“a slight trend”

However, there was a slight trend of increasing grasshopper abundance in managed meadows.

The analysis of the distribution of the QUNT factors showed no sex-related differences and a slight trend towards higher scores at the “social withdrawal” and “abstraction from reality” items in men.

In addition, the OS showed a slight trend towards superiority of SRT with chemo over SRT without chemo, although these differences were not statistically significant ( p = 0.35).

A slight trend towards lower SLA was found in only one of five species, but δ 13 C values of most species were indeed more positive in deciduous tree crowns.

In female mice, there was a slight trend toward increased expression, particularly for Tbr1 and Creb1 , but it was not statistically significant (Fig. 1 ).

There was a slight trend suggesting that pre-treatment of the cytostatics with up to 10 s of CPP might lead to a further reduction in the cell viability.

A slight trend can be observed in the solution spectra between the branched side chain variants, wherein the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) absorbance feature, located around 600 nm, appears to decrease in intensity with respect to the normalized π–π * feature at 400 nm when increasing side chain length.

To our knowledge, these n-3 supplementation-mediated effects on the spatial learning and neuroinflammation of young mice have not been described before in the few studies that have conducted similar comparisons [ 73 , 116 ] except one, in which a slight trend was observed in the 5–6th training day in a Morris water maze in n-3-supplemented 6-months-old wild type animals [ 117 ].

Only a slight trend was found for the chemical condition PEA high concentration .

As shown in Table 2 , there was a slight trend toward fewer deaths within the first seven days after the initiation of treatment for the CytoSorb group.

We observed a slight trend towards lower PTH rates in the TE mic group but the differences did not reach statistical significance.

In the stimulation with plasmas containing Lp(a) we observed a slight trend towards increased expression of IL-8 but note the variability in the response to different plasmas, that may have obscured an increase.

PBMC-derived 4X also displayed a slight trend toward increased sensitivity (1- to 2-fold) to a variety of bNAbs, with the notable exception of VRC-CH31, to which it was 3-fold more resistant ( Figures S3 and S4 ).

The mutants showed a slight trend towards increased sensitivity to H 2 O 2 compared to WT strains, which was not statistically significant, and no change in sensitivity to CHP compared to WT.

These tumors are largely resistant to calcitriol with only a slight trend towards smaller growth visible.

Moreover, the chemotaxis assay showed a slight trend of reduced neutrophil migration towards the IA-treated plasma of patients with MS.

Blood variables of interest remained unchanged or showed some slight improvements during the treatment period, concerning most variables with no obvious differences between the two groups; insulin showed a slight trend to decrease in the wIRA group and to increase in the control group.

If one controls the social status variables there seems to be a slight trend to overweight over time.

In fact, the prevalence of several comorbidities (cardiovascular, nephropathy, peripheral vascular disease and cerebrovascular) showed a slight trend of decreasing as BMI increased, and mean DCSI score was lower in each sequentially higher BMI category.

In contrast, reduced plasticity of LMA (R2 = 0.17, Figure 4G ) suggests a slight trend towards a decrease in high planting density in more recently released genotypes, an indication of plant-plant cooperation.

Interestingly, although not statistically significant, the M&RIE receiver showed a slight trend toward better performance in the background noise subscale. 3.3.

Of these 3 factors, the presence of sensory symptoms showed a slight trend towards neuropathic abnormalities, but without reaching statistical significance.

One striking observation is that for samples with higher T g values, both models underestimate the experimental T g values, whereas for T g values below about 310 K a slight trend to overestimation is observed.

32 Furthermore, we identified 12 different combinations of anesthetic substances, with a slight trend toward inhaled anesthetic agents.

Interestingly, while genes involved in proliferation showed a slight trend toward increased expression from Day 5, we detected the contrary for genes involved in migration, which showed higher expression levels at 3 dpf and lower expression levels from 5 dpf (Figure 4 ).
