Excerpts

Here the nominally significant findings may be considered as in the context of low power to detect the relatively weak association expected at a marker in a complex genetic trait like musical aptitude [40] .

After controlling for these significant effects, we found clear, although marginally non-significant, trend for differences between overall birth-order categories (all siblings of both sexes considered) in their probability of surviving to adulthood, with firstborns being disadvantaged, and lastborns having the best chances of surviving (χ 2 2 = 5.76, p = 0.056; Figure 2a ).

In none of these analyses a significant trend for the categories good, median and poor survival was achieved.

Also, genes in F 1 male CNS and F 1 testis overlapped with a borderline significance ( Fig. 3 ).

The increase in fatty acid ingestion may be significant, since fatty acids (particularly n-6) can promote differentiation of preadipocytes into mature adipocytes [69] , which express leptin [20] .

11D ), although the latter demonstrated a strong trend for reduction in astroglial scarring with an increase in hCNS-SCns engraftment. hFb engraftment also did not correlate with the area occupied by the NG2 proteoglycan ( Fig. 12D ) (Pearson r : r = 0.01, p = 0.98, 2-tailed t-test ); as well, no significant correlations between hFb engraftment and GFAP-positive astrogliosis ( Pearson r : r = 0.22, p = 0.63, 2-tailed t-test ) were observed ( Fig. 12D ), but interestingly and again in contrast to hCNS-SCns, there was a strong yet non-significant trend for an increase in astroglial scarring with an increase in hFb number.

Therefore, a weakly significant score would point to lesser agreements between proteins.

In contrast, in the implanted animals (i) the first noticeable decrease in amplitude of the rhythm was delayed by 3 months and (ii) the 24 h period remained highly significant until death ( Figs 3 , 4 ).

The difference in MVC between the normal and blocked states was highly significant for both monkeys (paired t-tests, p≪.001).

The difference in the total number of cocoons per cluster produced by females mated to diploid males and by females mated to haploid males fell just short of significance, indicating a trend towards females mated to diploid males to lay more eggs.

In contrast, the highly significant q 2 and r 2 values for the steric and electrostatic fields document that the QSAR data obtained reflect the real binding of a ligand to its protein target, possibly a receptor, rather than non-specific interactions [51] .

There was a highly significant and strong main effect of habitat but no main effect of lake, indicating only a weak historical signal of lake origin ( Table 1 ).

There was an interesting trend in the expression of signal transduction genes and transcription factor genes.

However, although a decreasing trend of N9 haplogroups was still observed from middle-aged subjects (8.6%), elderly (7.1%) and EL subjects (5.3%) in female samples, the statistical significance originally observed in all subjects diminished, which may be due to lack of statistic power ( Table 3 ).

There was no significant difference in tool length for Pierre across conditions, but this test approached significance and was in the predicted direction ( H = 7.03, df = 3, p adjusted = 0.07), suggesting that Pierre's behaviour was not fully insensitive to the demands of the task.

These results are highly significant even when adjusting for multiple testing in MAPPFinder (Adjusted p-value).

In contrast, the only significant respiratory capacity change observed upon knockdown of two complex I assembly homologues was a marginally significant decrease in complex I-dependent OXPHOS capacity in NDUFAF1 .

Comparing responses of the four sterilely protected monkeys with the six unprotected animals in the DNA/Pox and Ad/Pox groups, only the MSP1 ELISA and ELISPOT showed a trend toward higher values in the sterilely protected monkeys but this was not statistically significant (data not shown).

Results from logistic regression analyses in 162 subjects with IGT or T2D and 308 glucose-tolerant subjects showed corresponding notable estimates, although of borderline significance.

The maintenance of regional identity of HFK cells was exemplified by these markers' abundance in EpCAM neg and EpCAM dim fractions as well as by analyzing sorted NCAM expressing cell subpopulations (including its embryonic form, PSA-NCAM) and showing mostly highly significant differences in genes that are well-established early markers of kidney stem/progenitor cells ( Six2, Wt1, Pax2, Cited1, and Sall1 ).

These observations were supported by SANS analysis that revealed the highest proportion of unimers and dimers around the optimal salt concentration, although the coexistent larger aggregates showed a trend of increasing size with salt concentration, consistent with the DLS data.

Inference was aided by GraphPad InStat (version 3.00, GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) Results MAP detection MAP DNA was amplified from the blood of 33 out of 59 T1DM patients (55.9%) whereas MAP was detected only in 18 out of 79 healthy controls (22.7%) indicating a statistically highly significant difference ( Table 1 ).

Expression of the chaperone hspa 8 showed a trend towards increased expression at 3 hours.

There was a slight trend towards an increase in the frequency of systemic AE with increasing peptide dose but this was statistically significant only for arthralgia ( p = 0.0455).

In contrast, the nuclear and mitochondrially-encoded mitochondrial genes both show an increasing trend in expression level across development.
