Excerpts

The application of SS showed highly significant effects in increasing K and P contents in soil [ 25 ].

Our results showed a highly significant reduction of myelin basic protein in polyneuropathy patients compared to controls.

The third period (1974–1989) shows a positive trend of normalized distance between field camps and study sites, indicating more dispersed research ( Fig 5c ).

This was followed by a decreasing trend of two per year until 1997, at which point the trend then shifted upward again, with publication frequency increasing by approximately 3.5 per year until 2016.

In fact, there was an overall trend that vertical precision was lower than horizontal precision ( Table 2 , see individual and Average values for horizontal and vertical SDs).

Near-significant inverse associations were observed between dietary intake of carotenoids or lycopene and hip fracture (higher vs lower intakes; carotenoids OR: 0.72 (0.51, 1.01); lycopene OR: 0.84 (0.69, 1.01)) [ 38 ].

The prescription rates seem to show a decreasing trend over time.

Effects of different LS and NAM on yield and its components Drip irrigation lateral spacing and nitrogen application modes both executed highly significant effects on the grain yield.

Kirby and Guastello [ 25 ] replicated the significant effect of the suggested condition on choice for food rewards, although this effect for monetary rewards fell short of significance.

The results are consistent with the global studies that have shown an increasing trend in caesarean section use during the last decade [ 3 ].

Among INSTIs, Dolutegravir decreased the IL-10 levels with a tendency toward statistical significance ( Table 5 ), but this must be carefully interpreted since it reflects only four patients.

(2) From 2006 to 2015, China’s embodied carbon imports generally showed an increasing trend except falling slightly from 2013 to 2015.

The difference with respect to platelet counts was borderline significant ( p value of 0.049) with 262 [IQR 215–342] being the baseline platelet counts for patient with any CTCAE grade 0–1 and 207 [IQR 170–327] for patients with any CTCAE grade 2 haematotoxicity.

As shown in Fig 7 , with increasing NaCl stress, the SA k , Na , ST k , Na , SA Ca , Na, and ST Ca , Na all showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.

Because the ecological environment of the salinization area is fragile and natural conditions are limited by many factors, it is highly significant to develop and use saline-alkali land scientifically and rationally while under pressure from a rapid population increase and a sharp decline in land resources; the goal is to advance towards the sustainable and healthy development of China’s forestry and ecological environment [ 4 ].

A similar relationship was observed between Action Naming and Discourse Production, with correlation between Action Naming and Sentence Production trending towards significance.

Finally, persons defining themselves as more religious also had a higher (although marginally significant) likelihood of delaying the use of medical services.

Being incarcerated in the last six months remained marginally significant (AdjRR: 1.49; 95% CI: 0.97–2.27).

Thus, it cannot be ruled out that certain symptom constellations are more likely to be significant than others, which may be more common in underrepresented user groups.

Amongst these, four showed a trend to increase with disease stage.

The effect of F×M was highly significant for all traits, revealing that non-additive genetic effects (overdominance) explain a large part of the variance of these traits and can thus contribute to the efficient recombination of breeding populations ( Table 4 ).

With this calculation, it is not surprising that the difference for CMCT-LL is highly significant.

Beluga DPH followed an expected continued presence throughout the sampled period of May to September with two typical peak periods, one in spring and another in mid-summer, followed by a decreasing trend by late summer and early fall matching previous descriptions e.g., [ 30 , 55 , 86 ].

PDR to NNRTIs showed an increasing trend.

All were lower than the American mean (100+ 15) with highly significant differences.
