1c , which reveals an increasing trend for the position from 2.6643 ± 0.0002 Å −1 to 2.6692 ± 0.0002 Å −1 with decreasing temperature from 308 K to 98 K ( Fig. 1d ).

ADA and DPP-IV (and sCD26 nearly significant) were negatively correlated with glucose and pH only in BPE (data not shown).

A further selection of the OTUs with the lowest p-values showed 6 taxa with a clear decreasing trend from NAG to IM to GC (2 TM7, 2 Porphyromonas sp , Neisseria sp and Streptococcus sinensis ), and 2 with an increasing trend ( Lactobacillus coleohominis and Lachnospiraceae).

Concerning changes in the microbiota, we found evidence of a gradual change in patients from NAG to IM to GC, bacterial diversity showed a trend to diminish from NAG to IM to GC, and was significantly higher in NAG than in GC patients.

for the first time demonstrated that there was a highly significant association of ApoE ε4 allele and late-onset familial AD 39 .

Their shapes depend on the function considered and show an increasing trend with the log function, and an increasing and then decreasing trend with the quadratic function.

Generally, the SOC also showed an increasing trend with increasing duration after CCF.

P–value < 0.05 was considered nominally significant.

Statistical inferences drawn from our RT-qPCR gene expression analysis indicated that genes in RNA transport pathways, especially in NPC and SMN complexes, were highly significant and involved in maize resistance.

Although As concentration levels in the plants are very much different between soils the P-fertilization has a highly significant influence on As concentrations in aboveground plant parts on both soils ( Table S2 ).

But it has also been shown that this is likely to be significant only when providing As(V) in solution 38 .

In photodoped devices interfacial recombination process may be significant enabling devices to achieve high responsivity and high speed operation, simultaneously 52 .

In addition, all the curves exhibit an increasing trend and the two blue curves seemingly decrease after w N ≈ 2000.

Although our qRT-PCR analysis revealed highly significant difference in the expression of C/EBPα transcript between CD34 high and CD34 int cells on one end and CD34 neg and CD34 low cells on the other end, there was no significant difference in the expression of C/EBPα protein between all EML CD34 cell subsets ( Fig. 3 ).

But only a non-physiological metabolic provocation (intravenous GTT) led to the group-specific detection of slightly significant differences in some phospholipids levels 16 .

A P-value < 0.05 (*) was deemed significant, P < 0.01(**) very significant and a P < 0.001 (***) highly significant, as stated in the figure legends.

However, from ~4.3 to 2.7 Ma, the χ ARM and χ ARM /SIRM records show increasing trends while the χ ARM /χ LF record shows a decreasing trend.

In this case, χ ARM /SIRM and χ ARM will have an increasing trend, controlled dominantly by the effects of increasing precipitation ( Fig. 2d, 2f and Table 1 ), while χ ARM /χ LF will have a decreasing trend, attributed to the dominant effects of decreasing temperature ( Fig. 2a and Table 1 ).

A decreasing trend in global methylation levels according to deposition date shows in-situ de-methylation of 5-methylcytosine, which can be described as a diagenetic process.

The present study showed that serum homocysteine levels in elderly male patients showed a marked and highly significant association with carotid RI.

There exists a large spatiotemporal variability in the daily rainfall; whereas the δ 18 O values of rain are significantly coherent at all the stations (linear cross-correlation coefficients of rain in different stations are mostly insignificant, while those of δ 18 O of rain between stations are highly significant, as shown in supplementary Table 1 ).

However, this point needs further investigation because the correlations were only marginally significant.

Changes in cloud cover showed a decreasing trend 41 , implying an increasing trend of R s .

For rs238406, however, we found a statistically significant trend for the allele G → T effect on ERCC2 mRNA expression in Europeans ( P trend = 0.011) but a borderline significance in CHB ( P trend = 0.098).

In the present study, we also found a significant trend for the rs13181 allele T → G effect on ERCC2 transcript expression levels in different ethnic populations, indicating that the ERCC2 rs13181 SNP may be a underlying genetic determinant of esophageal cancer risk.
