Vibration perception thresholds Sole of the foot VPTs at all three sites in the sole of the foot showed a clear trend, i.e. unnecessary with p-values, with increasing thresholds at higher frequencies, but with no differences between girls and boys (Tables 2 , 3 and 4 and Fig. 2 ).
Indeed, it is not easy to note a clear trend of either increase or decrease in the values of WPI, especially at March and April.
For longlines, a weakly significant effect of mangrove proximity was detected ( Table 4 ), however the explained deviance of 4% indicated that the influence of this variable was negligible.
This effect has a greater impact on dynamic hyperinflation which is reflected in the improvements in exercise capacity.[ 24 ] As with the 6MWD, there was a small trend back towards baseline in the reduction in RV and increase in FEV 1 , but values remained statistically and clinically significantly better than baseline 360 days post final treatment.
2092 vs 2043), comparing the observed numbers in areas within a high density cluster compared to areas outside the clusters may be significant biologically and would be beneficial in guiding the geographical focus of future studies investigating reasons for observed spatial patterns.
Results reveal that BST-2 mRNA expression is inversely correlated to its DNA methylation status ( Fig 2A ) with a highly significant r 2 value of -0.720.
The whole-brain analysis revealed two highly significant clusters where patients had increased activity compared to healthy controls, which include the midbrain and superior frontal regions.
There was also an increasing trend of PCa detection in men with a BMI ≥18.5 kg/m 2 , while the trend was inverted when the BMI was lower than 18.5 kg/m 2 .
Mann-Whitney test proved a highly significant increase (all p-values less than 2.22 x 10–15, Bonferroni corrected, 10 tests) in 5’UTR lengths in T . gondii and N . caninum against the model eukaryotes. 3’UTRs were similar to those in humans but longer than those in other eukaryotes.
REM sleep latency decreased with increasing HbA1c with a significant trend (p value for trend is 0.004).
Similarly, protein levels of myogenin also showed a trend of higher levels starting from day 3 of differentiation (Fig 1C and 1D ).
However, those genes that are identified as being marginally significant by only one method should be carefully double-checked before being classified.
The second marginally significant window involves a similar scenario where RG35 is nested within the clade of French lines, sister to the French line FR229 ( S9 Fig ).
The person-specific effects were found to be highly significant.
X OM exhibited a highly significant and negative correlation with 4’-demethylpodophyllotoxin (R = –0.968), whereas the X JMT demonstrated significant and positive correlation (R = 0.953).
However, the effect of fire severity on mean mass loss (control) was not significant; instead, there was a positive trend with fire severity for leaf mass loss (control) in both whole and best fit models ( Table 2 , Fig 3b ).
Previous studies showed that cellulose contained in straw usually finished decomposing just at the beginning of the straw returning [ 65 , 66 , 67 ] and the β-cellobiosidase activity showed a trend of rapidly increased activity and relatively stable activity at first, but tended to significantly decrease after 60 days of straw returning [ 65 ].
The modest significance level might be due to the low number of matching groups.
SC100 had a highly significant effect on mean longevity.
The current study of wheat straw incorporation in a dryland farming region (Heyang) showed that, compared with the application of chemical fertilizer alone, straw incorporation had a highly significant effect on the available nutrient contents in the 0–40 cm soil layer, especially that in the top soil layer (0–20 cm).
We further examined the publicly available microarray dataset ( GSE35602 ), in which miRNA expression profiles of micro-dissected colon cancer stromal and epithelial tissues were analyzed, demonstrating a clear trend of higher miR-34b and -34c expression in cancer stroma ( S4 Fig ).
The results above indicate: (1) the male subjects have larger diameters and length of the tracheobronchial tree, while the the female subjects have larger main stem bronchial angles and subcarinal angles; (2) there is a strong positive correlation between the average tracheal length and body height, and there is also a positive trend between age and AP-mcTD; (3) the large individual variations in the parameters relating to the tracheal dimension precluded a simple math equation capable of predicting TL, AP-mcTD, Pe-RBD and Pe-LBD.
While many of the genes in this pathway were only modestly affected, those effects were individually highly significant and when taken together as a pathway it was the most significantly affected process with P = 1.9e-46 ( S5 Table ).
FHL1 levels in the severe line show a strong trend towards still being elevated at 24 weeks, although this difference is not statistically significant (P = 0.10), perhaps due to greater variability in the levels in the severe line.
FHL2 levels also showed a trend towards increased levels at 24 weeks compared to 3 weeks, though this difference was not statistically significant.
