“a weak trend”

A weak trend was noted that biconcave VDs were more common among females than among males ( Figure 6B ).

There is a weak trend for independence of motion to increase with increasing genomic distance (Fig. 4d ).

4.3 Genetic parameters are not correlated with contemporary population density Neither observed heterozygosity nor the inbreeding coefficient was significantly correlated with contemporary population densities (Figure 5 ), although there was a weak trend suggesting that populations with higher observed heterozygosity in the 1990s have higher densities at present.

There is only a weak trend toward higher richness with more publications (fig.

There was a weak trend for the reduced ElPiGraph version to produce more stars, which in most cases could be matched to the ground truth star positions.

We did not observe consistent differences in the expression of these factors between haploids and diploids across conditions, except for a weak trend of lower expression of BiP in haploids than in diploids ( Figs. 3 B and also 4 ).

A larger cell typically has higher recovery, but this is a weak trend, with large variations in recovery between cells of similar size.

Seventy-six percent of women either remained or were rendered dry to mechanical provocation following VPVR, with a weak trend in favour of the augmentation group (Table 4b ).

In the adult group, no substantial differences between the distraction effects in the novel and repeated condition could be observed—and only a weak trend was observable across individuals (63% with higher distraction effects in the novel condition).

The other miRs remained either unchanged or showed a weak trend to be elevated ( S4 Fig ).

EGFR knockdown in DU145 cells resulted in a low, but significant, increase in DHRS7 mRNA expression and a weak trend increase in protein expression.

Based on our current data, we cannot exclude a weak trend for a more severe presentation of TBE and, somewhat counterintuitively, higher lymphocytic pleocytosis in the wt/ Δ32 heterozygotes.

There was a weak trend of positive correlation of effective dose with gene expression, ROS, and the pool of endpoints fold changes (Fig. 4 , Supplemental Table 3).

However, there is only a weak trend (rs = −0.20).

Dual-harm was not sex-differentiated, although there was a weak trend indicating that males had a higher risk of being in the dual-harm group than females.

In addition we found that there was a trend for less benefit from CSM among those with higher salivary cortisol levels and a weak trend for more benefit from CSM among those with higher production of IL-10 by unstimulated PBMCs.

In univariate analysis, this overexpression showed only a weak trend with survival but some studies have drawn similar conclusions [ 31 , 46 ].

Statistics applied to detect departures from neutrality reveal a weak trend toward positive values in A. gambiae and A. coluzzii (and hybrids) from “Far-West”, whereas negative values were scored in both species from West and Central Africa (significant in A. gambiae : D* = −2.583, F* = −2.686, and A. coluzzi : D* = −2.848, F* = −2.922) as well as in A. gambiae from Rwanda, suggesting the influence of different selective pressures and/or demographic histories in populations from different geographic areas.

Indeed, one study measuring endo-lysosomal proteins in the CSF of controls and AD patients noted a weak trend towards increased abundances in prodromal AD [ 63 ].

Neither concentration of 100 μM Amb significantly altered MTR, although there was a weak trend towards an increase.

Our study revealed no differences in gonopodial meristics between fragmentation regimes other than a weak trend for fewer serrae in fragmented tidal creeks.

There was a weak trend, but no significant association, between a CPS of 10 or higher and longer PFS ( Figure 1B ).

In control crosses, in which two wild-type males were sequentially mated to hermaphrodites, progeny numbers from the first and second male were variable, but no consistent bias was observed, other than a weak trend in which non- mIs11 males seemed to be slightly favored over mIs11 -containing males ( Figure 2A , Figure 2—figure supplement 1 ).

concluded that a weak trend for better outcomes was observed in patients undergoing intrapleural fibrinolysis after medical thoracoscopy compared with those who underwent medical thoracoscopy only ( 16 ).

Application rates indicated a weak trend towards a small increase in N applied and no change in P application over time.
