The graph shows a clear trend, confirming the relationship between polymer surface polarity and NR fluorescent colour.

The μ r ′′ values show an increasing trend from −1.90 to −3.2 at 2 GHz with an increase in annealing temperature from 650 °C to 1250 °C.

14 examined difference in sex-specific results in the long-term association between PM 10 and PD, and reported a marginally significant higher effect in women ( p interaction = 0.06).

Handling method had a highly significant influence on general exploratory behaviour during testing: mice handled using a tunnel or cupped on the open hand exhibited much more active exploration and less caution than those that were picked up by the tail (P < 0.0001, Table 1a ; Fig. 3a ).

This model, furthermore, could not explain why the EQLs occurred not only at the 3 rd stage, when the electrokinetic effect might be significant, but also at the 1 st and 2 nd stages when it might be less important.

Higher nitrate retention ratio by deeper soil frost penetration can be an interesting trend, because soil frost control to manage volunteer potatoes could also allow the alleviation of groundwater pollution by nitrate.

2 and Table S3 ) that are at least nominally significant in both cohorts.

Interestingly, rs109815800 showed significant associations for all milk traits using these models ( Table 4 ), including a highly significant reduction in milk fat yield, and decreases in milk volume and protein yield in animals carrying the PLAG1 high-expression ‘G’ allele.

In further support of a role of plaque lymphangiogenesis in T-cell accumulation, CD3 + T cells were increased after siRNA CXCL12 targeting, at borderline significance ( Fig. 4B ).

An important trend in the rational design of drugs acting on the pathogenesis of the disease comprises efforts to stabilize the intracellular transport provided by the system of microtubules.

Although earthworm density had a highly significant effect on aboveground plant biomass, only the highest densities (>400 individuals m −2 ) differed significantly from lower densities ( Fig. 5b ).

As the average fiber length decreases, the transmission haze of TOWF-coated flexible glass illustrates a decreasing trend.

15 revealed a highly significant correlation between insertion-torque-values (ITV), periotest-values (PTV), resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and radiographic bone density (RBD) in maxillary sinus augmentation with simultaneous implant insertion in a human cadaver study.

It has been reported that the elastic modulus of individual collagen fibril (extracted from AC) and AC tissue exhibit an increasing trend with the advancement of osteoarthritis, and the length of D-band for individual type II collagen fibril decreased accordingly 16 , 22 , 30 .

A decreasing trend in Arctic sea-ice concentration is evident in recent years, whereas Antarctic sea-ice concentration exhibits a generally increasing trend.

The exception 17 resulted in a marginally significant inverse association (RR = 0.860, 95% CI = 0.704–1.051).

Swedes usually regard seafood as a healthy alternative to meat, thus there is an increasing trend of seafood consumption.

Recent studies have indicated that PhytOC production flux of some plants shows a decreasing trend: bamboo (0.70 t-e-CO 2 ha −1 yr −1 ) 6 > sugarcane (0.36 t-e-CO 2 ha −1 yr −1 ) 23 > wheat (0.25 t-e-CO 2 ha −1 yr −1 ) 24 > rice (0.13 t-e-CO 2 ha −1 yr −1 ) 13 > millet (0.03 t-e-CO 2 ha −1 yr −1 ) 25 .

This receptor shows quite significant root mean square fluctuations in the backbone in particular for the loop and tail structures.

More importantly, an increasing trend was observed in China from 2005–2010 13 when the annual incidence rate of mumps was 20 per 100,000 to an increase in 30 per 100,000 during 2011–2012.

There was a decreasing trend in the Moran’s I from 2005 to 2014.

The coefficient on the network measure was positive and highly significant when added to the basic model (column 2).

These differences were only marginally significant ( Fig.
