Although not statistically significant, there is an apparent trend towards a decrease in EPHB1 levels.

There was an apparent trend of increasing heritability with increasing parity.

There is an apparent trend towards less cell damage as measured by lactate dehydrogenase release in BAL of CDK inhibitor-treated mice but this did not reach statistical significance ( Figure 7e ).

Despite an apparent trend towards increased SAMHD1 abundance at seven and nine dpi, none of the changes was significant ( Fig. 4C ).

In general, all CS showed an apparent trend for a higher body weight, BMI and waist circumference when compared to the R patients.

fetida , none of the treatments in OECD soil had detectable statistically significant effects on mean mass, but there was an apparent trend towards a reduction at the 4-week stage in the 20% biochar treatments (Fig. 6 ).

As expected, the Fst values decrease as the urban sample size increase with an apparent trend to 0.

The pH T data set shows an apparent trend of increasing pH T values with increasing numbers of polycytidine tracks for homologous sequences within a single gene promoter.

(a) Time homogeneous processes and sampling bias cannot explain the late origin of gigantism It is well known that an apparent trend towards size increase (or decrease) through time could equally be the outcome of an actual bias in the direction of size evolution or owing to an unbiased process in which variance increases through time [ 20 , 46 , 47 ].

Expanding on the above concepts, an apparent trend is the delivery of group self-management education.

An apparent trend to lowering in prevalence by decade was evident.

After generation of individual exposure estimates based on the population PK models, the planned procedures for exposure–efficacy model development included graphical data exploration to assess whether there was an apparent trend between exposure measures and primary and key secondary efficacy endpoints.

Nonetheless, an apparent trend was observed whereby BKT had a higher Vmax than RBT or LKT.

Within each of the four groups of data segregated by membrane bending angles θ M , there was also an apparent trend towards higher membrane deflection d/L on wider gratings L .

An apparent trend for more respondents to report high rather than low levels of comfort/skill for mood disorders compared with social-emotional difficulties, may be attributable in part to the terminology used in the survey.

ATL cells showed an apparent trend to decrease nucleosome occupancy in the promotor region of the SGLT‐2 gene.

Also, the ATF3 levels in the xenograft tumors developed from the FADS1-KD cells are not significantly different from that of the control tumors, though an apparent trend can be observed (5 out of 7 FADS1-KD tumors demonstrated an elevated level of ATF3), which may be largely due to the potential sex-specific differences, tumor-specific extent of ER stress, and the small sample size.

There was an apparent trend towards a higher effect with increased disease severity.

There is an apparent trend in which interfacial deformations increase with increasing porosity of bone.

Binning industry-reported flares by flow rate and produced gas methane content, Figure b shows an apparent trend where flares with lower methane content gas were more likely to be detected.

Plotting the geometric means over time shows an apparent trend of increasing bromadiolone concentrations and decreasing brodifacoum after 2013 in both barred and great horned owls (Figure 7 ).

Although not statistically analysed due to the low volumes involved, our results demonstrate an apparent trend for those treated with peritoneal lavage to be admitted as a result of a confirmed intra-abdominal collection.

Moreover, test–retest reproducibility did not show an apparent trend relative to z , suggesting that variability between scans is not necessarily attributable to the zero‐filling approach.

Figure 1 E shows an apparent trend of intensity attenuation with the decrease of radioactivity of 68 Ga (the orange dashed circle showed the CL emitted at a radioactivity of 0.244 μCi of 68 Ga, captured by the 897 EMCCD).

curgensis, the response in CAT activity did not follow an apparent trend when exposed to increasing fly ash concentrations.
