Excerpts

Generally, highly significant correlations were observed between SPR-measured affinity and total IgG (estimated by ELISA) for the PfRh2 protein from month to month throughout the study period (Table 1 ).

Increasing maternal pre-pregnant BMI showed a suggestive association with lower iron stores, of borderline significance, whereas other maternal factors not associated with iron biomarkers in cord samples (Supplementary Table S5 ).

However, both a decreasing trend in poleward heat transport 30 , and increasing poleward heat transport 13 have been reported indicating that determining the strength of external forcing in the Arctic requires further investigation.

In these regions, areas characterized by highly significant reductions in NPP cover 7,690 km 2 , encompassing 3.91% of total grassland area, while zones characterized by significant decreases encompass 1,260 km 2 (0.68% of total area).

1 shows that a highly significant positive linear correlation was present between the two models for both the maximum fertilization rate and the economic fertilization rate for N, P and K, which indicates that the new model has good inheritance and reliability with the recommended fertilization rate.

7a , n MGs exhibits an increasing trend over the temperature, assuming values ranging from 1.34 to 1.414, with maximum slope of about 0.0075 RIU/°C at ~23 °C.

For ft , the force did not change from pre to post (F 1,10 = 3.2 p = 0.105 TIME ), and the change in force from set to set showed a trend, but it was not significant (F 3,30 = 3.7 ε = 0.5 p = 0.06 SET ).

We note that there is a weak trend of the decrease in choice accuracy before the shutter closure in FC in difficult trials (compare accuracies before the shutter closure in Fig. 5 and those in 3C in Fig. 2 ).

Understanding factors that regulate OPC differentiation is highly significant since although many years of translational research have generated immunomodulatory drugs to treat MS, there are still no clinically approved treatment strategies to promote myelin repair.

Thus, 58 of the 60 comparisons were statistically highly significant, and an additional one of the 60 comparisons was statistically significant.

However, the percentages of fine particles presented an obvious trend of rising, with 59.46% detected in 0.1 WS, 66.35% found in 1.5 WS and 75.62% collected in 3.0 WS, respectively.

Moreover, over the entire data-set, there was only a marginally non-significant tendency for males to show higher levels of aggression and courtship in low, than high, salinity.

We calculated the AUC Dyn and no significant differences were detected in the dynamic acquisition during the infusion but there seemed to be a clear trend toward a more pronounced delivery of glucose in wild-type mice than transgenic mice.

Based on the temporal evolution of drought areal extent during 1950–2015, we find a significant increasing trend for soil moisture droughts and a decreasing trend for meteorological droughts for a number of SDI exceedance probability classes (Fig. 3 ).

However, since the correlations between amygdala volume and arousal ratings showed a negative trend across both designs, future studies with increased sample size might further investigate the strength of the relation between structural changes of the amygdala and cognitive arousal measures.

Our results showed that there was an increasing trend of soil MBC with the succession of vegetation community (Table 3 ).

With vegetation succession, MBC and DOC concentrations showed a positive trend, and activities of soil urease, catalase, invertase and alkaline phosphatase increased.

S2b ), whereas previously we found a significant effect on growth only and a positive trend for calcification (Fig. 2c–f ).

The annual TB incidence generally presented a decreasing trend; nevertheless, a noticeable rebound was discerned from 2013 to 2015 (Fig. 2 ).

Examination of the treated cells showed a trend that mitochondria and organelles containing electron dense materials were distributed towards the surface of the cell.

The sheath thickness, which was estimated by both the electric circuit model and experimental T e images, shows an increasing trend with decreasing pressure.

This compaction of Palaeogene and Neogene sediments shows an increasing trend from the southern part of the study area towards the northwest, with maximum compaction below the thickest accumulations of Quaternary sediments 53 .

2 , the plot of the node degree distribution showed a decreasing trend demonstrating that our network has scale free property indicating that “riches get richer” 20 , 22 – 26 .

This finding is also confirmed by the plot related to stress centrality where a great number of nodes is traversed by a high number of shortest paths and by the closeness centrality that has an increasing trend.

RGN-259 showed a trend toward a significant dose-dependent effect on the expression of all inflammatory factors.
