Excerpts

The pore sizes, however, first, show an increasing trend, then decrease gradually with the increase of exchanged ion content of AE 2+ .

Throughout the study, a highly significant seasonal correlation was demonstrated between the percentage of apolytic ticks on birds, and the monthly population density of lepidopterans.

The more severely-damaged brain may in fact be at greater risk of the deleterious effects of accidental over-cooling during HT, as the group cooled to 18 °C in the severe HI model showed a trend towards increased damage compared to the control group.

The SpRXR mRNA level was found to show an increasing trend with ovarian development from the pre-vitellogenic to the late vitellogenic stage, with a significant increase detected at the late vitellongenic stage ( Fig. 2B ).

Because of large numbers most results were highly significant as shown by 95%CIs in the Tables.

The differences in penetration rates between the selected initial donor concentrations were quite significant ( Fig. 3a ), and a linear increase of J max was observed as the concentration of the initial donor PHE solution increased ( Fig. 3b ).

A clear trend is observed: as the PAAH concentration increases, the intensity of the diffraction peaks associated with the ZnO wurtzite structure decreases and the peaks eventually disappear at the highest concentration.

In our study, we did not find a significant trend for association between these two polymorphisms and GDM, which might be mediated through the association between BMI.

A clear trend for the formation of such clusters was also visible in ground beetles ( Fig. 1b ) and the vegetation ( Fig. 1a ), but particularly in the plant communities, there was a higher degree of overlap between plots from different sites.

The rise in insulin levels induced by glucose and the corresponding AUC showed an increasing trend in the MetS hypertensive group ( Fig. 1c,d ).

Although the percentage of increase of heat flux reduced at higher fluxes, the amount of increased heat flux was still quite significant for the bi-functional surfaces, which lead to reasonable expectation of markedly higher CHF as both nucleate boiling and capillary pumping were deliberately introduced.

Jackal survival also appeared to show an increasing trend over the years (‘Time’ factor in Table 4 ), and this factor was included here for controlling this source of variation.

ANOVA showed significant contributions by season, salinity zone, and year to the variances of f_chl-a taxa for several major taxonomic groups, with highly significant (p ≪ 0.001) effects of climatic conditions on all but one group ( Table 2 ).

73290, showed extremely significant differences in SNPP in all four investigated environments.

Furthermore, using the CMx platform a positive trend between CTC count (or detection rates) and the progression from hyperplastic to adenomatous and dysplastic polyps could be readily established ( Table 1 ).

Previous studies in Cameroon have reported lesion prevalence estimates between 0.18–4.25% 12 but the Northwest Region (NWR) of the country has generally been <1% although more recent data has suggested an increasing trend in the NWR 13 since 2003.

The significant modification of ~0.35 eV in the split-off energy in the dilute-P GaNP alloys is quite significant as compared to the GaN and GaP alloys where the split-off energy value is only less than 0.1 eV 47 .

However, the influence of the entropic torque on the DW motion is an established trend with the DW moving towards the hot edge.

The activation profile of the different OSNs revealed a highly significant activation in response to food odor compared to controls in ciliated and microvillous OSNs (cOSNs, mOSNs) ( Fig. 3a,b ).

The calculated R ′ showed a decreasing trend with depth for both Fe and P, reflecting that the capacity of the sediment solids to sustain the pore water Fe or P became weaker with depth.

There was an increasing trend with depth down to the sediment bottom at Sites 3, 7, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15 and 16 for both Fe and P, and at Site 5 for Fe.

And a clear trend of antifouling capability is revealed as GO-P-S membrane >P membrane >GO-P membrane.

There is an obvious trend that longer duration would result in more rescued subjects, at least in the earlier stages of sepsis.

Simple effects tests to investigate group differences at each time point showed a trend where the highly significant group difference at time zero (described above) became not quite significant after two weeks and then not significant after four weeks (F = 233.5, P < 0.0001; F = 3.29, P = 0.072; F = 0.28, P = 0.60, respectively, with df = 1, 114 for all three tests).

Tsuang YH 2 found that SCs showed a trend to survive without damage under an intensity of 300 mW/cm 2 ultrasound.
