Alpha-levels were set to 0.05 for each analysis, α ≤ 0.10 was interpreted as a statistical trend.

Differing results have been found in a Swedish study showing a positive trend between PFOA and BMI z-scores at 4–5 years of age 40 .

Like the other ALMs, repetition proportion showed means for the ASD group that were indicative of more atypicality than for the other two groups, but differences fell just short of statistical significance.

Repetition proportion followed the same pattern, but did not quite reach significance.

This has also been an important trend in conventional DNNs, which minimizes the total number of neurons and computations used for multiple related tasks to improve hardware efficiency, namely multi-task learning 27 .

To address these challenges, there has been a significant trend in building high-performance DNNs hardware platforms.

From the perspective of iron deposition, previous studies have shown a decreasing trend of iron contained in the acute phase of MS 31 , which may lead to failure to detect iron deposition in the short-term acute model in this study.

Moreover, patients with Type 3c diabetes showed an increasing trend for fatty acids and sphingolipids (eg. myoinositol) compared to the healthy controls.

There was a favorable trend toward TMT in relapse-free survival (RFS), but the difference in 3-year RFS was not statistically significant (23.8% v. 45.2%, p = 0.45) 28 .

With an increase in degradation, the vegetation coverage has been reduced, and soil nutrient contents appear to exhibit a decreasing trend in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau 21 .

Recently, there is an increasing trend of using metallic nanoparticles (NPs) in agriculture due to their potential role in remediating soil pollution and improving nutrient utilization from fertilizers.

Total betacyanins and betaxanthins, betalains had highly significant positive associations among themselves, with total carotenoids, AC (DPPH and ABTS + ).

Anwikar and colleagues 37 observed a highly significant association between the use of zidovudine and anemia.

Several peaks in the spectral region between 1600 and 1000 cm −1 showed highly significant regression equation with a higher coefficient of determination values in Phase II in contrary to the slow passing Phase I.

Intermittent HD and CKRT were major dialysis modalities, with an increasing trend in relative CKRT use in hospitalized pediatric patients treated for AKI.

With the Sysdimet dataset, it is approximated that one third of the nutrients might be significant for each measured concentration.

Moisture, distance to water, height of herbaceous cover, elevation, and tree cover had significant simple effects; the effect of proportion of conifers in the canopy was only marginally significant (Table 3 ).

Nevertheless, both objective and subjective measures showed a trend to a greater DOF for Tecnis Symfony and Tecnis Synergy IOLs compared to most of trifocal diffractive designs, with the exception of PanOptix.

During diurnal flights over non-barriers, season had a small and marginally significant impact on ground speed.

The exceptions were rectal and endometrial cancers for which the SIR for ‘All’ diagnostic age groups was clearly significant.

Again, the inoculation treatment was highly significant, both in larvae and in adults, as shown by the difference between the ABPV titres in the ABPV-inoculated series compared to the DWV-inoculated and non-inoculated series.

An increasing trend in the ventral anterior cingulate cortex was observed using ICA and supported by a similar increasing pattern observed using sDL.

Functional testing showed that IPC colonies secreted C-peptide under a basal condition and showed a trend of glucose-responsive C-peptide secretion upon high (22 mM) glucose stimulation.

The obtained IPCs from Notch inhibition during pancreatic endoderm/progenitor induction showed pancreatic islet/beta-cell characteristics and a positive trend of functional property.

However, some cases did not show a decreasing trend in the heterologous combinations (Supplementary Fig.
