Excerpts

FTP construct type and FTP focus remained significant moderators, but FTP focus was only marginally significant, whereas long-term orientation, uncertainty-avoidance, and gender were no longer significant moderators.

For the Columbia River, the dominance curves show a slight trend towards decreasing native species richness in Bonneville and The Dalles reaches and suggest that native species evenness increased from 2006 to 2013 in three of the four reaches ( Fig 7A ).

The funnel plot showed a trend that smaller studies are associated with larger effects; smaller studies not showing a significant effect may be less likely to be published.

Apixaban patients had a nonsignificant trend toward a lower risk of hemorrhagic stroke (HR: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.53–1.13) compared with warfarin patients ( Fig 2B ).

This weakly significant result indicates that, while high degrees of homophilous partnering accounts for some of the HSV-2 risk in Kaokoveld, other factors may be important as well.

Self-reported number of cigarettes used during treatment showed a trend for reduced use of tobacco only in the nabiximols group ( S2B Fig ), whereas the number of cigarettes in the placebo group remained similar before (week 0) and at the end of treatment (week 12).

Discussion The highly significant decline (96%, Figs 3 and 4 ) in lion attacks on bomas with flashlights installed, confirmed by positive experiences from the majority of interviewed owners of such bomas (92%) support the hypothesis that flashlights reduce the probability of nocturnal lion attacks at livestock bomas.

This model was highly significant (see Results ) and therefore was used to predict the number of Hooded vultures in each (non-surveyed) settlement in Guinea-Bissau.

Comparison of matched samples from BASE-II and BASE demonstrated a favorable trend for HbA1c.

Although not significant, higher volumes showed a trend towards increased efficiency ( Fig 2C ) and, together with higher serum content, reduced transduction toxicity upon microscopic evaluation.

Is livestock ownership associated with child ASF consumption? In generalized linear mixed effect models, no livestock typology was significantly associated with odds of child ASF consumption, although Type 5 typology approached significance ( Table 6 and S3 Table ).

We generally found a decreasing trend in OTU richness in the high L . conchilega treatment with increasing depth ( Fig 7 ).

However, after high-temperature treatment, IAA levels showed a decreasing trend in leaves on the sixth day ( Fig 3C ).

Furthermore, the finding was consistent in years one and two, despite the fact that there was an overall trend of increasing prevalence in year one, from the beginning to the end of the trial, and an overall trend of decreasing prevalence in year two.

The rise in the numbers of women smoking that was registered in Italy until 1990 may explain the overall stable figures with only a slight, although significant, decrease noted for this site in the women over 60, as compared to the highly significant decline involving all age classes in the men.

A decreasing trend of LF/HF and SDNN/rMSSD ratios (Figs 4B and 5B ) suggests that hypoxia may promote vagal domination.

Enteritidis) were highly significant and imply across-group differences.

According to our results, L1CAM could be a promising target for combination therapy of human melanoma as a knockdown of L1CAM alone already led to a highly significant decrease in metastasis in the xenograft model of human melanoma described in this study even without changes in glycoprotein core-fucosylation by FUT8[ 12 ].

In the logistic regression, the coefficient for the aggression measure is positive and highly significant.

-1562C>T MMP9 polymorphism revealed borderline significance with POAG The prevalence of CC genotype was greater in controls (69.75%) than in cases (61.16%) while frequency of CT genotype was found to be higher in cases (37.94%) as compared to the control group (28.61%).

In a Taiwanese population, highly significant association was observed between PACG and a non synonymous SNP in exon 6 of the MMP9 gene (rs2664538; now merged into rs17576) [ 35 ].

We also found EGFR mutations were more common among elderly patients, and that such patients tended to have worse survival after diagnosis of BM compared to younger patients, with borderline significance (HR = 1.036).

There was a clear trend for a reduced total HES dose in patients with pre-existing renal dysfunction when compared to patients without this diagnosis (7.4 (1.7–17.9) g/kg vs. 12.6 (5.2–19.4) g/kg; p = 0.052).

Conversely, we did not detect a strong trend in locations east of the median line moving eastward, suggesting that the eastern extreme of the corridor has been less dynamic.

Modulation of HMG-CoA and MVA metabolite formation by frataxin knockdown Baseline levels of HMG-CoA (determined by UPLC-HRMS) in sFXN#10 group (117.4 ± 17.2%, Fig 7B ) and sFAN#11 knockdown group (134.3 ± 31.1%, Fig 7B ) showed a trend to higher levels than the si-NC group (100.0 ± 17.3%, Fig 7B ) and in regular HepG2 group (100.4 ± 54.3%, Fig 7B ).
