Excerpts

While the effect of temperature was weakly positive for the BB, it was highly significant and non-linear for the GD, with an overall negative trend.

The association between brisk walking and the subsequent risk of developing HF was attenuated but remained highly significant after adjustment for confounders and potential mediators in both genders ( Table 2 ) .

There was a clear trend in declining heart rate, an indicator of physical fitness, from the sedentary to the moderate/highly active participants and with increasing speed of walking in both genders (all age-adjusted test for trend <0.001) whereas heart rate did not differ between groups defined by walking duration (age-adjusted test for trend >0.10).

As typically found in the literature, N400 showed a highly significant amplitude reduction for repetition priming and a smaller but still significant reduction for semantic priming.

The log likelihood ratio is 24.65, and the p-value < 0.01, confirming a highly significant clustering.

In both tasks, while the TBI-saline showed a trend of improved recovery over time, their performance did not reach statistical significance (p's>0.05) compared to Day 0 post-TBI.

Our model indicated a generally decreasing trend in the number of breeding pairs at the Beaufort Island, Cape Bird and Cape Crozier colonies between 1981 and 2000, then an increasing trend from 2001 to 2012 ( Table 2 ; Fig. 2 ).

The risk increase associated with low 25(OH)D levels was somewhat higher for men than women, but remained stable and highly significant in both sexes through various adjustments.

We detected an increasing trend in leaf angular velocity with greater initial leaf angle ( Fig 1d ); notably, traps with ω angle near π / 2 rad closed rapidly (dotted rectangle).

There was a significant effect of genotype on the absolute response amplitude evoked in CA1sr and a clear trend for a similar lack of facilitation in CA1slm (although, not significant).

Consistent with the model outcomes, analyses of the working Sentinel Surveillance datasets (Republican AIDS Centre, 2006–2010) among PWID revealed a declining trend in HIV prevalence among younger age groups and an increasing trend among older age groups over time (Fig 4 in Appendix S2).

In line with this view, the higher LPP amplitude observed for highest-rank faces may thus reflect the recruitment of attentional and motivational resources dedicated to the evaluation of highly significant social stimuli.

There was also a strong trend towards interaction with diabetes mellitus in patients with a CHADS 2 score ≥2.

Although the difference in perceived hand hardness between the MHI and the controls just failed to reach significance, it is important to note that hardness rating significantly increased after the stimulation in the MHI, but not in the controls.

The Kaplan-Meier curve showed a trend toward poorer survival in the high-expression group, suggesting a potential negative prognostic pattern.

The correlation between Fe and Co (r = 0.860, p < 0.05) and between Fe and Cr (r = 0.860, p < 0.05) were highly significant, suggesting that these metals may be linked to either industrial activity or naturally occurring geological formations where both elements are abundant.

Fibroblasts treated with IL1β already showed a trend of decreasing transgelin (TAGLN) mRNA levels in quiescent HLFa ( Fig. 3B ).

Quantification of the % of cells stained positive for intracellular collagen after 7 days demonstrated that IL1β alone had no effect, that TGFβ1 notably induced collagen synthesis, and that the combination of TGFβ1 with IL1β showed a clear trend of decreasing collagen type I synthesis in both HDFa and HLFa ( Fig. 6D–F ).

Globally, there is an increasing trend in the rate at which waste is produced.

Our analysis shows that the figure ranking performance has an overall trend of favoring articles with larger number of figures in terms of ∼WER-RK as in Figure 5A , which seems count-intuitive.

Profile 3, measured a few hours earlier in the day on a different date, yielded consistently low pH readings relative to the other 4 profiles; this profile ranged 8.22–8.05±0.2 from 0–2.51 m depth, following a decreasing trend with depth.

The fact that we have not found a decreasing trend in TDR (as of WHO list) indicates that this bias, if existing, is probably of small magnitude.

The Venn diagram of ASVs showed a decreasing trend in unique ASV numbers of bacteria with every passing year.

We also noticed a decreasing trend of FA unsaturation in chow diet fed rats over the age which might be due to the redistribution of the fatty acid composition.

Shifts in hydroclimate, phenology and biota To identify the contribution of the different variables associated with PC1, only the large eigenvector values of PC1 were considered (values >2 as a thumb of rule) along with highly significant correlations.
