However, an increasing trend in the difference in the collection time was observed along time, reaching 2 h and 46 min at week 12 (mean collection time was 06:56 for women in group LOW and 09:42 for women in group HIGH; p = 0.024).

[ 35 ] also described a decreasing trend in phytoplankton biomass (from 2.9 to 0.2 μg L −1 ) in summer 2012 from the BC towards oceanic waters, following the increasing salinity and decreasing trends in particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON), and dissolved organic matter (DOM) [ 35 , 70 ].

Patients’ gender nearly significantly interacted with the rate of hospitalization for heart failure, with a notable trend towards worse outcome in women [ 10 ].

Residues were observed in both pasteurized and unpasteurized samples, indicating that residue control needs to be focused on all producers, although there is a clear trend towards a lower prevalence of contamination for pasteurized products.

There is good reason to believe previously reported regional stillbirth rates may be significant underestimates.

Concerning the dependent variable warmth, we observed a marginally significant interaction effect of negative instrumentality (i.e., detrimental diverse vs. instrumental diverse condition) on the relationship between instrumentality-based pro-diversity beliefs and warmth ( b = -0.328, SE = 0.167, p = .052, CI 95% = -0.659, 0.003).

We observed a small trend such that male faculty tended to receive higher ratings (of 0.10 points) of overall teaching quality than female faculty.

Following Chen [ 64 ], the cutoffs for a practically significant decrease in fit employed here are Δ CFI ≤ -0.01, supplemented by Δ RMSEA ≥ 0.015, or Δ SRMR ≥ 0.03 (where the fit index of the restricted model is always subtracted from the fit index of the unrestricted model).

Analysis of morphological and physiological responses over cultivation time displays a clear trend as displayed in Fig 7 : Pellet diameter ( Fig 7A ) is reduced in cultivations with glass particles, while pellet compactness (Eq ( 5 )), Fig 7B ) is slightly increased.

Fig 2 shows a correlation of wash load mass with ppm microfiber release, with a clear trend towards increasing fiber loss in smaller loads.

However, the difference between the sites was revealed to be merely of borderline significance (p-value 0.052, overlapping confidence intervals).

We found that the incidence of HFMD presented an increasing trend and had been at a high level between 2015 and 2018, which was much higher than that of Shandong Province (93.70 per 100000) [ 24 ].

Accordingly, the effect of marker number on the prediction accuracy of multi-site cross-validation data, showed a clear trend of increased predictive accuracy with increasing marker density.

This study uses one-way sensitivity analysis to emphasize how single vaccine characteristics may be significant in favouring one vaccine product over the other.

Market concentration shows an increasing trend in the longer run, but still remaining relatively low ( Fig 10 ).

The indirect effects for ToP shopping frequency was marginally significant (c’ = .014; 95% CI = [0.001; 0.029]; see Fig 1 ).

For whether having a second child, the marginal effect of pension is -0.075 but only marginally significant.

In our study, The PNPLA3 rs738409 gene polymorphism frequency was highly significant in diabetic obese patients when compared to diabetic none obese group.

Considering that these are elevated in pre-eclampsia and sickle cell disease in pregnancy, it seems that the role of IL-1 β in augment IL-6 secretion in pregnancy is highly significant compared to TNF-α.

With conversion from a poorly-sensitive wet mount detection method to a highly-sensitive molecular assay (with performance characteristics well described in the peer-reviewed literature) among approximately 4000 participants (utilizing a well-defined means of participant selection), the quite significant reduction in prevalence is likely not due to the testing modality.

A difference-in-difference analysis indicated that the feedback was marginally significant in decreasing water consumption immediately and continuously, especially for the middle and low use households, during the summer months, which is a period of perceived water shortage.

Specifically, anthocyanin concentrations in petals and stems statistically decreased about 20% in these plants, whereas in calyces there was a 30% decrease and the differences were only marginally significant ( Fig 2 , Table 1 ).

(2) The level of talent attraction in China shows a decreasing trend from east to west, and the ranking in 2018 was "East Coast > North Coast > Southern Coast > Middle Yangtze River > Middle Yellow River > Southwest > Northeast > Greater Northwest".

Since plant-soil feedback is an interaction, we calculated the pair-wise interactions between each pair and discovered 4/10 significant ( Fig 6A, 6C, 6E, 6I ) and 2/10 ( Fig 6G and 6K ) closely significant feedbacks.

Pearson’s correlation coefficient for yield performance in two years ranged from a non-significant correlation in 2018 to highly significant in 2019, with a weak correlation between SEK18 and NK19.
