Excerpts

Increasing specialization, changes in institutional incentives for publication, along with a host of other reasons, have brought about a marked trend toward co-authored articles.

Participants in our study were trending towards significance in the distribution of gender between the two groups.

Pairwise analysis of means detected highly significant differences between Bt eggplant lines and their non-Bt comparators for all field efficacy parameters tested.

As illustrated in Fig 7 , phase angle did not significantly change from baseline to 12 months (mean difference 0.29°, 95% CI -0.004; 0.584, P = 0.05), although there was a positive trend.

Data analysis The statistical differences between groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA using SPSS 11.5 software with p < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant and p <0.01 as highly significant.

While we found a weak trend for cells with small dendritic fields to have higher median thresholds, cells with smaller somas and/or dendritic fields were better able to keep up with repetitive stimulation at frequencies of 10–200 Hz, with the advantage increasing with stimulus frequency.

Although the previously reported acute effects of choline bitartrate on visuomotor performance were highly significant and strong [ 46 ], its effects on memory could be more subtle.

In addition, we compared the genome assemblies of isolates Fv Mont-1 and Fv Clinton-1B with the Repbase database [ 49 ] (release RepBase21.02) and found highly significant matches (e-values as low as 0): 18 matches in the Fv Mont-1 assembly and 36 matches in the Fv Clinton-1B assembly.

For those mutations that are more likely to be enhanced by deamination or oxidation (last three rows), the difference varies from being statistically significant to marginally significant.

As expected, compared with the negative controls, co-transfection of miR156a mimic with the human JAMA 3’ UTR wild type reporter (psiCHECK2-JAMA 3’ UTR-WT) resulted in a highly significant decrease in luciferase activity.

The separation between these curves is highly significant: the Log-rank p -value is 1.2 ⋅ 10 −6 in the METABRIC training, 3.2 ⋅ 10 −9 in the METABRIC validation and 4.1 ⋅ 10 −18 in the ROCK data sets.

When evaluating a month’s Weibo statuses, the correlations between human ratings and SCLIWC scores were significant or marginally significant in all the selected categories in our study while using status count method, and most of them achieved medium correlation, which confirmed that the dictionary SCLIWC does be a valid tool in detecting psychological expressions in Weibo statuses, if used in a proper way.

The expression of β-III tubulin in 3D-cultured DU145 cells followed a decreasing trend from Alvetex-, Matrigel-, and BME-cultured cells.

Its catalase activity showed a trend of rising first and then falling when exposed to 5–50 mM H 2 O 2 ( Fig 4A ).

Three subgroups of fungi can be seen from the PCA plot: BSS11, BSL12, BSS13, BSS5, BSS14, L2, BSL2-1, B3 and BSS7 were observed in group one; BSPDB and BSL11 were observed in group two; and BSL10 and BSS17 were observed in the out-group with a highly significant potential for enzyme production ( Fig 4 ).

P value <0.0001 is considered highly significant.

Univariate Spearman rank correlation analysis unvealed highly significant negative moderate, negative weak and positive very weak correlations between age and FGT (rho -0.428), BPE (rho -0.279) and malignant diagnosis (rho 0.189), respectively (p<0.001).

Indeed, the results in Experiment 1 showed that the difference in RT for the angry and neutral emotions was very marked, but that the shifting of the U-shaped curve toward shorter interval durations for anger compared to neutrality remained weakly significant.

The only suggestive evidence for decoding is in IPS, where performance reaches marginal significance for the largest voxel samples and also shows a systematic increase with sample size, an important hallmark of genuine decoding performance.

Results Decellularization Safranin-O and Fast Green staining of decellularized cartilage showed a trend of decreasing proteoglycan content with the addition of chABC ( Fig 3 ).

For cytarabine, the results observed were close to significance, but not statistically different (Tables 7 and 8 ).

When data were compared independently of localization, contamination amounts were found to be significantly lower for cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide and ganciclovir whereas no significant difference was apparent for either gemcitabine or fluorouracil.

Follow-up by two prospective cohort studies suggested a positive trend of cadmium exposure as a risk factor for endometrial cancer in women with a BMI<25 in one [ 25 ], while the other found no association [ 26 ] possibly due to apparent difficulty in accurately estimating biological exposure to environmental cadmium.

The production of timber does not show a clear trend in Costa Rica since the 1970s [ 49 ], but it now comes mainly from plantations, which are rare in our study site compared to northeastern and northwestern Costa Rica [ 60 ].

Distribution of vascular epiphytes among host crown zones and orientations In our study, epiphyte species richness and abundance generally decreased from the TZ, ICZ and MCZ to the OCZ of the host trees ( Fig 2 ), indicating that diversity of vascular epiphytes shows a decreasing trend as we move up the trunk of host trees.
