Excerpts

With the exception of the central Siberian study area, a relatively small proportion of lakes in each area showed a significant trend for the break-up period (e.g., central Siberia BUS, 33%; northeast Siberia BUS, 5%; see Table 1 ).

*P < 0.05 was considered significant, **P < 0.01 was considered highly significant; Student t-test is used throughout.

The FL exhibited a highly significant positive correlation with the FS (0.86**), FU (0.76**) and FE (0.74**), whereas several negative correlations were observed between the FM and the other four traits ( Table S2 ).

Conclusion Understanding the controls on archaeal community structure may be significant in predicting the effects which archaea can potentially have in providing labile nitrogen for developing ecosystems as climate warming occurs.

Highly significant differences in microbial community composition were observed in the phototrophic species C. foliascens and C. orientalis over time (i.e., from t = 0 until the end of the experimental period) ( Table 3A ).

Macrophage-inducible C-type lectin (Mincle) transcripts (Clec4e) were noted in many of the most highly significant innate biofunctions for both CAF01 (brown module) and GLA-SE (red module) ( Supplementary Table 1 ).

2a–c ), a strong trend for upregulation that did not reach significance ( Fig. 2a,b - gray circles in bottom right quadrant) was evident.

We found an increasing trend in the heart rate of short sleepers (≤7 h/night) but without statistical significance.

A decreasing trend of N-P-N amplitude appeared as the flash intensities decreased.

The basal area per unit land area did not present a significant trend; however, the species diversity of woody plants decreased linearly towards the village boundary, which caused a loss of individual density because of severe declines in small saplings compared with adult trees and large saplings in proximity to the village.

Nevertheless, highly significant enrichment in GO terms associated with light stimulus response and the phototransduction pathways (see Supplementary Table S3 for details) were found in the suite of genes/isotopes identified as significantly up-regulated in M. niger relative to P. microdon .

Based on these preliminary results, HR-pQCT data could offer some biomechanical explanation for the highly significant role shown for (wrist) cortical bone structure in the determination of (vertebral body) strength.

With an increase in Re C number to 98, a decreasing trend can be seen in the focusing width.

This was not significant when viewing the positive attention stimuli, but the p value was approaching significance ( Mdn = 2.57 vs.

In contrast, most chemokine levels in the placentas showed an increasing trend in the MIUH group.

A clear trend of micropore size evolution with the irradiation time cannot be distinguished, for this reason CO 2 adsorption was performed taking into consideration that CO 2 is more suitable molecule for the determination of micropores smaller than 1 nm.

Further adjustment for BMI (model 2), the inverse association between height and hypertension risk was similarly found with a significant trend (the highest vs shortest quartile: OR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.71, 0.88 for men, OR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.78, 0.94 for women; P for trend <0.001).

Next, we selected the top 10 pathways with highly significant levels, as shown in Fig. 4 .

A significant trend for increased recurrence risk with increasing number of risk genotypes was observed ( P trend < 0.001); compared with patients in the low-risk group, those in the medium-risk and high-risk groups had approximately 3- and 11-fold increased risks of recurrence, respectively (aHR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.7–4.2 and aHR, 10.9; 95% CI, 6.8–17.4, respectively).

IT injections of 2 μg/10 μl ProTX-II produced a highly significant reduction in phase I and phase II flinching compared to vehicle treated rats ( Fig. 1 ) without any severe effect on motor function ( Supplementary Table 1 ).

Hence, using extremely significant markers in one sample to construct a genetic risk model to apply to other samples might not produce good prediction accuracy.

The association remained highly significant even after adjusting for conventional risk factors and baseline RHR.

14 , who noted that an obvious trend of biomass did not occur in conjunction with temperate secondary broadleaved forest conversion into bamboo forest.

It is seen that the open-circuit voltage versus temperature shows an interesting trend: the measured open-circuit voltage increases with decreasing the temperature and then starts to saturate or even decrease.

However, choline concentrations in the intervention group showed a trend to higher concentrations and higher between-individuals variability.
