This mass budget approach has recently been reevaluated over January 2004–December 2015 7 and leads to a positive trend of 2.13 ± 0.14 mm · yr −1 (see 7 ).

Collectively, a clear trend was observed and indicated that CA-AKI is more prevalent than HA-AKI and has a much lower mortality rate 22 .

The main effects ‘gdh’ and ‘treatment’ were highly significant with p-values of 0.0002 and 0.0088, respectively.

19 found that grain yield per plant showed a highly significant positive correlation with the 1000-grain weight, plant height and planting density.

Instead, the mice showed a trend in increased saliva production with higher % area of inflammation.

Of course, a reduction of such a factor in the experimental investments and efforts would be extremely significant, given the cost of running present day large fusion devices.

In contrast, the decadal time series of PC8 shows several moving decades outside the significant thresholds and is dominated by an increasing trend that began in the 1970s and continued unabated until 2015 (Fig. 6H ).

The PC6 mean monthly record from Tierra del Fuego also shows a positive trend in surface runoff during the period of available measurements (from December 1980 to April 2016, with two series from May 1981 onwards; Fig. 4F ).

Finally, however, Experiment 1 also demonstrated a non-spatial attentional bias towards high dominance female faces, which suggests that there may be significant differences in how attention is allocated to dominant males and females.

Highly significant positive associations of betalain, β-xanthin, and β-cyanin were exhibited among pigments and with TAC (ABTS + ), TAC (DPPH), and TPC.

Bulk density did not differ much through the mangrove soil depth profile, ranging from 0.86 to 0.94 g cm 3 , but was greatest in the surface soil layers of the ponds and showed a decreasing trend with depth (Fig. 3 ).

Conclusions This study adds to the growing literature on the role of mangroves as highly significant global C sinks and improves understanding of C dynamics associated with land-use change in mangroves.

In this stage, the hump shape was consistently observed (the quadratic term was highly significant, and alpha-diversity in low- and medium-dispersal categories was significantly higher than in no- and high-dispersal categories: difference = 0.34, s.e. = 0.12, p = 0.005).

It showed a trend similar to gamma-diversity in late succession, with dispersal having a positive effect in lower temperatures and a negative one in higher temperatures.

Noteworthy, fish showed a trend preference for the eighth exit (which corresponded specularly to the second exit from the right corridor side); this was not observed in the two previous experiments, although this preference was not above chance level (V = 19.00, p = 0.221) and not significantly different from the seventh exit (W = 5.00, p = 0.423).

These showed a trend of slight up-regulation at early times after irradiation, without a clear dose effect, and a trend of down-regulation at later times, particularly after the highest dose.

4a showed that the CV of soil moisture content in all soil horizons has fluctuated remarkably yet showed an increasing trend along with decreasing soil water potential.

A small trend for improvement was observed for SBP at 3-months follow-up in the MBSR group.

As vascular calcification is linked to hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia 36 , 37 , the impact of these conditions on dp-ucMGP values is likely to be significant.

In the middle-upper Kunae Zone, start a positive trend from −29.5 to −28.0‰.

This VFA registered an increasing trend from Sc.

The mean male-to-female incidence ratio was estimated as 1.41 in the whole population, and the incidence and prevalence of CN6 palsy showed an increasing trend over time in the study period.

We note that many papers treating CO 2 degassing from volcanoes also include a non-quantified (but possibly significant) fraction of CO 2 from background-biogenic sources present.

An increasing trend in ΔH m was detected by DSC after the incorporation of PEG.

To a lesser extent, feelings of loneliness showed a trend for exacerbating the likelihood of recurrent depressive symptoms when taking all analyses results into account.
