Excerpts

There was an increasing trend in caspase 3/7 in male Mk2 -/- OCs at day 5 suggesting that apoptosis may be contributing to differences seen at this day when OCgen is teetering on OC formation and dying.

As can be seen from Fig 5A , GDS3950 shows that CTLA2A expression exhibits an increasing trend during development of the mouse lung except for a slight decrease on postnatal d 10.

In mice with the homozygous mutant CLDN16, the expression of DEFB29 is 40% less than in wild type mice (P<0.05); in the heterozygous mice, expression of DEFB29 also shows a decreasing trend ( Fig 7H ).

By comparing the difference in overrepresented terms between genes tightly- and those loosely-associated to the ECCN, we found that cell cycle and translation related terms are highly significant in loosely associated genes in comparison to tightly associated genes.

Finally highly significant Strain*Temperature interactions were found for CO 2 max , t-lag and t-V max (FK), t-N 0 , K , Size . t-N max and Viability . t-75 (LHT), Ethanol , Residual Sugar and Sugar/Ethanol Yield (BEP) and Acetate ratio (AT).

A positive slope indicates an increasing trend, and a negative slope indicates a decreasing trend.

A significant trend was identified when the confidence intervals at the 95% confidence level did not include a zero slope.

However, for weeds and grasses, a negative trend of—0.65 units year −1 (–5.07% year −1 ) and—0.36 units year −1 (–3.52% year −1 ), respectively, can be observed, with a confidence level of 99.9%.

The results for the airborne pollen from trees are similar to the total concentration of the airborne pollen, which has an observed trend of −1.65 units year −1 (–1.19% year −1 ), which is not statistically significant.

Unlike the clinical and ultrasound measures in Table 4 , the LMP/SFH regression model had a negative trend in the bias as shown in the Bland-Altman plot ( S3 Fig ), with a mean bias of 0 and 95% limits of agreement of (-17, 17) leading to a reduced sensitivity but increased specificity to predict PTB and a better overall performance as determined by the F-measure.

As there was a highly significant difference in body condition index between sexes we a) ran the same analysis for both sexes separately and b) further tested whether this difference was possibly caused by different morphometrics between sexes [ 39 ] or indeed due to differences in body condition.

Although there is controversy regarding the relationship between age at menarche and postmenopausal osteoporosis [ 2 , 6 ], it seemed to have borderline significance in our study.

However, results derived from the model predicted that large regions in the Atlantic domain might have experience increases in the development rate of up to 60%-80% and a more than 80% increase in the survival rates during developing and questing stages, which could be driven by a pronounced trend in temperature increase in the last 20–30 years [ 54 – 56 ].

*p<0.05 represented significance; **p≤0.01 and ***p≤0.001 were interpreted to be highly significant.

The profile shows an increasing trend and is valid for all sets of parameter considered.

Both variables pointed to a marginal trend to increase with increasing vole numbers, which was in neither case statistically significant.

Correlations indicate significant (sign.*, 0.05 level), highly significant (sign.**, 0.01 level), and not significant (sign. ≥0.05).

This is the first study reporting a significant trend in TF and patient survival improvement throughout the vintages in a developing country and after adjusting for multiple covariates.

The coefficients associated with being a nurse decrease significantly and maintain only marginal significance.

The racial/ethnic disparities were large and highly significant, particularly the odds ratios for HIV prevalence among African-American compared to White subjects.

The majority of the inflammatory genes showed a trend towards increased expression with HCA ( Table 4 ).

In addition, p , p’ -DDE showed significant positive association with bloodspot TSH, and marginally significant negative association with total T3.

P < 0.05 was set as significant results, but considering small sample size, p < 0.10 was also shown as marginal significance.

When including the covariates, the year effect on bednet ownership becomes stronger and marginally significant, and the conservancy residence coefficient remains insignificant.

Nominally significant associations were observed between variations in the alpha-2A adrenergic receptor gene ( ADRA2A ) and the Slow-5 band.
