Collectively, child-level factors contributed to the modeling of all beverage types and external school environment measures were highly significant to the sweetened beverage model fit.

A large positive value of S indicates an increasing trend, whereas a large negative value indicates a decreasing trend.

The authors compare a variety of drought indices in this highly significant region.

However, the rate of increase gradually diminishes, reflecting a clear trend of diminishing marginal benefits.

The significance levels were determined according to the following criteria: an F-value greater than F0.01(2,2) indicated a highly significant effect (***), an F-value between F0.05(2,2) and F0.01(2,2) indicated a moderately significant effect (**), and an F-value between F0.1(2,2) and F0.05(2,2) indicated a generally significant effect (*).

The incidence of prion disease is estimated to be a few cases per million people each year, but there have been reports of an increasing trend in the past [ 2 , 3 ].

6A ) now exhibit nearly no change, except for Hulus M (11) which shows a negative trend.

At a few sites there is a positive trend and better recruitment.

Splenocytes from KO mice activated with anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28, which normally triggers cytokine mRNA stabilization and accumulation [4] , [13] , showed significantly less IFN-γ and IL-2 mRNA compared to WT (p<0.03 and p<0.008, respectively) while CXCL-10 mRNA was reduced by 50% but did not quite reach significance ( figure 1A ).

The chi-square test for independence for all three datasets combinations ( Table 5 ) were highly significant showing strong association among the three pairwise comparison The availability of genome sequence information of Nipponbare [17] and 93-11 [18] allowed us to predict in-silico SFP candidates between above genetically diverged japonica and indica sub-species of rice respectively.

6 ) and the alpha value of the two other comparisons was close to significance.

We observed an interesting trend towards a stronger protective effect of KIR2DS1 and/or KIR3DS1 in the presence of EBV, detected in either HL tumour cells or in peripheral mononuclear blood cells.

Among receptive females there was no relationship between initial body mass and the quality of males visited; however, receptive females that visited high-quality males spent more energy on mate choice, lost more mass, and showed a strong trend towards developing smaller follicles ( Fig 2a–c ).

Females that spent more time on the territories of high-quality, high-activity males displayed greater energetic expenditure on mate choice, lost more mass, and showed a trend towards producing smaller follicles.

DAP12-/- and FcRγ-/- mice showed a trend toward a decrease of trabecular thickness in OVX group, but didn't reach statistical significance at 6 weeks post-procedure.

Our finding of a statistically-significant F is of 0.18 is consistent with previous analyses: Anderson et al [39] obtained highly significant F is values of 0.7 to 1.0 in a preliminary analysis, and Razakandrainibe et al [2] reported F is ≈0.15,.

Our results revealed that on day 8 relative to the β-Gal control cells PERKΔC expressing cells displayed only a marginal trend towards reduced apoptosis ( Fig 5C, top row and 5D ).

This may be significant to understand the mechanism of chronic damage caused by methanol toxicity and formaldehyde stress [18] , [28] .

Those who had received four doses in infancy had an increased OR for an anamnestic response after two weeks which remained borderline significant after one year compared to those who had received three doses ( table 5 ).

Borderline significance on log likelihood testing for interactions between monitoring period and vaccination was seen.

In this respect, it may be significant that parthenogenetic H. binoei have evolved greater aerobic endurance at low temperature when compared with their sexual relatives [44] .

It is also worth considering the phase relationship of the three quantities that show somewhat significant spectral peaks in the vicinity of 27 Myr: fractional biodiversity (φ∼4); extinction intensity (φ∼5); and cumulative origination φ∼2).

This marginally significant peak appears to survive in slightly modified form through most data cuts.

In asthma studies, it has been proposed that 3′UTR polymorphisms may be significant [32] , although functional investigations of some of them have so far been unsuccessful [33] .

Indeed, both the test of positive selection (model A; see Methods and [29] ) and its variant (model B; see Methods and [30] ) have highly significant P -values ( Table 1 ).
