Excerpts

The higher mortality in patients with an increasing trend in WBC count can be due to treatment effects, generalized systemic inflammation and secondary bacterial infection, and the biological mechanisms merit further investigation.

As can be seen from Fig 5 , there is a highly significant negative correlation between the number of wheat powdery mildew spores and relative humidity [ 42 ], with high air humidity being detrimental to the formation and spread of conidia.

In the multivariable analysis, in the last step of the backward analysis, male sex, higher perceived family socio-economic status, high satisfaction with school, high classmate support, not being bullied at school, high support of family and friends (the latter with marginal significance) were singled out as independent predictors of high life satisfaction.

Support of friends was marginally significant, while support of family had a protective effect on the presence of psychosomatic health complaints.

Notably, there has been an increasing trend in reporting.

This difference is completely significant.

In conclusion, the proportion of lower vulnerable class areas of the atmospheric environment in the PRD from 2016 to 2020 shows a significant trend of increasing.

The proportion of the tertiary industry, primarily comprising the financial and service sectors, has generally shown an increasing trend.

Evidently the reduction in capacity could be quite significant.

However, upon decomposition of the actual data into trends, it was revealed that a decreasing trend in milk production could be observed over the period 2008–2014.

As shown in Fig 7A , the correlation coefficient of seed GP with Z-(linolic acid) was −0.612, indicating a highly significant negative correlation, whereas that with r-(2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydro-6-methyl-4 (h)-pyran-4-one) was 0.791, indicating a highly significant positive correlation.

hexandrum seed showed an increasing trend at the late stage of stratification.

hexandrum showed a decreasing trend during stratification and were positively correlated with the T50 of P . hexandrum seeds.

The two concentration maps exhibited spatial heterogeneity and an overall trend of high values in the west and low values in the east.

The overall national-level prevalence of overweight/obesity among Saudi adults in the last two decades showed a decreasing trend, with 36.9% overweight and 35.6% obesity between 1995 and 2000 [ 32 ], 28.7% obesity in 2013 [ 33 ], and 24.7% obesity in 2020 [ 34 ].

Similarly, we observed a clear trend of increasing MAVs for all muscles, except for SOL and VL, during stair descent.

Based on the estimated results from the GMM, findings show that for both the extensive and intensive margin the p-value corresponding to F-statistic is 0.000 which is highly significant at less than 1 percent level.

In its evaluations at baseline, 1 week, and 2 week, the scores for the Aroma-Seal Use Group appeared to show a decreasing trend ( S1 Table ).

After simulation analysis, we find that when the grain size is 470m, there is a clear trend of regularity.

Results manifest that: (1) Overall, from 2005 to 2021, its spatial distribution features of landscape ecological risk level are relatively-high and high in the middle, and gradually reduce in the north-south direction, as shown below: the relatively-low ecological risk areas are widely spread, and the overall risk index decrease from 0.1944 to 0.1940; the area of low and high-level ecological risk areas show a decreasing trend, which decrease by 5.0102 km 2 and 1.3132 km 2 respectively; the area of relatively-low, middle, and relatively-high-level ecological risk areas increase by 0.2655 km 2 , 3.7803 km 2 , and 2.4852 km 2 , respectively.

The analyses show large and highly significant effects of policy (dis)agreement on assessments of both the specific decision and views about the Supreme Court generally.

In housing studies, Commercial tobacco smoking is a highly significant predictor of endotoxin in settled dust [ 44 ].

To date, some studies have linked problematic goal attainment with rumination: For instance, results of an experience-sampling study [ 15 ] revealed that low goal success and high goal importance was associated with high levels of negative affect, and that this interaction was marginally significant for ruminative self-focus.

The average difference in the proportion of yes-answers is 38%-points and all 5 differences are statistically highly significant.

Such an ecological strategy may be significant in areas harboring multispecies weed communities.
