Excerpts

A p value ≤ 0.05 was considered significant, and a p value ≤ 0.001was considered extremely significant.

Of those genera, the relative abundance of Bosea , Sphingobium , and Acidovorax showed an increasing trend, whereas those of Nevskia and Hydrocarboniphaga decreased overall.

The prevalence of ASD, all over the world, has had an increasing trend [ 16 , 17 ].

For the horizontal condition, a repeated-measures ANOVA, with factors Speed and Spatial Separation, shows a highly significant effect of speed but no effect of spatial separation and no significant interaction (After Greenhouse-Geisser correction, Speed, F (1.191) = 29.341, p = 0.003, Separation, F (1.41) = 2.683, p = 0.155, Interaction ( F (2.112) = 1.034, p = 0.401).

The effect is particularly clear for motion on the vertical axis and is likely to explain the marginal significance of spatial separation in the ANOVA for this axis ( Table 1 ).

Stratification of age groups for the SARI criteria The proportion of virus-positive patients meeting SARI criteria by their age yielded a clear trend, with the youngest patients being less likely to meet criteria ( Figs 1 and 3A ).

For comment #6, we think that many things about the borderline inter-group difference of the composite neurologic outcome composed of stroke and delirium, have already been covered in the Discussion section, including an acknowledgement of the borderline significance, a brief introduction of recent relevant publications, and the necessity for additional studies to elucidate this correlation.

As indicated by its negative and significant coefficient for the linear growth rate and its positive and marginally significant coefficient for the quadratic growth rate, G2 wealth ranking also shapes the trajectory of child BMI over time.

Sending more messages to health coaches, manually tracking health metrics more often, and opening more program lessons were associated with more weight loss, to marginally significant degrees.

1) Can the authors show the trend of the groundwater depletion in this district, though recent in situ measurements? RESPONSE: Referring to the monitoring data of Water Bureau of Changping District [2], the shallow groundwater depth in the monitoring point of Machikou (marked in Figure 1) presented an increasing trend from 6.09 m in 2001 to 28.09 m in 2011, as shown below.

From Fig 3 , both English non-musicians and musicians also showed an increasing trend of sharpness of category boundary (coefficient b1) as stimulus duration increased.

Our analyses showed a slight trend for delay in events for a given soak time at sites where overall elasmobranch abundance was classified as ‘low’ or ‘medium’.

In conclusion, given the highly significant health and economic costs of obesity and the clear importance of economic development, it is vital to gain an in-depth and systematic understanding into the association between obesity prevalence and national income.

Although betanin pretreatment leads to an increase in ATP levels as compared to the LPS-induced group, its level changes indicate a positive trend in mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress inhibition.

AbMTHFD showed a trend to have more substituted amino acids at high composite Z-score positions when compared with TtMTHFD and had a slight trend when compared to TaMTHFD.

Regarding the RMSD values over time ( Fig 2A, 2B and 2C ), a slight trend to higher RMSD values with temperature could be seen in all three proteins.

The less thermophilic TaMTHFD showed only a small trend to have more substituted amino acids at high composite Z-score positions when compared with TtMTHFD and had a more significant trend when compared with AbMTHFD.

In order to conclude on the direction of a significant trend, the Somer’s D measure of association was calculated.

Somer’s D ranges between -1 and 1, where negative values indicate a negative trend and positive values indicate a positive trend.

Women shedding genital HPV DNA showed a trend to harbor more frequently abnormal cytology results (7 cases, 20.0%) than women without genital HPV DNA (1 case, 6.3%), but the difference was not significant.

Why is there a decreasing trend? 6.

There was a decreasing trend from day 11 (~85% of non-stored control) and the cell count was significantly decreased to 0.93±0.14x10 6 cells by day 15 (~60% of non-stored control; p<0.0001 day 15 vs control; p = 0.0004 day 15 vs day 11: Fig 2A ).

Penny and Overgaard [ 30 ] found only marginally significant differences in the contamination of chromium between samples taken using stainless steel needles and plastic needles.

The degree of coupling of the other provinces showed an increasing trend, and the overall degree of coupling exhibited the spatial pattern of Central > Eastern > Western > Northeastern.

No measure even approached significance except comprehension.
