinson and coworkers [ 27 ] revealed just a slight trend of weight loss without a significant difference.

However, subsequent isolation of ARB strains on different antibiotics delineated a clear trend towards higher percentage of ARB-positive samples with increasing number of corresponding generic bacteria.

Generally, a decreasing trend in MMR was recorded in China, with a reduction of 38.2%, 59.7%, and 75.6%, respectively, in coastal, inland and remote areas.

Multivariate analysis All parameters that were significantly correlated with NAS sub-scores or showed a trend for association with NAS as assessed by univariate analysis were included in the multivariate model ( Table 6 ).

( B ) Consistent with RNAseq data, second harmonic imaging analysis of end-of-study tumors revealed that anti-MMP9–treated tumors showed a trend for decreased fibrillar collagen content as compared to control IgG–treated tumors.

Three cholestatic patients showed a trend towards higher CD3+CXCR3+ T cells in peripheral blood and six cirrhotic patients had a trend towards higher frequency of CD4+CXCR3+ T cells ( S3 Fig ).

Diagnostic evaluation Due to the highly significant difference between asymptomatic controls and SSc in many of the biomarkers, the diagnostic capacity of the biomarkers was assessed ( Table 3 ).

Nevertheless, the data analysis of the FT-IR data of quiescent cells cultivated for 14 to 100 days, showed a clear trend for separation ( Fig 4C , consistent with Fig 2C ).

Furthermore, a marginally significant negative association between protein expression of EGFR using IHC and pathologic complete response (pCR) has been observed in 44 HER2-positive patients treated with trastuzumab-containing neo-adjuvant chemotherapy [ 40 ].

We observed however, a significant increase in intracellular lactate and a decreasing trend in glucose uptake only under Db-cAMP-treated conditions and not for Br-cAMP ( Fig 2G ).

The ARV-1 titres of the MS population increased between July 2009 and October 2009, while those of the MR population remained relatively constant, with a subsequent large and highly significant increase by May 2010.

Extracellular enzyme activity Many isolates showed an increasing trend in leucine amino-peptidase activity from Control to Corexit (Control<WAF<CEWAF<Corexit), with Corexit having the highest activity ( Fig 4 ).

Introduction Recent studies have identified an increasing trend in death rates among white Americans [ 1 – 4 ].

No statistically significant differences between prodromal versus mild and moderate versus severe dementia were evident but a numerical trend remained for deterioration in EQ-5D-3L score with increasing disease severity.

To assist with the quantification of trends in the data, quasi-significant differences were defined with an alpha level between 0.05 and 0.10 [ 31 ].

Although differences in enjoyment were not very obvious, small, slightly significant increases in enjoyment were reported for the strategies that impacted cadence.

In contrast, the two risk factors showed a decreasing trend similar to that of incidence ( Table 4 ).

The effect of anatomical location was nearly significant, and it is interesting to note that dogs with tumors in the thoracic limbs (least square mean (log actimetry) ± SEM: 4.1 ± 0.03) were less active than those with tumors in the pelvic limbs (4.3 ± 0.05).

Their corresponding P scores showed considerably significant differences between patients with and without nodal metastasis.

The hot events in the doctor-patient issues reported on the Internet show an increasing trend according to statistics in the People’s Daily Online Public Opinion Monitoring Room (as of December 14, 2016).

A similar but marginally significant transgenerational effect was found for the number of leaves attacked by grasshoppers ( Fig 2D , Table 3 ).

Since the interaction effect showed a trend of significance, planned comparisons were performed using paired t test with Bonferroni correction.

In correlation, our study finds the highly significant widespread seasonal trend in the public interest on obesity for the period 2004–2016.
