Zoning showed a near-significant and positive effect on hard coral cover at the end of the study but was not a significant predictor of the proportional change in hard coral cover.

In our study in ulcerative colitis children positive relationship between IL-17A with PUCAI and stool calprotectin showed a tendency toward significance.

After comparative analysis of the stress–strain curves of vertical and parallel bedding samples after 0, 20 and 40 freeze–thaw cycles, a common conclusion could be drawn: under the same freeze–thaw cycle conditions, the stress–strain curve showed an overall trend of stretching upward and to the right under the same freeze–thaw cycle conditions, regardless of whether the specimen was vertical or parallel.

All regressions for fortnights 2 and 3 were highly significant, although coefficients of determination were modest, indicating considerable unexplained variation.

Moreover, we observed that the T c of the high- P phase showed a trend of decreasing with decreasing RE ionic radius.

A clear trend of decrease in cluster density (light gray and black) as well as increase in cluster size (light blue and blue) is observed as one moves further away from the nozzle.

Although ZDON resulted in an increasing trend in both total β-catenin and non-phosphorylated β-catenin in the presence or absence of TGFβ1, the canonical Wnt signaling target proteins Axin2 and Tcf1 were not affected or were instead decreased by ZDON at the protein level.

For weekend sleep duration, we found a significant trend between longer sleep and higher odds of overweight and obesity, but only in males (p-for-trend, 0.01).

More interestingly, by using the above described purification protocol and analytical method, three of the four recombinant strains (those overexpressing kfoF ) showed a highly significant increase (more than 50%, see Table 3 ) of the molecular weight of the overproduced CPS, once again clearly demonstrating the importance of precursor supply not only for its production, but also its potential for controlling and tailoring the molecular weight of the biopolymer.

There was a clear trend for compounds co-annotated to the same MoA to be either all active or all inactive in any given reporter line.

An increasing trend for risk, of 31% and 66% for every 5-year period when period of diagnosis was considered as a continuous variable, was also detected specifically for tonsillar and base of tongue cancers, respectively (supplementary Tables 6 and 7 ).

Of note, calendar period and age did not show a clear trend in the multivariable analysis for all OPC sites and for tonsil.

Multivariate analysis included stent group and diabetes with borderline significance related to stent patency adjusted for age and sex, revealing that LPS use was significantly associated with sufficient stent patency until surgery (HR = 0.103, 95% CI 0.022–0.470, P = 0.0033) (Table 3 ).

However, in the on-med/pre-DBS condition these relationships only exhibited a statistical trend (Fig. 1 a).

Here, the ANOVA for the malachite green removal % indicate that the model terms are highly significant which is confirmed by the F (Fishers’ variance ratio) value ( F- value = 127.64) and a very small P- value [˂ 0.0001] (Table 2 ).

Results The probabilities (significance or approached significance) for a group effect, a time effect and the group-by-time interaction were shown in the figures, and the probabilities for differences in discrete endpoints are given in the text.

Some researchers found a highly significant association between the contact with MDR-TB patient and incident MDR-TB 6 , 17 , 36 .

Epidemiologic studies show that there is a clear trend of significantly decreasing risk of EOC with increasing numbers of pregnancies and deliveries, extended duration of oral contraceptive use, and extended duration of breastfeeding, all of which are associated with lower levels of and reduced exposure to FSH 6 .

Probe trials after removal of the hidden escape platform showed a trend towards reduced time TAU58/2.muMT −/− mice spent in the target quadrant and increased time in the opposite quadrant of the MWM as compared with controls, but differences did not reach significance (Fig. 2 d).

After the application of ComBat, the two-stage approach showed a trend of increasing number of significant features with the increase of total number of features in the matrix (Fig. 4 e).

No significant correlation was observed for ROR2 expression on OS or PFS, however patients with high ROR2 showed a trend towards better PFS.

Heavy metals are generally taken up by plants proportionally to their concentration in the soil 37 , as confirmed by the obtained highly significant correlation coefficients between the content of available and total forms (Table 3 ).

For neutral loci, all pairwise differentiation values were highly significant.

The numbers show an increasing trend since 2008, in line with what has been observed in many other countries 40 , 41 .

Occludin and Claudin-4 mRNA levels displayed a decreasing trend in DSS-treated Ch25h -deficient mice (Fig. 3 A).
