Current relations between land use and stream ecology Correlations between urban land use (Urban2009, the total urban class in NLCD2009m) and the sensitive invertebrate and fish metrics for the 75 SESQA sites are strong and highly significant (rho = 0.78 and 0.63, respectively, and p-valuesr<0.001) ( Table 1 ; Fig 3 ).

In addition, the VD of both PAR and NIR wood reflectance parameters displayed an increasing trend over time, but importantly the direction of elasticity differed across the wood parameters indicating that increasing wood PAR/NIR reflectance decreases/increases the Bowen Ratio.

During the past 27 years, the mortality of HIV/AIDS in all age subgroups showed an increasing trend for both males and females.

Although there was a significant trend among all adults, the joinpoint analysis confirmed the trend of increasing again in 2016 as an inflection point.

The unadjusted model results indicate that GDP per capita growth rates were roughly 2 percentage points lower in both groups of PEPFAR countries than comparison group countries at baseline and these differences were highly significant statistically.

It is an interesting trend, as previous data have shown a predominance of adult men with CF as being overweight or obese [ 11 ].

The results suggest a clear trend of solutions primarily supporting the challenging surgical phases of hilar and vascular management (I) and tumour excision (II).

Dose-response analyses of data from five studies revealed a significant trend; current smokers who smoked higher amount of tobacco had a higher risk of CAP.

Sensitivity of the LIA was significantly better for aPA, aPI and aPS IgG, and aPA IgM and approached significance for aPS IgM.

The age groups 15–59 and 60 years old and above had an increasing trend, but the incidence rate variation trend was insignificant at level of 95% ( Fig 2 ).

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.

The presence of prior severe hypoglycemic episodes showed a trend toward increased risk of DPN but were not significant.

Although vertebral number variation did not account for a large amount of the variation in body shape and was only marginally significant, the variation observed was consistent with our prediction.

Protein synthesis in trisomy 18 cells showed a consistently increasing trend, although the increase was marginally significant, possibly because of the variability among these trisomy cells.

Depending on the target tissues, the cell-cycle effects of the translational changes implicated here could either be highly significant, or very minor (if the target cells of the circulating miRNAs are fully differentiated).

The temperature at which the speed reached its maximum was lower under hypoxia (25.13°C) than under normoxia (28.87°C), although this difference was only nearly statistically significant.

However, Y2 receptor inhibition resulted in a statistical trend toward longer rears ( Fig 7H ).

As due to the large sample size the χ 2- test was very likely to be significant, additional indices were taken into account [ 59 ].

In 2014, these numbers were 152 and 4047, respectively, which means there is an increasing trend.

Furthermore, all the results of t-score are highly significant which shows that there is significant difference exist between IPWR similarity measure method and its competitor similarity measure methods.

A recent work [ 29 ] showed a trend of soil eutrophication in forest fragments located in the same study area, with significant increases in calcium, phosphorus and potassium, while another similar study [ 65 ] observed that the higher the fertilizer application intensity in agricultural areas, the higher the nutrient content in nearby forest fragments.

Fig 2H shows that increasing A 2 results in a decreasing trend in the velocity component g ( η ).

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.
