Consequently, the simulated NEP exhibited a decreasing trend under a warming climate.

With respect to the response to the decadal change of precipitation, the dynamics of the ΔNPP and ΔRh showed an increasing trend with ΔPrecipitation, while these positive responses tended to be stagnant ( Fig 5A and 5B ).

On the other hand it should be noted that with a large n , the F-test might be significant even though biases are small.

Notably, we found a clear trend between Σ and labeling density of H3K9me3 in the colocalization using PWS and fluorescent microscopy, which is frequently altered in carcinogenesis [ 23 ].

However, the seasonal decomposition analysis showed that there is an increasing trend of dengue infections with distinct seasonality for both autochthonous and overseas acquired cases.

Moran’s I increased from 0.4554 to 0.6047 on a provincial scale, 0.5530–0.7048 on a prefecture scale, and 0.6680–0.7397 on a county scale, respectively, which indicates that the cluster degree of the oldest-old index exhibited an increasing trend.

Organic carbon stock The soil organic carbon stock distribution at different depth classes showed a decreasing trend with increasing depth in all the land use types ( Fig 3 ).

By contrast, a significant trend emerged in which all participants increased their tapping rates from when they tapped alone to when they tapped with other people, and ones with slower initial preferred rates increased their taps/min significantly more than their partners ( Fig 4 ).

Gene annotations indicated that heavy-metal associated membrane transport and down-regulation of cytoskeleton-associated ATPase activities might be significant processes.

A negative trend in this characteristic was observed in the first decade, whereas it was steadily rising from the second to the last decade in the students from UPE.

A positive trend in body mass was found in a study by Petranowić et al.

The post hoc Scheffé test revealed highly significant differences between the cohorts.

In contrast, the Blue Mountain Eye Study revealed that the age-adjusted prevalence of glaucoma was higher in women, although this finding was of borderline significance [ 7 ].

Phylogenetic signal We found moderate phylogenetic signal for CT max ( Table 1 ), as suggested by an overall trend in which closely related species (especially those in families Leptodactylidae, Strabomantidae, and Microhylidae) exhibited more similar CT max than distantly related species ( Fig 1 ).

The most recent epidemiological year, 2017/18, had 731 PCV13 serotype IPD cases (3.17 cases per 100,000), in line with an increasing trend established in 2013/14.

Sequential fractionation of the top- and subsoil microaggregate size fraction revealed a decreasing trend in proportions and concentrations of P Resin after clear-cut, which however were not significant.

For both boys and girls, at endline there is a highly significant reduction in children’s reports of corporal punishment by teachers in the month prior to data collection, and prevalence of corporal punishment has more than halved between baseline and endline for girls.

A trend towards significance was interpreted as a p value between 0.05 and 0.1.

No significant difference regarding the reverberation artifact was found for models H and I and near significance was obtained for model F and L.

The correlation between specific means of wood density and growth rates derived from tree ring studies is highly significant (r = 0.81, Fig 9 ).

The GLM for VAS showed a trend of inverse association between VAS and the intensity of FC between the right DLPFC and dorsal PCC, whereas the association was insignificant after Bonferroni correction.

However, the SEM estimation based on homogeneous_CS as in Eq (3) has a completely different trend (constant SEM), thus the endpoint become extraordinarily significant and less significant at week 1 and week 7.

The voltage dependence of Ca V 3.1–1235 channel activation showed a trend in altered channel function with a small shift to more negative values ( Fig 4 ) and channel deactivation was shifted to positive values ( Fig 4 ).

In line, our data obtained from mouse sera also only showed a slight trend of higher endostatin levels in male mice compared to female ones, but older mice displayed a trend of higher endostatin levels than younger ones.

Starting from the onset of the mixing period in winter, the mean mesozooplankton concentration exhibits an increasing trend that lasts till early summer ( Fig 5 ).
