While seawater bacterial communities showed this predicted pattern of higher diversity at lower latitudes, fish hindgut communities demonstrated a weak trend in the opposite direction, and no patterns were detected in sediment communities.
longifolia individuals, but indicated a weak trend towards 15 N enrichment in the neighbourhood of very large canopies, which accounted for approximately 1‰ increase (Fig. 3b ).
As the trends in the NH–SH ASR and OLR differences correspond to radiative heating and cooling of the NH relative to the SH, respectively, they largely offset one other, resulting in a weak trend in the NH–SH NET difference (0.14 ± 0.21 Wm –2 dec –1 ; Table 1 ).
Interestingly, a study by Siegel found that pets had an effect in mediating the relationship between AIDS diagnosis and depression and that there was a weak trend towards dogs being more successful in this role than cats [ 33 ].
When the index does not exhibit a clear trend or shows a weak trend, outliers can be intuitively identified using the mean and standard deviation, corresponding to significant expansion in marginal areas.
Phylogeny-based correlation analyses indicated only a weak trend for solitary species to be cryptic, and for gregarious ones to be conspicuous.
We found that on baseline, PCD sputum neutrophils showed a weak trend towards a higher cellular content of F-actin as compared to blood neutrophils (Fig. 5 A).
Furthermore, in this study, the cases with decreased Bax expression from primary tumors to the corresponding metastases showed a more infiltrative growth pattern, more distant metastases, and a weak trend toward poor prognosis, indicating the involvement of Bax expression in tumor differentiation and metastatic progression.
First, we observed a weak trend of reduced re-pairing frequency during the first days (d1–d7) of re-pairing compared with single-gene RNAi or the (untreated) control group ( Supplementary Figure S6B ).
There was no apparent distinction between fynbos species and IAP species in terms of their flammability, although there was a weak trend of IAPs burning at higher intensities than fynbos and thicket species.
In the group of glycerides, no significant alterations were observed; there was only a weak trend of higher TG levels in wildtype samples (Table S4 ).
Although there was a weak trend toward the diabetic group having a greater postprandial GLP-1 response, there was considerable heterogeneity in the AUC among the subjects and no correlation between this measure and insulin secretion or the magnitude of insulin suppression by GLP-1 receptor blockade.
The marginal tendency of home range size decrease was identified for carnivores and rodents, while a weak trend of home range increase was observed in ungulates.
Similar to the situation for the xylose conformers, a weak trend of increasing DFT energies with the BOSS/CREST predicted counterparts emerges, as shown in Figure 4 .
There is a weak trend when using all of the data for the MFSP against the fermentable carbohydrate mass fraction overall.
A statistically significant difference was found only for the duration of the sensors placed on the Fridge Door and the Food Cabinet in Task 3 – Snack Preparation, while a weak trend was observed for the Fridge Door sensor in Task 1 – Meal Preparation ( Table 5 ).
[ 20 ] found that a weak trend for regional ADC decline was shown in all regions which didn’t reach statistical significance with brain development.
(2012a) , report small regions of divergence hitch-hiking in several species, suggesting that there may be at least a weak trend for an accumulation of divergent sites.
A weak trend also shows thinner cartilage in the dorsal ulnar (0.41 ± 0.12 mm) region of the trapezium in advanced-stage OA TMC joints compared to the younger (0.66 ± 0.09 mm, P = 0.088) and elder (0.66 ± 0.08 mm, P = 0.086) healthy/early-stage OA TMC joints, as well as in the volar radial (0.47 ± 0.05 mm) region of the trapezium in advanced-stage OA specimens when compared to the elder healthy/early-stage OA group (0.86 ± 0.08 mm, P = 0.083) (Fig. 3 ).
In a 9-year observational study of RRMS patients with higher serum and CSF NfL levels, only a weak trend of worsening, on only one of the applied tests (the California Verbal Learning Test-II; CVLT-II), was reported [ 88 ].
In full-heritage Pima subjects <18 years of age who had at least one non-diabetic exam and who then subsequently developed T2DM (Model 1), there was a weak trend that men, not women, with T allele were heavier, and genotype*gender interaction was borderline significant; however no significant gender interaction was observed in all full-heritage Pimas for all recorded BMI exams (Model 2) ( Table S1 ).
Neuronal-specific EZH2 knockout exhibited only a weak trend toward improvement in gut microbiota—mediated anxiety-like behaviors, suggesting a potential, albeit limited, link between EZH2 and anxiety phenotypes.
However, the choice of platform was insignificant and only those trials located in SMD showed a weak trend of increased citations.
Application rates indicated a weak trend towards a small increase in N applied and no change in P application over time.
There was a weak trend, but no significant association, between a CPS of 10 or higher and longer PFS ( Figure 1B ).
