That is, the aromatics biodegradation showed a trend that the less branched or un-branched components were preferentially degraded, and the effects gradually weakened with the crude oil concentrations increased.

There was a significant trend towards lower VEGF-A (p trend = 0.001) and higher MMP-2 levels (p trend = 0.004) in eyes with MMD.

In Table 2 , PO 4 -P fluxes exhibited a slightly significant degree of variation with respect to the capping material, while they were significantly influenced by the temperature.

Upon prestimulation of the cremaster muscle with LPS, however, cessation of blood flow was significantly accelerated and a slight trend towards an even faster onset of platelet adhesion was noted, although not reaching statistical significance (Fig. 1B–D ).

Supplementary File 2 : Table S2 lists the highly significant positive-oriented and negative-oriented gapped dipeptides observed in these sequons along with UniProt evidences and the N-GlyDE prediction scores.

Hence the GH+ group showed a trend towards higher rates of cardiac and urogenital abnormalities as well as higher proportion of patients who declared lymphedema and feeding problems during infancy.

Results Long-term trends and periodicities Total phytoplankton biomass (TB hereafter) experienced a decreasing trend in Las Madres lake for the whole period under study (Fig. 1a ).

The analysis of time series using AEM revealed a negative trend for TB from 1992–2016 (Table 2 ), as already mentioned, and two further periodicities: a decadal (17 years) and an annual one (Table 2 ).

Throughout the whole series (1992–2016), all biomasses of taxonomical groups (TGBs hereafter), except that of Diatoms, showed a trend and periodicity in their dynamics (Table 2 ).

7 ), plant hormone signal transduction was downregulated in pairwise JCFI vs JCFII and JCFII vs JCFIII but showed a trend to upregulate in pairwise JCFIII vs JCFIV; starch and sucrose metabolism was upregulated in pairwise JCFIII vs JCFIV; protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum was upregulated in pairwise JCFIII vs JCFII; tryptophan metabolism associated with auxin metabolism was upregulated in pairwise JCFI vs JCFII; alpha-linolenic acid metabolism associated with JA metabolism was upregulated in pairwise JCFIII vs JCFIV; phenylalanine metabolism associated with SA metabolism was downregulated in pairwise JCFI vs JCFII.

The S6k1 −/− mice showed a trend for being hyperactive, but this did not reach significance for either gender (males: F 1,33 = 1.266, P = 0.271; females: F 1,31 = 3.265, P = 0.080).

In our study, current smoking was not associated with 15D, but ex-smoking remained of borderline significance.

Partially controlled asthma, BMI, previous smoking and number of drugs in use (other indications than asthma/allergy) were not associated with poorer 15D score, even though the two latter had borderline significance (Table 3 ).

A decreasing trend of H 2 O 2 concentration was observed in the release media from 48 to 72 hours, that may be attributed to an ageing of H 2 O 2 , as observed in cell culture media 37 .

This knowledge is extremely significant in order to minimize the environmental aftereffects of open-pit mining in Europe.

The COD concentration showed a trend with two distinct peaks where the highest concentration was observed either early morning between 8:00 am to 9:00 am or early night around 8:00 pm.

mongolica , and showed a decreasing trend in 60–100 cm soil layers 66 .

Discussion Spatial variability An earlier study showed large spatial variability in primary production in the North Pacific 32 , i.e., an overall increase from the south to the north and an increasing trend from the east to the west, similar to the spatial pattern of POC (Fig. 2 ).

Studies have also shown a decreasing trend in chlorophyll and net community production from 1971 to 2000 in the surface waters of the Northwest Pacific 11 , 12 .

Our systematic search through COREMINE ( www.coremine.com ) revealed 7652 article abstracts containing both neoplasms and diagnostic errors (or synonymous terms), with an increasing trend over time.

In contrast, GLSR was not different at Endo- level, showed a trend of decrease at Myo- level and is significant at Epi- level (−0.84 ± 0.11 vs −0.71 ± 0.15, p = 0.008) between these 2 groups.

Accordingly, when considering the pressure group scale, the global effect of the factor Group was highly significant with pairwise differences detected between the control group and the two others.

Passed that threshold, although a clear trend remained visible (Fig. 4a ), it appeared difficult to attribute to the increasing dredging intensity the observed changes in interface rugosity (Table 1 ) as well as in station scale spatial heterogeneity (Fig. 4b , Table 1 ).

Although, alpha helix showed a decreasing trend in W239R mutant between 35–85 ns, after that it was stable (Fig.

Mutant W239R presented an increasing trend in RMSD value throughout 36.9 ns (RMSD ~3.611 Å) and 140 ns (RMSD ~3.76 Å) of MD simulation.
