Excerpts

In the same direction, other research has shown that a low digit ratio is associated with anger, hostility, physical aggression (and verbal aggression approaching significance), total sensation seeking, thrill and adventure seeking [ 76 ], less precautionary behavior [ 36 , 37 ], and with risk taking in women [ 77 ].

Hospital admission rates and costs for IBD show an increasing trend assessed by specific pharmaceutical and disease features [ 15 – 19 , 21 – 26 ].

ṄO 3 roots showed an increasing trend ( Fig 3 ), leading to δ 15 N NDI values non-significantly different form the reference zero value ( S10 Table ). ṄH 4 roots showed substantially the same pattern observed for ṄH 4 leaves ( Fig 3 ), with a significant decrease from 90 to 120 d corresponding to negative δ 15 N NDI value at the final stage ( S10 Table ) indicating 15 N depletion in DNA.

In general, a significant part of the subsequent data of this scenario remained within the acceptance range, with a slight trend of underestimation.

Notably, NR3C1 methylation further correlated inversely with childhood trauma, particularly emotional abuse, which just failed to reach significance after correction for multiple testing.

The same risk or protective explanatory variables were identified using both univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression, except for dyspnoea ( p -value was close to the limit of significance for the final regression modelling).

The change of the system dynamic stiffness indicates that as the ambient pressure increases from 0.1 MPa to 0.5 MPa, the main dynamic stiffness S xx and S yy of the gas bearing show increasing trends, while the cross dynamic stiffness S xy and S yx show gradually decreasing trends; as the rotating speed of bearing continues to increase, the main dynamic stiffness of the gas bearing increases, while the cross dynamic stiffness shows a decreasing trend.

In other years, the coefficients are hardly significant, which confirms that the baseline results are not driven by any general trend in the outcomes or by seasonal patterns that are different in the two groups of children.

It can be found that the grain production efficiency in China’s main grain producing areas showed the features of uneven spatial development from 2001 to 2017, which generally showed a trend of decline from the central region to the eastern and western regions.

The sentence "the overall food supply will be severely tested" indicates: as mentioned above, China's cultivated land supply has been insufficient and will show a decreasing trend in the future, which will directly lead to the shortage of grain supply, so the overall grain supply will be severely tested.

Finally, POL rate was considered through the years showing a decreasing trend in the last 4 years, from the highest value of 14.7% reported in 2016 to the lowest value of 2% registered during 2019 (p.020) ( Fig 3 ).

Thrombin activity showed a trend towards decrease in the non-ischemic hemisphere of the PAR1 KO as well ( Fig 3C ) with spatial variations ( Fig 3D ).

Conclusions While our pragmatic randomized study showed a positive trend among patients receiving text messages, no firm conclusions may yet be drawn regarding glycemic control, due to above mentioned limitations.

There may be significant differences between experiences of non-binary people who are blending as their gender assigned at birth and those who are blending as another gender.

If insured households are no longer willing to help uninsured households in need, there is a clear trend that this leads to lower survival rates among uninsured households.

There was a significant trend in the current study data, and we believe that the 20-second test is reasonable for 8-year-old children.

The signs of the coefficients for registered buyers are thus the same as for the other groups while they remain highly significant.

This experiments reported here, however, are a continuation of Cooper et al (2018) where we found highly significant differences in subjective and objective measures (effect sizes Cohen’s d=3.8, objective, and d=5.63, subjective) when comparing the two VR conditions chosen for the experiments reported in this study.

Recently, a decreasing trend in frequency of the 184F allele around the same period, was reported from the neighboring Guinea-Bissau [ 21 , 63 ].

Nevertheless, a clear trend in increased mortality among the patients with poor temperature control highlights the usefulness of this noninvasively and easily obtained parameter for evaluating patients’ prognoses.

The self care subscore showed a trend towards higher functional outcome in matched MDRO-negative patients at the intermediate and late stage but without significant difference (p = 0.07 and p = 0.21, respectively).

Although firm conclusions were limited by the low number of dogs studied and by the variability in absolute measures from dog to dog ( S1 Table ), the low dose cohort of four dogs showed a trend toward improvement in all but TTJ angle ( Table 1 ).

The rest areas, centering on Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Dongguan, show a decreasing trend with the increase of distance.

Highly significant differences in CpG methylation were observed for multiple intergenic/extragenic sites throughout the genome.

In addition to the cesarean delivery (32.4% versus 21.0%) and preterm birth (14.6% versus 10.9%), the almost twice death rates (2.7% versus 1.4% in neonatal death, and 0.09% versus 0.05% in maternal deaths) may be significant too.
