Excerpts

A negative trend in PET was found at 23 stations (41.1%); the trend was statistically significant at eight stations (14.3%) at a 95% confidence level.

In the SC-CQ region, on a seasonal scale, more sites showed an increasing trend than a decreasing trend, except in summer, which confirmed the existence of the evaporation paradox generally in the months of summer.

Moreover, a relatively low S Ws was found in the SC-CQ region, while changes in W s were found to play a significant role in the PET changing as the W s of most stations showed a significant trend ( Fig 5 ).

There was a positive trend in PET for approximately 58%, 68%, 38%, 73% and 73% of all surveyed stations at annual, spring, summer, autumn and winter, respectively.

Additionally, the LR algorithm is, from the investigated models, the only one which accommodates for possible interactions among predictor variables, which may be significant in the present problem.

Although there might appear to exist a slight trend for patients without GABAergic drugs to show more improvement in CU and less improvement on the WAB, the opposite directions of the trends make it likely that these trends are not reliable or meaningful.

Nevertheless, the authors agree with the reviewer’s comment that the differences in the writing characteristics among each HD subtype might be significant or interesting topics to be explored further.

Although densitometric analysis of the Western blot images did not show statistically significant differences in the levels of GPIIb, GPIIIa, and PF4 between plasma and serum ( P = 0.19, 0.18, and 0.057, respectively; Student t -test) owing to large variances between individuals ( Fig 5D ), a clear trend of a selective increase in platelet-associated proteins in serum is in good agreement with the results observed in mouse blood experiments ( Fig 4 ).

Accordingly, our study found an increasing trend of CHE, irrespective of the measurement methods applied, where the absolute level of CHE was substantial in 2016.

With increasing distance from the working face, the air leakage speeds show a decreasing trend.

The change in obesity was borderline significant (p-value 0.05), the other changes were not statistically significant.

The level of sTREM-1 was similar between the groups, although a decreasing trend was seen for the co-infected group ( Fig 1A ).

A rather different result was obtained when performing a similar analysis for buffered RNA’s: first, they only found three pathways to be enriched, which were only marginally significant.

For example, lignin content exhibits an extremely significant negative correlation with edible quality [ 12 ].

From 2006 to 2018, the technological efficiency EC index and the technological progress TEC index of the Yangtze River Economic Zone fluctuated and changed, and there was a significant trend of differentiation.

Of the three estimates provided in this review, the prevalence of hyperopia had a decreasing trend in recent three decades.

A total of 18 species presented yearly trends in the period in study, of which 4 showed a positive and 14 a negative trend.

Pod razor and surf clam presented an increasing trend with respect to the year, while seasonal patterns were present for the smooth and surf clams, with higher LPUE in the fall, and for the stripped Venus clam ( Chamelea gallina ), with higher LPUE in the spring.

Significant trends over time (year) were observed for a total of 18 species, from which four displayed an increasing trend and the remaining a decreasing trend during the period in study.

The silver scabbardfish ( Lepidopus caudatus ) was the only species presenting a positive trend.

However, searches showed a decreasing trend, with the exception of search terms for sleeping pills and side effects in age 60 or above.

This finding suggested that baseline low serum total bilirubin levels may be significant independent predictors for ESKD, although its association might be in part mediated by baseline low eGFR levels.

In terms of standardized coefficient (β), missionary effect in the colonial period, precipitation, GDP per capita in 2015, and genetic diversity index were the largest and all had highly significant p-values of 0.410, 0.485, 0.355, and 0.279, respectively.

Each of the three PA categories showed a trend in which increased time spent at play or engaged in sports was associated with lower BMI-SDS.

In a multivariate model, being an only child showed a highly significant association with BMI-SDS.
