Excerpts

Quality of life was only assessed in 34.3% of publications ( n = 73) on ecosystem services in mountains, although it presented an increasing trend from 26.7% of the articles ( n = 57) in the period 1997–2007 to 38.0% in 2014–2016 ( n = 81) ( Fig 4 ).

No significant differences (p = 0.70) in monsoon and non-monsoon season were observed for dissolved oxygen concentration, but a decreasing trend was observed from South to North which might be related to the organic loading from the rivers.

Spatially, a clear salinity gradient was observed for both seasonal periods showing an increasing trend from north to south.

Furthermore, we also observed some other immune process related gene sets were marginally significant in the genes affected by rare IBD-associated CNVs with the adjusted p-value of the overrepresentation < 0.25 ( S3 Fig ).

In turn, the GTF2F1 gene demonstrated upregulation in response to enterovirus infection.[ 46 ] The highly significant IBD associated deletion over the DUSP22 gene deserves a special interest.

This procedure was necessary to account for the fact that minor changes in peptide assignment could have highly significant impacts on inferred differential expression.

It was found that the ratio of MMCs:liver area in males was marginally significant higher than in females ( Fig 4D ).

Overall, 386 out of 1280 interviewed subjects used at least one HS (30.2%) during the first year of follow-up: a clear trend associated to the state of frailty can be observed for the percentage of subjects accessing HSs ( Table 2 ).

There was a weak trend of men having a shorter intersurgical interval, but after controlling for the far stronger, and statistically significant, variables of country and time since diagnosis with multiple linear regression, there was no association with gender.

Associations with KIR2DS4 were marginally non-significant after correcting for multiple comparisons.

Partitioning of the observed phenotypic variations into different sources of variation via the mixed model analysis revealed a highly significant effect of accession for the three traits considered ( Table 1 ).

We also observe that more than doubling the daily antioxidant-rich food intake [ 30 ] attenuated the altitude-induced increase in micro-CRP, IL13 and a strong trend for IL6.

(2012) that showed a trend towards higher resistance levels in some household areas where biocides are used [ 29 ].

Despite the lack of differences resulting from low captures and high variability in the field samples, there was an overall trend of higher immigration from woodland into soybean for most groups sampled ( S1 Fig ).

The expression of the gustatory receptor gene showed a trend in which the expression level of TchiGR43a declined from the larval stage to the prepupal stage, then increased from the prepupal stage to the pupal stage and declined again at the late stage of the pupa ( Fig 4A ).

On r15, both groups showed a decreasing trend in orthodontic relapse as compared with r0.

AQP4-KO mice also showed a trend of reduced peak 17 O signal in CSF.

This association remained borderline significant when adjusted for specialty and Apache II score or when these two specialties were excluded from the analysis.

Here the unfavourable lifestyle factors were, however, found to be associated with an increasing trend of coffee consumption in the high risk subgroups, which is in accordance with previous observations indicating that heavy smoking may be related with increased coffee intake [ 59 ].

WGCNA enabled us to: 1) detect associations between treatments and groups of correlated genes, 2) validate highly significant molecular processes identified by pairwise comparison analysis, and 3) identify weaker but nevertheless significant biological signals.

The significant differences between both aquaponic treatments were minor, though partially significant.

With the exception of the borderline significant SRR estimate for the regional district Saxony Switzerland and Eastern Ore Mountains” (“Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge”; (SRR1.6; 95%CI 1.0–2.7)), no statistically significant differences between the various regions (reference: Bautzen) were observed.

After the setting and age adjustments, associations between BSE and agreement with the statements “I only need a breast exam if I have a breast problem” (p = 0.030) and “I do not need a breast exam because I feel fine” (p = 0.027) became marginally statistically significant while they were marginally not statistically significant during the unadjusted comparisons in Table 4 (p = 0.087 and p = 0.11, respectively).

The highly significant patient effect indicated that original patient wound bacterial load could predict how well a wound establishes on the mouse model.

In Samaru, high correlations between yield components of cassava (root fresh weights, shoot fresh weights and root/shoot ratio) and leaf nutrient concentrations were highly significant ( S4 Table ).
