Excerpts

For all the studied minor crops the potential yields attainable in the field conditions had an increasing trend, although some interannual variation occurred (Figs 2 and 3 ).

Interannual variation in single grain weight and grain protein concentration was high ( Fig 5 ), but there was a clear trend of increased grain size in winter cereals with a concomitant slight decline in grain protein concentration.

In contrast, Camilla et al[ 40 ], examined adults and children with IgA and found a marginally significant correlation between percent Gd-IgA1/IgA and contemporaneous urinary protein/creatinine ratio and Zhao et al found that elevated Gd-IgA1 levels in Chinese patients with IgAN may affect disease progression[ 6 ].

In contrast, untreated tadpoles tested in the dark showed a strong trend towards positive rheotaxis ( Fig 4A ).

Rheotaxis approached significance at slower flow speeds.

ervi under a benign temperature regime [ 18 ], and here we confirm the same trend although this is marginally non-significant (note that this is significant in the supplemental analysis of the proportion of parasitoid mummies; S1 Text , S1 Fig , S1 Table ).

When this relationship was analysed according to CSA severity, defined as AHI ≤30 or >30 events·h −1 , a significant trend towards longer CCU stays according to CSA severity was revealed ( Fig 2 ).

Introduction The average age of childbearing in women and fathering in men is showing an increasing trend in developed countries due to recent changes in social and economic conditions in the past decades [ 1 ].

However, some studies have reported an increasing trend for the posterior shear force acting on the knee joint throughout the whole range of knee flexion [ 107 , 108 ].

These results showed a clear trend in the change of sensitivity and specificity based on the required positive reactions in data interpretation.

Gender had no significant main effect, but the interaction effect of gender*groupsize is highly significant; men cooperated less in bigger groups, women cooperated more in bigger groups.

p<0.05 was considered statistically significant, p<0.01 as statistically highly significant.

Highly significant correlations were observed for most log-transformed nutrients, ranging from r = 0.30 for monounsatured fatty acids (MUFA) to r = 0.64 for beta-cryptoxanthin.

Unlike a numerical trend, such as a sliding mean, we would here have a “sliding empirical distribution” to determine the trend in terms of randomness. 5.3 Comparing Empirical Distributions With the three data sets as described, let us now look into how decisions based on the empirical data can be made.

An increasing trend for resistance to lincomycin also has been recorded in Australian isolates collected before 2002 [ 54 ].

The SBMWG diet also elevated plasma osmolality significantly whereas fish fed the SPCPM showed a clear trend in the same direction ( Table 3 ).

Litter weight at day 27 th of lactation, for LFD piglets, was numerically higher than HFD piglets, approaching significance.

The number of vocalizations approached significance in the novel object test, being somewhat higher in the HFD piglets.

It has been clarified that there is a highly significant correlation between Gd-EOB-DTPA uptake and OATP1B3 expression in HCC cells and/or normal hepatocytes, and also between the grade of OATP1B3 expression and the enhancement ratio (signal intensity) during the hepatobiliary phase of Gd-EOB-DTPA MRI [ 19 , 20 ].

For the SEK location a two-tailed t-test indicated that alleles at E1 and E4 were highly significant for plant growth performance ( S4 Table ).

Direct exposition via spray might be significant if pollinator poisoning prevention rules are not observed (e.g., bloom spraying during daytime).

This ‘point’ estimate reduces the external validity, as there is likely to be significant variance in both admission numbers of patients presenting to hospital and clinical practice on a day-to-day basis and also does not compensate for known seasonal variations in incidence of the condition.

The observations based on the sampling time of each DO groups both showed an obvious trend.

At the sixth month, the VL/HIV-NR group showed a trend towards decreased activation levels, but a significant reduction was observed at 12 mpt in this group compared to the VL/HIV-R group (**p<0.01).

Both precipitation and WVNI over Tarim River Basin exhibit an increasing trend during the period from 1960 to 2006 ( Fig 4 ).
