Total plant biomass was positively related to LAI across all treatments, but there was a negative trend between total biomass and soluble sugar pool in the stem (Fig. 5 ).

In addition, the measurements of 3D area, perimeter, height, and AP diameter showed an increasing trend during systolic phase until reaching their maximal values near end of systole, which is in agreement with the findings from previous studies 12 , 23 .

On the other hand, as results for the head orienting response to “anger” sounds were marginally significant, it would be interesting to test this condition in future studies using a larger sample of dogs in order to verify if the lack of statistical significance is only a question of statistical power.

Male preference for the acetic acid-laden fields in the 4-way olfactometer as compared to the control sides was highly significant (Fig. 4B ).

Likewise, aminotransferases showed a trend towards higher levels in patients with pAIH who achieved BR.

Post hoc analysis of VAX004 further showed a trend toward lower HIV incidence among vaccinees with CD4-blocking and V2- and V3-binding Ab activity versus placebo recipients, and higher levels of these Abs were seen in nonwhite and female volunteers 4 .

Although conflicting data have been reported, the NIH Osteoarthritis Initiative cohort study showed a trend for reduced knee joint space narrowing following bisphosphonate use after 4 years 39 .

The ToF-SIMS analysis of Ca 2+ and PO 3 − levels in articular cartilage revealed an increase in Ca 2+ in the DMM surgery group, while PO 3 − levels showed a decreasing trend in the DMM group compared to the those in the sham group.

An increasing trend with age is observed.

Furthermore, the outcomes on PI_v and PI_v+IKV confirmed the results found in the short-term adhesion analysis, resulting in a positive trend for cellular long-term attachment, differentiation and neurite sprouting for both the sequential surface modifications, thus leading to assume that vinyl groups and vinyl-bound IKV contribute to improve surface compliance for PC12 differentiation (Fig. 5C ).

There were no significant differences between WT and Cav1−/− mice with respect to potassium, calcium, urea, and creatinine levels; although a strong trend towards augmented calcium excretion and a moderate trend towards potassium wasting were observed.

Therefore, there is an increasing trend in feed industry to develop lipases as feed additives.

Eleven candidate miRNAs (shown in Supplementary Table 1 ) that were particularly abundant and for which the difference in expression in serum was highly significant were selected to determine the validity of the previously obtained results.

Nevertheless, the comparison of the different CH variants showed a trend of general better binding measurements when using the human IgG Fc capture AHC biosensors (Fig. 5 ) over that of Protein L biosensors (Fig. 3 ).

Although, we noticed an increasing trend in expression of FAS in OCILy3, it was not significantly different under hypoxia.

Initial data analysis of SUDHL2 dataset failed to detect GLUT1 and HK2 because of the highly significant pre-established criteria set for RNA enrichment co-correlation analysis.

Functional analysis of the differentially expressed mRNAs In evaluating the top differentially expressed mRNAs (n = 250), we found a highly significant enrichment for several functional annotations (Supplemental Fig. 5 ), including acetylation (genes post-translationally modified by the attachment of at least one acetyl group; n = 85 genes; Fold enrichment = 2.2; Bonferroni-adjusted p = 4.2 × 10 −11 ), mitochondrion (the site of tissue respiration

In the multivariable-adjusted model, those in quartile 3 had lower odds of severe DR or worse versus the combined no DR and minimal-moderate DR categories, than those in quartile 1 (OR, 0.35; 95% CI: 0.17 to 0.74; P = 0.006; per categorical increase in severity Model 2 in Table 2 ), and a significant trend for increasing frequency of fish consumption (P-trend = 0.024).

The maximum loading rates under different preset pressure are listed in Table 1 , where an increasing trend can be observed.

In many regions there was a clear trend for better agreement between rCPS estimates at higher injected doses.

Consistent with increased glycolysis with Age, citrate and isocitrate showed a trend towards increased abundance with Age in females (Fig.

The nitrate concentrations in the soil leachate were higher in May and mid-June than at the end of June and the end of July, and there was a decreasing trend of nitrate concentration over time.

In terms of clinical outcome, the 48 patients with EGFR mutation showed a trend towards longer DFS and a significantly longer OS, than those without EGFR mutation (Fig. 1A,B ; log-rank test, p = 0.069 and p = 0.015, respectively).

Second, an analysis of HR for bladder cancer stratified by obesity across smoking status strata showed a significant trend of increasing HR for bladder cancer across obesity and smoking status in multivariate-adjusted models.

The positive association between bladder cancer and BMI showed an increasing trend beyond the reference BMI.
