Excerpts

The interaction effect between intensity and its spatial aggregation was highly significant (with significant differences for both intercepts and slopes; Table 4 ), and the model had good predictive ability (cross-validation error = 5%).

In Groups A and C, the tumors exhibited an apparent trend to increase in size with time.

Moreover, in the rs3759475 polymorphism, genotypes CT and TT showed a trend for lower risk in the VALCAR sample and were associated with a lower risk for obesity in the Hortega population.

After adjustment, habitual smoking before or during pregnancy became marginally significant, parity≥1 and multiple pregnancies were no longer significant but weight gain from pre-pregnancy to GCT was significantly associated with the risk of GDM ( Table 4 ).

This growth difference was quite significant during the actively dividing logarithmic phase but a gradual recovery was observed as the cells approached stationary phase.

In this study, overexpression of miR-517a/b and miR-517c resulted in a highly significant decrease in trophoblast invasion suggesting that the increased miR-517a/b and miR-517c seen in preeclamptic placentas may target genes known to regulate trophoblast function early in pregnancy.

1 showed only a difference between the fish oil diet and control diet in ST3Gal IV-KO mice in center access of the open field tests; however, a little significant difference may have resulted from the small sample size.

Production of C6 compounds such as ( E )-2-hexenal and hexanal were positively correlated with alcohols such as 1-hexanol, ( Z )-3-hexen-1-ol, and ( E )-2-hexen-1-ol; the correlation between ( E )-2-hexenal and the associated alcohols was positive and highly significant (r = 0.95, 0.90, and 0.65, respectively), and that between hexenal and related alcohols was 0.78, 0.60, and 0.31, respectively.

However, there were marginally significant differences in the number of full songs, and no significant differences in the number of whisper calls or songs without introductory notes given by focal males during the control playback period as compared to during the treatment playback period of the experiment (Wilcoxon normal approximations: Z = 1.92, N = 30, p = 0.055, Z = 0.131, N = 30, p = 0.8956, Z = 0.038, N = 30, p = 0.9697, full songs, whisper calls, and no introductory note songs respectively, Fig. 4 ).

No males swooped during the pre-playback period, and so there was a highly significant difference between the number of swoops performed by males in the pre-playback period as compared to the control playback and treatment playback periods (pre-playback vs. control playback: Z = 3.39, N = 30, p = 0.007, pre-playback vs. treatment playback: Z = 3.73, N = 30, p = 0.0002, Fig. 4 bottom panel).

An increase in these datasets resulted in highly significant p -values (< 0.001) for the GO-BL (gene ontology, biological function), KEGG, and Reactome pathway analyses.

At small scales, variation in local assembly mechanisms might be significant but weak relative to sampling effects owing to variation in species pools.

Unlike the changes in the other two subsets, the increase in FOXP3+ cells was only marginally significant.

Similarly, highly significant negative associations were found when the collapsed protein score was compared between G3 and G4/5, G3 and metastatic cancer, and G4/5 and metastatic cancer (all p<0.0001, Table 2 , Fig. 2 ). 5.

In addition, the number of blood platelet in TRF and model groups showed a decreasing trend when compared to the negative control group.

Interestingly, except for female mice, c-myc expression in male mice showed an increasing trend accompanying with increasing doses of TRF.

For the second session Phantom showed a trend towards an improvement in speech intelligibility with respect to the F120 strategy, however results were not statistically significant after Bonferroni correction (36.96% F120 and 48.07% Phantom t(10) = 2.449, p = 0.034).

In the present study, the mean level of 3-HPMA in urine from women who did non-frying cooking was lower than those who did frying cooking, but the difference was statistically borderline significant due to the small sample size of non-frying cooking.

In contrast the wild-type animals showed an increasing trend in punctate p62 containing bodies together with a decrease in specific tension (albeit not reaching significant levels).

As evident from distance calculation, we found that His443 interacts electrostatically with γ-phosphate group for first 5 ns which goes on an increasing trend thereafter till 50 ns ( Fig. 9 ) which supports the earlier studies by Hu et al .

simultaneous white rot [Z = 4.12, H = 16.94, DF = 1, P < 0.0001] were highly significant), including selective versus simultaneous white rot, but also showed how the lignin selectivity among white rot fungi was higher in earlier stages of decomposition and more distinguishing in decay class II than in class III.

7 , the Borough’s crime rate, does not have a clear trend in terms of its categories.

The graph clearly shows a decreasing trend, which also indicates spatial dependency.

The magnitude of the association remained similar, and highly significant even with adjustment for known factors associated with childhood asthma such as maternal history of asthma (as measured by asthma medication use during pregnancy), maternal smoking during pregnancy and other socio-contextual factors (adjusted OR = 2.70, 95% CI, 1.59–4.69).

P <0.05 was considered significant and P <0.01 was considered extremely significant.
