Excerpts

Overall, as BMI increased, the PFI of girls aged 7–15 years showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, but the fluctuation was smaller than that observed for boys.

Lateral EDExc was also inversely correlated with diastolic BP, whereas an inverse correlation of septal EDExc with diastolic BP was weaker and only borderline significant.

An increasing trend is noticed in temperature profile for stronger magnetic effect.

[ 2 ] describe the trainer as having a possibly significant influence on sportspeople’s activities and the development of their personalities and cognitive capacities based on their degree of interaction.

Values of p<0.05 (marked with a * in the figures) were considered statistically significant, whereas p<0.01 (**), p<0.001 (***) and p<0.0001 (****) were recognized as highly significant.

To estimate the number of participants we would need to detect cognitive changes with at least large effect sizes we used GPower [ 129 ] considering a priori analysis with covariates (ANCOVAs as it does not compute information for GLM), two groups (smokers and non-smokers) and two continuous predictors (SES and one other, on average, which we believed might be significant even though we selected smokers and non-smokers to be as alike as possible).

Finally, years of schooling, having children (only marginally significant in model 2) and having entered the US previously did not correlate with the likelihood of experiencing violence.

We also observe a lower productivity trend rate for the longer time horizon (see Section G of the S1 File ) and a decreasing trend in energy prices worldwide.

Active is slightly smaller and not fully significant in the Republican market, but also consistent.

The results also show that among the FAW managements practices, the lowest ATT of about 15% is observed for the use of synthetic pesticides, and it is even not statistically significant in the case of kernel matching or weakly significant (at 10% level) when using the double robust estimator.

While there was a slight trend toward fewer ticks making a choice with increasing concentration of DEET exposure, this was not the case with picaridin or 2-undecanone.

In the analysis of joint effects with a single reference group, beta estimates showed a clear trend within and between groups: with increasing years of education and decreasing number of risk alleles, the weaker the effect size estimates.

For the correlations between four traits, oleic acid content in both environments had a highly significant negative correlation with erucic acid and linolenic acid content ( Table 3 ).

Archaeal abundance was shown to be slightly increasing throughout the year except for the February archaeal bloom in GR whereas the bacterial abundance showed a decreasing trend from the April bloom to October ( Fig 3 and Figure A in S1 Appendix ).

We also found a positive trend of improved maternal DD with increasing exposure to SII platforms.

arabiensis could be held at 2°C for up to 8 hours or between 4 and 10°C for up to 24 hours without significantly impacting subsequent survival 14 days after immobilisation, except a marginally significant reduction at 6°C which might be due to experimental uncertainties.

The correlation coefficients for exercise #2, #3, #5, #8, and #11 were 0.594, 0.948, 0.686, 0.441, and 0.811, respectively, and all were highly significant ( p s < 0.001).

Results were unchanged controlling for observable confounds, with the exception of two models (LTM status predicting comfortable and agreeableness) in which LTM status became a marginally significant predictor ( p s = .085, .089, respectively) when confounds were statistically controlled.

Firstly, sample sizes in some cases were insufficient to unambiguously prove or discard the hypothesis about an apparent trend with age.

This may be due to the physiological and reproductive growth of pear jujube requiring a large amount of water supply, and the water consumption of pear jujube is increasing, so that the crop coefficient shows an increasing trend.

Two platform C cpT exhibited a strong trend for an increase from NR to R to R/NR, reaching a value in R/NR (58%) that was quite similar to the A-S R/NR value of 62% despite the lower power of the S-R cohort.

Comparison of average VEGFA methylation showed a marginal tendency towards significance between groups and CpG-1 ( VEGFA- 309) was significantly hypermethylated in the abnormal CPR group.

Assessment of association between lesion grade, viral load, E2: E6 ratio and pSTAT3 was performed using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient which revealed a positive correlation between lesion grade, viral load and pSTAT3 with highly significant p -values ( Table 6 ).

When several genes from the same family were differentially expressed we took one member from list from highly significant ones and one member for which the adjusted value was close to 0.05.

In a study of young healthy couples, mean energy expenditure during sexual activity was 3.6kCal/minute and the mean intensity was 5.8 METS; leading the authors to conclude that sexual activity could be considered significant exercise.[ 8 ] A growing literature has documented associations between engaging in sexual activity and better health and wellbeing.
