Excerpts

The data showed that the patients with the G/T genotype of rs2076369 performed better than the T/T homozygotes in the summary score, global composite score, neurocognitive composite score, category fluency subtest, WAIS-III-Digit Symbol Coding subtest, working memory, WMS-III-Spatial Span (backward) subtest, MSCEIT-managing emotions branch (p = 0.038, 0.025, 0.046, 0.036, 0.025, 0.027, 0.035, 0.028, respectively) (Table 5 ). The results of G/T heterozygotes showed a trend of better performance than the G/G homozygotes in all the domains except on the Trail Making A subtest (the higher scores indicated the poorer performance), CPT-IP (the d′ value in the first session of CPT) and WMS-III-word listing subtest which showed G/G had better performance than G/T, but they did not reach statistical significance.

In addition, the EM4-treated mice showed a trend towards a reduction of infarction and neurological deficits (Fig. 3B,C ).

We defined increasing positive phenological interval as a positive trend in the difference between arrival and green-up, when arrival increasingly lags green-up.

And the NH 4 + -N and NO 3 − -N concentrations under the OPT treatment were higher than under the FFP treatment in the top 20 cm of the soil layer, indicating that soil NH 4 + -N and NO 3 − -N were gradually leached down into deeper soil layers due to precipitation and irrigation. We also simultaneously analyzed the results from the large demonstration area under field conditions from the Soil Testing and Formulated Fertilization database for Jiangsu, and the results were consistent with the location field experiment, which showed a trend in rice yield of OPT > FFP > CK.

Simultaneously, the total N showed a decreasing trend from the south to the north of Jiangsu.

The Young’s moduli of SCWF-AgNPs were decreased in comparison with SCWF, with a highly significant negative correlation.

EndophilinA2 showed a trend toward decreased co-trafficking with Rab5 in the presence of BDNF (Fig. 4B ).

5G and H , respectively). Using multivariate analysis (Cox’s proportional hazard model), the concurrent expression of both protein is not significantly associated with better prognosis in each of subgroup of PNETs, although a statistical trend could be seen (p value between 0.150 to 0.08, see Supplementary Table S8 ), likely due to the smaller sample sizes when we divided all PNETs into 4 groups.

It is highly significant that a waste resource, such as waste cooking oil, can be used in a copper slag depletion process thereby reducing carbon emissions.

Despite the increasing temperature and moisture stress early in our simulations, our results, similar to other studies 19 , showed a trend of continued C uptake and increasing TEC into the 22 nd century (Fig. 2 ).

Relative to baseline, increasing temperature under projected climate resulted in an increasing trend of upslope movement in snowline elevation (threshold elevation below which mean monthly temperature ≥0 °C for all year) over the century (Fig. 3 ), decreasing the area maintaining snow cover by 20–84% across transects under mean projected late-century (2090–2100) climate.

The seasonal distribution of malaria admissions in the study area changed considerably and exhibited a decreasing trend over time with an abrupt increase observed in 2008.

Likewise, the R a scores show a numerical trend of the multi-package sample similar to that of the LER score, reaching maximum values of 94–96 in the white CCT range between 10000 and 2000 K.

Correlation analysis showed that the concentration of MBC and the ratio of MBC to MBN were both negatively correlated with soil TN concentration, and that these correlations were highly significant.

MMF treatment showed a trend toward lower plasma IgM levels and did not affect anti-dsDNA IgM as seen upon early treatment (Supplementary Figure 8E and F ).

Peak frequency, peak amplitude and fundamental frequency of elements all showed a clear trend of gradual increase during song progression (Table 1 , Fig. 2 ).

One question may be raised, the molecular weight of SPF HMW is higher than that of SPF LMW only by a factor of about 1.15, there is hardly significant difference in molecular weight so that tunable χ S should be tenuous.

Soil invertase and acid phosphatase activities showed a decreasing trend in CR model compared with the MR model in all of the layers examined, but the differences were not statistically significant ( p > 0.05).

The pH values and C:N ratio showed an increasing trend in the CR model compared with the MR model in all of the layers examined, but the differences were not statistically significant ( p > 0.05).

It is also noted that in contrast to MPs with open pores, MP population showed an increasing trend with decreasing pore-to-MP size ratio.

The frequencies of the oscillations show a clear trend of a decline with respect to x up to 0.29 (Fig. 6(a) ).

Differences were considered significant when the P value was less than 0.05 (*) and highly significant when the P value was less than 0.01 (**).

Triglycerides levels showed a significant trend.

During the period 2000–2011, BC incidence in China kept an increasing trend with an annual percentage change (APC) of 3.9 3 .

Specifically, the map STP ( s , t ) exhibited a definite trend from the southwest low incidence region to the northeast high incidence region, which is also the trend of the actual incidence distribution.
