Excerpts

All stations exhibited a decreasing trend in annual precipitation series ( Table 7 ).

The results ( Table 6 ) also suggest that all stations exhibited an increasing trend in February and decreasing trends in April, October, and November.

Secondly, MCV showed a trend towards microcytosis in both HIV-1-infected and uninfected infants suggesting that zidovudine was not present in sufficient quantities to induce macrocytosis, as might have been expected [ 13 ].

Among the subjects who responded to mental stress (baseline-to-peak increment >1.5 nmol/L; n = 13, 5 LF, 8 HF), the amplitude of cortisol response and the steepness of recovery decline displayed an increasing trend in the HF subjects, although between-group differences failed to reach the threshold for significance.

Between-group differences, albeit showing a clear trend, failed to reach the threshold for significance.

Likewise, the RRP is prolonged as the disease progresses, but it tends to keep constant or even shows a slight trend of decrease in control (gray band in Fig 3D ).

Percentage of time spent in target range (70–140 mg/dL) showed a trend toward an increase from baseline to end-of-treatment and a trend toward a decrease post-treatment, but this post-treatment decrease in time in target was significant only for the MDI subgroup.

Hydrological drought has the most significant increasing trend in the Mainstream basin, while the increasing trend in the Fu River basin is not quite significant, and the increasing trend in the Qu River basin is the least significant.

In sum, the loglinear Rasch model has a closer fit but uses up more degrees of freedom; while deviations from the extended binomial error are marginally significant according classical criteria, the more parsimonious model is preferred according to the Bayesian criterion.

The highly significant reduction in the number of unsolved DRP first emphasized the benefit of a strategy that implements pharmacist-led medication reviews with subsequent collaborative discussion of identified DRP in psychiatric wards to improve the drug therapy safety of psychiatric inpatients in a controlled trial.

The ΔlpfA1 mutant did not have significant reduction in the in vivo colonization model, but showed a trend of lower bacterial recovery from the feces, ceca, and large intestine.

If |0.8 ≤ ρ ≤ 1.0| (where, ρ is the Spearman’s correlation), then there is a clear trend in the trajectories of the community composition [ 28 ], which will be evident by a straight line (a trajectory) in the hybrid MDS plot.

Microarray screening for differential viral gene expression A cluster analysis of viral oligo probes for the three study groups demonstrated a clear trend of viral gene up-regulation in the peripheral blood of SAID probands compared to either unaffected twins or healthy controls.

Both analyses showed the same result: a highly significant effect of procedure and coherence and no effect of the other three attributes ( Fig 5 ).

Shade-tolerant species systematically showed high WSG values with a decreasing trend along the radial profile (negative slopes, Fig 4 ).

Wood density profiles with an increasing trend from pith-to-bark and a low WSG were not systematic for light-demanding species.

No other comparison showed statistical significant, even though exposed wild-type males showed a trend of an increase over control that did not reach significance ( Fig 7A ).

The source of raw produce was also associated with a borderline significant difference in the average E . coli levels in salad sold at restaurants with the highest contamination or impact resulting from produce bought directly from farm gates ( Table 4 ).

In addition, all-cause mortality showed a trend to be increased in patients with G-CSF above the median as compared to G-CSF plasma levels below the median.

The mean of the middle segments was only marginally significant though.

Among the 14 α-X-TMCs, E -α- p -OMe-C 6 H 4 -TMC displayed the most promising potential as a new therapeutic agent, demonstrating a highly significant reduction of annexin-V positive cells.

+ 0–2, 3+4 and 5+ has been detected with an overall trend towards lower delta Ct measures with increasing NAS ( Fig 2 ).

However, this difference although being highly significant was rather limited.

The enrichment of 91 essential protein subset by Gene Ontology [ 16 ], KEGG [ 17 ] and PharmGKB drug target [ 18 ] categories had shown a significant trend towards membrane proteins, specifically, proteins of plasma membrane and cell periphery ( Fig 3 , S2 Table ).

Effective and highly significant protection was demonstrated in mice immunized with TgMIC1-4-6 or TgMIC1-4, since 80% and 70% of the mice, respectively, survived to the acute phase of infection, which is compatible with the high protection reported to be conferred by immunization with the LAC+ fraction (21).
