Excerpts

From the perspective of spatial change, the indices basically showed a trend of increasing gradually from north to south.

Rx1day, Rx5day, R95p, and PRCPTOT showed a decreasing trend, and their climate tendency rates were − 0.16 mm/10a, − 0.28 mm/10a, − 2.60 mm/10a, and − 12.88 mm/10a, respectively.

Additionally, when patients were divided into 3 groups: the first 28, second 29, and the last 29 patients, there was a clear trend toward better efficacy and safety outcomes with more experience with TightRail (P trend < 0.05).

There was a significant trend toward better efficacy and safety outcomes with more experience although lead ages were not significantly different among the three subgroups (Fig. 3 ).

We believe that this aspect could have a differentiated effect according to the job category: indeed, if a condition of quarantine or preventive isolation implies a more or less significant economic loss for business owners, this loss does not exist for the other categories.

Overall, the total water demand shows an increasing trend in 2035 planning year.

In terms of mortality, an increasing trend was observed across time, and temperature with 85% of the variance explained by the GAMM (Fig. 4 B).

As for stomatal conductance, we found that it also showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, while only difference with the photosynthetic rate was that RR treatment was higher than the control group during core-hardening periods , and was lower during other two stages (Fig. 3 D–F).

Figure 1 F well reported that there existed extremely significant differences in TSS between RR treatment and control group in DAF 57, 67, 77, 87, 90, 100, 110 stages.

Meanwhile, titratable acid (TA) content, as an indicator of fruit taste, contrary to TSS, showed a decreasing trend with fruit ripening.

There may be significant potential biases that were not controlled for.

3 , which includes all observed nominally significant associations (all ps < 0.05).

However, a decreasing trend in the abundance of E. encrasicolus in the diet of hake was evident from the smallest to the largest size classes collected within the Pomo Pit, in which this prey seemed to be replaced by M . poutassou .

An overall trend towards a decrease in INC with increasing preincubation times was noted but was not statistically significant ( P = 0.08).

Also, it can be seen from the above figures that the difference in shear stress at both ends of the anchorage section at various positions shows a decreasing trend when the external load gradually increases to the ultimate load, the shear stress distribution of the anchorage section presents a uniform distribution trend along the length of the anchorage section, and the maximum shear stress value gradually approaches the ultimate shear strength value of the surrounding soil.

Specifically, when specified without cluster-robust standard errors—which, however, is recommended 49 —the model yielded a marginally significant negative difference-in-differences estimate (i.e., direct counterevidence for the risk compensation hypothesis).

OCD stool samples showed a trend towards lower bacterial α-diversity, as well as an increase of the relative abundance of Rikenellaceae , particularly of the genus Alistipes , and lower relative abundance of Prevotellaceae , and two genera within the Lachnospiraceae : Agathobacer and Coprococcus.

In August–October, there was enough rain to clean all panels, and there were fewer cloudy days resulting in a decreasing trend in ΔP.

6 c) showed a trend similar to the neurogenic differentiation rate (Fig. 6 b), although the standard deviations were substantially larger due to the huge variation in the NeuN expression level across many orders of magnitude (Fig. 6 a).

A test for formal interaction between obesity status and total percent fat approached significance (p interaction = 0.054); the interaction between obesity status and fat mass was not significant (p interaction = 0.23).

Of note, while AChRγ mRNA showed a trend toward upregulation (Fig. 3 a), histological NMJ denervation was not observed in fast-twitch EDL muscles (Fig. 3 d,e), suggesting that denervation of NMJs occurs predominantly in slow fibers as a consequence of TFG deletion in the innervating nerves.

Digestive gland Contrary to that observed in hemolymph, the digestive gland showed a trend towards increasing the six genes' mRNA levels analyzed after exposure to Ag-NPs (Fig. 3 ).

A similar scatterplot inspection of the positive association between change in vividness and change in self-defeating behavior revealed that the datapoints were more spread out and that there was a clearer linear trend in the data (footnote: Non-parametric analyses using Wilcoxon signed ranks testing revealed that the change over time in vividness [ z = − 2.70, p = 0.004 (one-tailed)] was significant and the change over time in self-defeating behavior [ z = − 1.62, p = 0.052 (one-tailed)] was marginally significant, suggesting that these findings were not the result of extreme values.).

Statistical comparisons (t-test) between the treatment and the control group were performed using software SPSS 19.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL) with a significance level of 0.05 and an extremely significant level of 0.01.

Effect of time in culture on cell–substrate and cell–cell adhesions An interesting trend in the data in Fig. 2 was that, with increasing time, the data moved toward the origin on the plot, suggesting the ratio of viscosity to friction increased over time.
