Excerpts

Marginally non-significant quadratic trends were also observed between male age and song frequency bandwidth, and peak trill frequency (Table 1 ), where values for these vocal traits increased in young males, peaked around 6 years, and decreased in late-life.

We observed among the 3,358 co-expressed pairs a highly significant enrichment of divergent (14%), same-strand (32%) and sense intronics (49%) configurations, and a significant enrichment of antisense (9%) compared to convergent (7%).

Meanwhile, a highly significant correlation (R 2 = 0.9126) was found between the qRT-PCR results and the RNA-seq data for the 12 candidate unigenes (Fig. 10 ) which also suggests that the RNA-seq data are reliable and reflect the expression levels of the transcripts.

There was no significant difference between 500 μM calcium EP and untreated cells although there was a slight trend of decreased viability.

As shown in Table 1 , the order of the six sampling sites exhibited an increasing trend in salinization.

Moreover, the counties with smaller correlation coefficients between SDI and new infection rates tend to have an increasing trend in the cumulative number of confirmed cases at the end of the study period.

In the simple regression model, the temporal lobe had the greatest number of regions with highly significant correlations (three regions), followed by the parietal lobe (also with three regions, but less significant compared with the temporal lobe).

In the present study, noise-exposed animals showed a trend for increases in startle amplitude at several frequency bands.

Interestingly, Euryarchaeaota and WSA2 showed a decreasing trend with depth indicating that a decrease in the methanogen population (and in turn methane production) resulted in a relative enrichment of the carbon isotope signal.

26 , in a retrospective review of 30 cases, also reported improvements for visual acuity, however with a negative trend for fixation stability, confirming the utility of the same tool in AMD patients.

A moderately significant correlation was observed between stronger flg22 response and lower TLS resistance.

Compared to clothed skin, hair and scalp skin are relatively unprotected areas of the body and are likely to be significant sites of exposure during and after a chemical incident.

The RMSE values presented an increasing trend, demonstrating that as the latitude decreased, the difficulty of prediction increased.

A smaller, but still highly significant reduction in mean F adh values was also observed when N315 cells were probed with CVC fragments of type II that were preincubated with physiological concentrations of human Fg (Fig. 4 b).

WT mice fed a HFD showed a trend towards increased expression of NLRP3, but this difference was not statistical significant ( P = 0.06).

A very small almost insignificant difference is recorded at the resistive state level (Fig. 3 ).

The LTT plot showed a trend of exponential lineage growth in the width of the phylogenetic tree on a logarithmic scale suggesting that the diversity rate of all Acer species remained stable (Fig. 3 A,C).

In addition, regarding variables other than HLA mismatch, positive CMV serostatus (HR 5.08 [0.75–34.3], p = 0.09), underlying disease (lymphoid malignancies including ALL or ML) (HR 3.70 [1.83–7.48], p < 0.01), prior auto-SCT (HR 2.65 [1.01–7.00], p = 0.04), year of CBT (2015 or later) (HR 2.86 [1.39–5.87], p < 0.01), and lower total nucleated cell counts (NCC) (HR 1.88 [0.93–3.80], p = 0.07) were related to a higher incidence of viral infection with significance or borderline significance (Table 2 ).

Similar to our findings in mice, Akkermansia increased abundance in glioma patients demonstrated a decreasing trend following TMZ treatment (Supplementary Fig.

in a recent systematic review, analyzed the association between GSTM1 and GSTT1 deletion and survival, concluding that most studies showed no effect or a slight trend towards a worse survival 13 .

The authors found a highly significant odds ratio between IgE + and IgE− patients 34 .

However, a pooled analysis of nine randomized-controlled trials suggested that the remission-maintaining effect of mesalazine in patients after remission induction by surgical treatment is somewhat significant in suppressing relapse compared with placebo 6 .

Among different measurements, the lowest and highest prevalence of low physical activity were observed in 2006 and 2011, respectively (Table 2 —Appendix); in other words, a positive trend towards a sedentary lifestyle seems evident in most adolescents.

The adolescents' lifestyles showed an increasing trend for physical inactivity in both genders; however, in rural areas, only girls had a rising affinity for a sedentary lifestyle throughout the 2006–2011 years.

reported that the collagen concentrations in human AV, MV, and TV showed a decreasing trend from age group of 20–30 to age group of 80 35 .
