In general, our results indicate an increasing trend in Δn for higher As-content in the dilute-As GaNAs alloy.

found that the western part of North China Plain, Loess Plateau, Sichuan Basin and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau had a marked trend of drying from 1961 to 2012 39 .

In conclusion, the overall frequencies of severe drought in the whole country showed an increasing trend.

Although the 6-month score was not statistically different from the 4-month score, a decreasing trend could still be found.

2 , a clear trend can be identified for the number of available states, whereas no particular trend on particular dependence can be observed.

In the present analysis of findings obtained in patients with AD, we discovered a highly significant effect of the GLP-1 analog liraglutide on the blood-brain glucose transport capacity.

No significant molecular alterations or a clear trend for clinical outcome was observed for these genes in ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma, esophagus-stomach cancer or non-small squamous cell carcinoma.

We showed that ALS patients (n = 40) displayed a highly significant specific CSF lipidomic signature compared to controls (n = 45).

These minor increases in nutrient intakes occurred in parallel with a lack of an overall increase in height, with many individual countries, mostly African, even exhibiting a decreasing trend in height (Fig. 7 ).

However, in participants not exposed to CRT, the relative risk for pre-hypertension and hypertension was close to significance (RR = 1.93, 95% CI 0.96–3.88).

Also at EPT participant showed a trend of reduced ML BoS, but values did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.054).

Following differentiation, the neurospheres cultured in the presence of 1 mM histamine showed a trend towards more neuronal lineage differentiation (control: 24.8 ± 4.2 vs 1 mM histamine: 29.7 ± 5.3% β-III-tubulin + neurons), whereas the neurospheres grown in the presence of both chlorpheniramine and cimetidine generated significantly fewer neurons upon differentiation (chlorpheniramine: 6.7 ± 2.2 and cimetidine: 8.6 ± 2.2% β-III-tubulin + neurons, p < 0.05; Fig. 6C ).

In the MRB, the areas of dryland, residential land and meadow were significantly increased over the last 40 years while the areas of the grassland, sparse grassland, sparse shrub and glacier (or permanent snow) land cover exhibited a decreasing trend (Fig. 3 ).

The reclamation rates were estimated at 9.5% in 1976 and 21.8% in 2015 and the comprehensive index of land use degree shows an increasing trend in the MRB.

Among women, waist circumference was positively related to colorectal cancer risk, although this relationship did not quite reach statistical significance (Table 3 ).

Non-cancerous areas also showed a trend toward reduced expression of E-cadherin in long-DM compared to non-DM and short-DM which exhibited strongly positive reaction to E-cadherin.

Despite reductions in anthropogenic aerosol precursor gas emissions, it is worthy of note that primary aerosol emissions exhibit a significant trend only in the NW, GPu, and MW (Fig. 5 ), and that biogenic VOC, dust, and wildfire emissions exert a substantial impact on aerosol burdens and optical properties 40 , 41 .

Further ammonia (NH 3 ) emissions exhibit a negative trend in all regions except the MW and NE, and volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions exhibit a negative trend in all regions except the NW and SE (Figure 5) 36 .

τ b > 0 indicates a positive trend and τ b < 0 indicates a negative trend.

However the trace shows a slightly increasing trend after the coda.

However, for other microorganism pairs a clear trend was not observed.

However, the overall Rüger area fell slightly short of significance (8–15 Hz, p < 0.05/2 44.44%, p < 0.05/31.11%).

We also considered associations within the NREM Rüger area which fell short of significance because of the strong absolute effect sizes and an interest in the discovery of sexually dimorphic effects.

2(b) , their effects are quite significant on both of the magnetic and transport properties.

Furthermore, hypoxia-induced factor 1α (HIF-1α) gene expression showed a strong trend for progressive elevation after the dietary challenge in SR-B1 −/− /ApoER61 h/h mice 9 .
