Excerpts

Recombination rates showed a clear trend, with the highest rates towards the end of chromosomes and rates near zero around the centromere region.

This study presents a rare example of empirical evidence of a positive trend in reproduction and survival for a cetacean population using a Marine Protected Area. status released display-pdf yes is-olf no is-manuscript no is-preprint no is-journal-matter no is-scanned no is-retracted no Received 2018 Oct 5; Accepted 2018 Dec 21; Collection date 2019.

Thus, if the time series exhibits a significant trend over a long time, as we might expect for the postseismic deformation, the filtering might introduce spurious effects.

Expression of OCT4 in hFFs showed a trend similar to that observed analysing NANOG expression (Fig. 5C ).

D-lactate, L-lactate and lactic acid levels did not differ significantly between the groups (p = 0.0703, p = 0.2711 and p = 0.0690, respectively), although the sample size was small and the differences in D-lactate and lactic acid concentrations approached significance.

Many non-Cartesian trajectories can also improve parallel imaging without NLGs or additional hardware, yet the presented work is highly significant for several reasons.

Conversely, the long-chain metabolite α-13′-OH and its isomer M3 showed a trend toward a decrease after treatment; the opposite was found in the placebo group that showed increased levels of α-13′-COOH at the end of the study (Table 3 ).

All correlations were large and highly significant (r = 0.94, 0.9, 0.91, 0.89, 0.47 for likelihood, x-position, y-position, area and aspect ratio respectively between odd- and even-numbered subjects for cars; r = 0.87, 0.79, 0.96, 0.86 & 0.36 for people; p < 0.00005 for all correlations).

Only the levels of tph2 were significantly reduced, while the two other isoforms showed a trend towards reduction.

Examination of protein extracts from the hearts of mixed background mice after TAC revealed a trend towards increased expression of many ER stress-activated proteins and chaperones such as binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP), calreticulin, hypoxia up-regulated protein 1 (Hyou1), arginine-rich, mutated in early-stage tumors (ARMET), protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), stromal cell derived factor 2 like 1 (Sdf2l1), as previously described by us 2 , and gene-deleted mice lacking Atf6 or Atf6b showed a trend towards reduced expression of some of these ER stress responsive proteins (Fig. 1e ).

These results showed that, between all size groups, one significant difference was apparent between size classes A and B (see methods section).

This result is marginally significant using a two-tailed test.

In addition, although they showed a decreasing trend in their chlorophyll a and total protein content, the lipid content was very similar to the Control N replete culture, indicating that lipid accumulation was not stimulated, at least for the duration of the experiment.

The volume evolution of band structure shows an increasing trend of energy band gap with volume.

There were highly significant differences between NOL-1 and NOL-4 among SFH, TSH, CSF and TCS in japonica with -log( P ) values of 2.35, 3.15, 3.36 and 5.34, respectively (Fig. 3c ).

We re-analyzed the data of ALDH2-alcohol interaction effect on esophageal cancer to reinterpret marginally significant ALDH2 and alcohol consumption on the basis of their synergistic effects (Fig. 4 ).

There was a highly significant interaction between seasonal and diel cycles at two sites around deep channels, where occurrence was diurnal in summer but became nocturnal in autumn.

As the system moves towards the bifurcation, both the spatial variance and the spatial correlation increase, while the spatial skewness does not have an obvious trend.

Over the past century, there was a significant trend of increasing temperature of about 1 °C, most pronounced in the decades after 1990, whereas annual precipitation and drought indices fluctuated without significant long term trends (Supplementary Fig.

RT-qPCR analysis of pstS gene transcription showed a trend similar to the relative abundance (R 2 , 0.25), as copy numbers were lower in early June and higher in mid-June (Fig.

Rather, a clear trend of decrease in velocity and amplitude, as well as an increase in width, was observed 53 , 54 .

However, since the magnitude of [ 18 F]FDG changes over time is of borderline significance and the potential NRG effect on [ 18 F]FDG has not yet been explored, further research in this field is needed.

The serum level of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) showed a decreasing trend and was lowest in the AVR-25 + imipenem treated group when compared to CLP group.

We considered cytokines with an uncorrected p-value < 0.05 that did not reach the q-value < 0.05 to be borderline significant and these were included in comparisons with fatty acids.

A consistent explanation for the increasing correlation of the MJO amplitude with the QBO since ~1960 is an increasing trend of the MJO amplitude during QBOE, and possibly a decreasing trend in MJO amplitude during QBOW.
