“a slight trend”

Al 1100 showed a slight trend in lengthened deposition times in the V-t deposition curve with HNO 3 presoaking, while 6061 did not show any trends ( Figure S28 ).

First, there was a slight trend in favor of higher-income groups in terms of inequity in the use of HCBSs among older adults in China, while middle-income older adults benefited the most from HCBS utilization.

However, the expected increase in penetration efficacy for lower, finite doses was only seen as a slight trend, but was not significant.

Figure 4 reveals that, basically, the supernatant resembles the signal intensity of CSF, whereas the sediment rather shows a slight trend toward a time-dependent change in the signal intensity.

Although the difference was not statistically significant, the transaxillary approach showed a slight trend toward higher satisfaction.

A comparison across layers shows that deamidation values largely overlap, with a slight trend towards lower values (thus poorer preservation) deeper down the stratigraphic sequence.

melanoneura catches were similar in the morning and afternoon throughout the whole sampling period ( Figure 2 a) and only a slight trend of catching more emigrants in the morning was observed in these two years ( Figure 2 b).

Conversely, analyses of ‘Fruit and vegetables’ showed a slight trend towards earlier adoption of new criteria, which allowed higher HSR for this category.

The analysis of the subgroups performed as a function of the HbA1c ratio, shows instead that there is no statistically significant difference between the 2 subgroups of patients with DM (First subgroup range = HbA1c% 6–8%, second subgroup range = HbA1c% < 8), but there is only a slight trend regarding the MBL and PD indices in a pejorative sense for HbA1c% < 8.

There were no significant main effects, but there was a slight trend for a significant interaction effect on the distance traveled to reach the platform.

There was a slight trend towards decreased lactate levels in PCZ-treated samples compared to control in the combined group (154.5 vs 46.7 mlU/ml), but this failed to reach significance in the core (115.0 vs 62.6 mlU/ml, P > .99) and the periphery (194 vs 111.17 mlU/ml, P = .80).

3A , for both techniques, emulsification and nanoprecipitation, shown a slight trend to decrease the PDI values as increasing the concentration of PLGA.

Although there is a slight trend toward recovery in the pre-treated groups, these changes do not meet the threshold for statistical significance.

Due to the relatively small number of patients available in this single centre study, combined with the short follow- up interval of just two years, only a slight trend towards prolonged "survival" as defined above could be demonstrated.

Indeed, there is a slight trend for structures which do gain in hydrogen bonds to be less stable on average as the number of hydrogen bonds increases above 0.5 per molecule, though this is unlikely to be significant.

A phase II trial in severely brain injured patients reported a slight trend towards a better outcome in the CP-0127 treatment group (Marmarou et al., 1999 ).

Opioid consumption over 48 h showed no significant difference, but patients receiving PENG had a slight trend toward reduced use.

There was a slight trend towards lower preoperative depression score in the group of “Very Satisfied” patients, but the difference was only minor and non-significant.

However, when PM-treated cultures were treated with TLR ligands, there was a slight trend towards an increase in cells with depleted thiol levels as compared to the respective PM dose, but differences were not significant.

5A and B ; however, there is a slight trend from sharper slopes on the left side of the scatter plots to slower slopes on the right side of the plots across spinal cord levels (blue to green markers) for RF (midline configurations), VL (unilateral configurations) and TA, MG, and SOL (both midline and unilateral configurations).

Based on former publications [ 23 ] together with the low AEA concentrations in the p62 KO amygdala, we found, against our expectations, signs of less freezing and a slight trend toward increased exploratory behavior in p62 KO animals.

V-ATPase Inhibition Increases HIF-1α Protein Level, AMPK Activity and Alters Autophagic Flux Consistent with previous work [ 42 ], ConA treatment strongly increased HIF-1α protein in both Panc-1 and BxPC3 cells ( Figure 4 A–C), while only a slight trend in the same direction was seen upon a3 KD ( Figure 4 D–F).

A slight trend towards increased retention in the first 5 mm of the membrane compared to the bottom section was observed, as frequently seen in other porous media.

However, it should be noted that in the placebo group there was a slight trend towards higher LApeak after HIIT training (12.8 ± 2.7 mmol/l) compared to baseline (12.1 ± 2.8 mmol/l), Table 3 .

There was a slight trend for some questions over time: “Easy to use” improved from the first to the second to the third questionnaire, but “got used to it” got a slightly poorer rating at the second and third times.
