Excerpts

These differences are all highly significant (chi-square tests on pairs of decades, or on the whole table).

When normalized to vehicle control levels, Netrin-1 induced a rapid and highly significant decrease in NFPC after 10 min, but by 30 min the level of NFPC had returned to that seen prior to stimulation ( Fig 3A–3E ).

The increase of electron-dense granula was quantified and found to be highly significant ( Table 1 ).

No other difference was observed, although a marginal trend was noted for outer facial features.

Although the results are slightly better when using more modalities as input (as in Motion,Image → Sound in comparison to Motion → Sound or Image → Sound), the improvement in performance is not clearly significant in the experiment.

For malignant neoplasms, a decreasing trend persisted even after the pandemic’s start across all groups.

An ANOVA of the relationship between the variance of the evidence and deliberative length on the one hand, and epistemic success on the other, indicates that both of the former parameters are highly significant (F = 2027 and 18, respectively), though the relative importance of variance is much greater than deliberative length.

A highly significant positive correlation was found between skilled-reaching performance (i.e., average success on the first reach attempt on days 11 and 12) and level of phospho-DARPP-32 at the Thr75 site, but not at the Thr34 or Ser97 sites ( r = 0.848, P = 0.002; Fig 8A ), in the striatum contralateral to the trained forelimb.

This change could have caused a positive trend in the numbers of animals hauled out and available for observation as animals that find abundant food resources nearby their rookeries may spend less time foraging at sea as explained by Maniscalco et al.

The present results showed a trend that the unencapsulated capsaicin was assessed higher in pungency than the encapsulated formulations with the same concentrations.

In a mouse model, CS exposure for 16 weeks showed a trend towards increased blood pressure; this trend was statistically significant compared to non-exposed mice at 32 weeks of CS exposure [ 21 ].

The present study showed that S100a9, a brain-specific protein, was upregulated in the CIR mice, and Gfap showed an increasing trend.

Our 141-hypothesis screen demonstrated that the same geometric feature can appear highly significant under feature-shuffle controls but completely non-significant under rewiring controls or strict max-null auditing.

Out of 39 filtered associations they identified 4 which showed marginally significant eQTL trend, supporting the logic of miRNA regulation.

There were several C-type associations from the top lists showing the same direction and nominally significant cis -eQTL effect in multiple tissues ( S9 Fig ).

An additional limitation of the phenology models used, which may have significant implications for their application to future climate scenarios, is their inability to capture the effect on plant growth and development of the projected increase in CO 2 concentrations: likely to be significant for C 3 crops such as the grapevine [ 74 ].

Risk exposure under different climate scenarios The higher temperatures predicted under future climate scenarios and time periods are reflected in projected increases in the seasonal growing degree days measured from 1 st April to 31 st October, with the historic weather record also showing an increasing trend in seasonal GDD since 1961, despite year-on-year variation ( Fig 2 ).

The medium stage of forest gaps illustrated an increasing trend in the contents of soil compaction and soil volumetric moisture content due to the adaptation to the gap disturbance and species composition.

The coulombic efficiency (CE) of the system was lower as compared to the values reported in literature due to the toxic nature of the azo-dye [ 20 , 25 ].The highest coulombic efficiency of 10.36%was obtained for 200 ppm of ANB( Fig 3B ), which is slightly lower than the value reported by Bakhshian et al.[ 20 ] but much higher than the values reported by Zhang et al.[ 39 ].The toxic effects are quite significant at higher concentrations of ANB (e.g. 400 ppm) resulting in to lower CE value.

Indeed, we found that infants in the glucose group showed a trend towards an elevated heart rate although the difference was not statistically significant ( Table 2 ).

Only a single gene set (GO0015464: acetylcholine receptor activity) was found nominally significant in both data sets by two of the four GSA methods.

The TCB indicated a slightly greater, although not quite significant, improvement among intervention group (increase of 2.25 ± 2.34 points) compared to the control group (increase of 1.34 ± 2.40 points) between the baseline and six months ( U = 753.5, p = .051).

Regarding dry matter distribution, the proportion of leaf to non-leaf organs showed a decreasing trend under transplanting.

The only nominally significant finding among the quality-of-life outcomes was observed for the Financial Difficulties subscale, where the EXSUPP group reported lower scores compared with EXPLA (−13.52; p = 0.04; 95% CI −26.24 to −0.80; d = −0.91).

Associations with risk of LBP With adjustment for age only, all measures of body size showed highly significant positive relationships with risk of LBP among individuals not affected by LBP at baseline, in women as well as in men ( Table 3 ).
