P -values less than 0.05, 0.01 and 0.001 were considered statistically significant, very significant and highly significant respectively.

There was only a marginally significant association between IDH-mutant GBM and rs55705857.

The predictor using both of them achieved 0.563 MCC, 84.63% ST and 0.917 AUC, outperforming the one using sequence context alone by 0.036 MCC, 2.41% ST and 0.024 AUC (n = 5, p = 4.15E-4, 1.83E-4 and 3.15E-4, 1-tailed, paired t-test, for MCC, ST and AUC, respectively) indicating the improvement is quite significant.

The differences found when comparing HepG2 and A431 EV counts ( P = 0.84, Mann-Whitney), D17 and S2R+ counts ( P = 0.057, Mann-Whitney) and all four cell lines ( P = 0.044, Kruskal-Wallis) were not clearly significant ( Figure S1 ).

These effects were clearly visible in the case of the PA-particles and observed as a slight trend in the case of the 80/20 spheres ( Figs 5 and 6 ).

These variables showed an increasing trend with the reforestation age.

Flower size of Rosa species showed a marginally significant decrease over the past century.

However, flower size of Rosa species showed a decreasing trend in the past century, indicating a reduced investment on flower size in Rosa .

In general, the relative mRNA expression profiles of PDLSCs and JBMSCs were very different after forming cell sheets, and the expression of nearly every gene we evaluated displayed an increasing trend after cell sheet formation.

Ideally, to make controlling complex networked systems practically significant, one must consider nonlinear dynamical processes, due to the ubiquity of nonlinearity in the real world.

For example, increasing DTR had a marginally significant effect on oocyst prevalence ( Fig. 1A ), and no effect on oocyst intensity ( Fig. 1C ) or sporozoite prevalence ( Fig. 1E ) in An. gambiae ( Table 1 ).

Unexpectedly, the impact of DTR on sporozoite prevalence was marginally non-significant, despite effects of variation in DTR on oocyst establishment in An. stephensi ( Table 1 , Fig. 1F ).

The number of MetS components also showed an increasing trend as the serum ANGPTL8/betatrophin levels reduced, suggesting that circulating ANGPTL8/betatrophin may be of importance in the course of MetS and its components.

The highly significant inverse association between TXNRD1 transcript levels in human adipose tissue and insulin responsiveness in vivo and in vitro suggests that our findings have relevance for human physiology.

aureus inhibition along with storage time The results demonstrated that bactericidal ability of PAW(−80) remained stable during storage, while that of PAW(−20), PAW(4), PAW(25) displayed a decreasing trend with increasing storage time.

Interestingly, the age span from low-to-high T stage did not demonstrate an increasing trend in a general term; specifically, the age differences became less evident when T3 were compared with the T1a stage in all ethnics.

In addition, nutrition imparted a highly significant effect on indoxacarb susceptibility.

Values of p < 0.05 were considered significant (*), whereas values of p < 0.01 and p < 0.001 were defined very significant (**) and highly significant (***), respectively.

Values with P < 0.05 were considered statistically significant, and values with P < 0.01 were considered extremely significant.

Fitting of our measured efficiency data to this equation with actual distances (R) between Nluc and mCherry in our series of linker fusion proteins produced a highly significant correlation of 0.9995 ( Fig. 1c ).

However, within each of the three decades, the increasing rate of NPP showed a decreasing trend of 20.8% per decade.

Our results showed an increasing trend for NPP at the rate of 0.076 g C m −2 a −1 from 1981–2012 (about 7.9% from 1982 to 1999), which was greater than the global rate (about 6% from 1982 to 1999) 8 .

When plotting the standard deviation versus the rank of the mean, an ideal method would produce a parallel line to the x-axis where some random fluctuations might exist but without exhibiting an overall trend.

A clear trend is observed for I off ; it increases rapidly with increasing t below 100 nm.

Highly significant is the shift in THP binding to MT1-MMP compared with MMP-1 (see Fig. 4 ).
