The δ 13 C values of AK specimens show a decreasing trend from the Upper Solutrean to the Azilian (~23–12 ka cal BP), ranging from δ 13 C −20.3 to −21.0‰ ( supplementary Table 3 and supplementary Fig. 1a ).

Although the linear precipitation trend in southeastern China is barely significant at the 80% level, an increasing (decreasing) precipitation in summer rainfall is evident over southeastern (northeastern) China from 1985–1994 to 2001–2010 ( Fig. 2B ).

Furthermore, a negative trend of precipitation in the western-to-central US for 1985–2010 is also found ( Supplementary Fig.

In addition, the total precipitation variability from the CMAP observations shows an increasing trend of summer precipitation in southeastern China for 1985–2010 ( Fig. 2A ).

Six of these seven, marginally significant, ROH were more common in the controls than in the cases.

4b,c ) reflected the pattern of separation in the yeast chemistry, demonstrating highly significant differences for C. zemplinina vs.

Soluble sugars, reducing sugars, total sugars, starch, and soluble protein showed a decreasing trend with increasing Cd under Cd stress alone ( Fig. 2a–d,f ).

These data indicated that, in spite of the highly significant vaccination activity of non-transduced cells in the CT26 model, irradiated FAP-expressing tumor cells were more efficacious than irradiated cells alone in eliciting anti-tumor immunity in multiple types of tumors.

This improvement may be highly significant in the clinic.

In the largest dataset ( GSE15222 ), we observed nominally significant differences in SNAP25 expression between females and males among AD patients but not among controls.

This difference was highly significant, with hypergeometric p-value 1.71 × 10 −4 .

At 50 μM, azure A also showed a trend towards inhibition but it did not reach statistical significance.

A tentative explanation for the slight, marginally significant, difference in response times between musicians and non-musicians could be that musicians are more meticulous in the task, being slower in their responses but obtaining better performances.

observed a decreasing trend in Young’s modulus with increasing irradiances, reaching no statistically significant difference between the 18 mW/cm 2 and the control group.

Patients who developed anti-TNF antibodies showed a trend toward clinical improvement.

In the node of the Arvicanthini and Otomyini, a small metacone in vertical orientation is predicted as the most probable ancestral state (80.3%) but is marginally insignificant over the second most probable ancestral state, a large metacone in parallel orientation (12.2%, difference of log likelihood = 1.89).

Similar to the northward shift of the region with the lowest simulated BVOC emissions in TP, the region with an increasing trend in BVOC emissions in TP also shifts northward due to the overestimation of the biomass in its southern part.

Additionally, the spatial distribution of anammox bacterial abundance was characterized by an increasing trend from high to low latitudes ( Supplementary Fig.

Recently, outcomes in terms of both survival and morbidity have been found to improve with partial nephrectomy, and an increasing trend toward using partial nephrectomy has been noted in more complex surgical cases 1 .

A decreasing trend in glacial and interglacial mean terrestrial net primary production was observed from coastal South China to East China 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 .

Because the predicted average concentration of CNTs in soil (0.01–0.02 μg/kg) is far below those used in the present study 47 , the effects of CNTs (0.2–2,000 mg/kg) on mineralization and transformation of 14 C-catechol may be significant and relevant in “hot-spot” areas of CNTs-contaminated soils.

According to the wavelet coherence analysis, there was a very weak association between ENSO, IOD and dengue incidence, but a highly significant coherence between dengue incidence and local climate variables (temperature and rainfall).

The summation of total latency (tL), total duration (tD), and total frequency (tF) and coping type were correlated with each other with highly significant coefficients of correlation ranging between |0.80–0.88|.

However, a clear trend towards higher levels of NPM1 in grade III tumors when compared to grade I and II tumors was noted ( Table 1 , Fig. 1B ).

The hardness of the mild steel exhibited an increasing trend with impact angle.
