After stratifying the estimates by gender, video gaming time among males is strongly associated with peers’ video gaming time while the association for females is only marginally statistically significant.

The only exception was TNF-alpha , which at a p-value of 0.06, showed a trend towards significance but did not meet the threshold.

Both show an expected trend.

It is interesting that the difference was much bigger for the 4C stages, given that although cells in the 2C→4C stage comprised up to 15% of the clonal culture, the transition was not completed, given that the percentage of 4C-stage cells was almost insignificant (<1%).

This partly explains an increasing trend of community deliveries [ 20 , 24 , 25 , 27 ].

It is interesting to see that the destruction rates peak at seawall heights of 5 meters, afterwhich there is a decreasing trend suggesting that seawalls higher than 5 meters have been effective in reducing building damage.

Unexpectedly, there is even a mild trend towards an increase of the system mortality rate towards higher cutoff levels for annual admission volume.

Nevertheless, the broad selection criteria for studies was intended to capture all the studies pertinent to the study question, and this flexibility allowed for a marked trend to be discovered across studies of different characteristics.

In our culture model, we did not observe a clear trend in baseline Ca 2+ levels, or a reduction in peak amplitude or sustained levels after stimulation ( Fig 1 ).

However, analysis of hepatitis C patients who received treatment showed a trend toward a lower likelihood of treatment in patients with lower income levels.

Although this kind of studies remains very scarce for the Iris genus, the chromosomal locations of 5S and 35S rDNA loci have been previously determined for seven species of subgenus Xiphium [ 40 ], with a possible trend of increased 35S rDNA loci number during the diversification of the group.

While the strength of this association was relatively weak (only borderline significant at the 10% level) among all partnerships involving 16–24 year old women–indicating the need for further research to tests this relationship–concurrency was identified as a particularly strong risk factor associated with age-disparate partnerships among adolescent (16 to 19 year old) women.

As stated above, the results of these previously published systematic reviews showed a significant trend towards increased compliance to therapy favoring the fixed combination therapy, however these results were largely based on retrospective data.

The results of the pooled analysis of the three trials showed a nonsignificant trend towards better blood pressure control (risk ratio 1.11 95% CI 0.92, 1.33) favoring the fixed combination group.

A clear trend can be seen with an increase in concentration causing an increase in droplet size and an increase in atomisation pressure causing a decrease in droplet size, with the effect of pump rate being more complex.

3 a decreasing trend in velocity is observed.

pertussis bacteria harvested after the addition of sulfate (vaccine B-E) displayed a clear trend towards lower hTLR4 activation than our reference vaccine derived from this bacterial culture before sulfate was added (vaccine A ref ), we wanted to gain more insight into the relative contribution of hTLR4- and hTLR2-mediated signalling to overall vaccine-induced activation of APC.

Our results show an increasing trend in IFBSCP values starting in the first years of the new millennium.

This study found highly significant differences for all three variables of emotional reactivity (valence, arousal and irritation) as well as for the level of SCRs between the laughing and crying conditions.

Accordingly, GLM analysis showed highly significant effects of salinity, temperature, taxa and body length ( Fig 3 ), with significant taxa*salinity, taxa*temperature and salinity*temperature interactions ( Table 1 ).

Heat shock had a marginally significant effect on reducing the area of yellow pigmentation in eyespot 5 ( Fig 5 ).

For every 30 points improvement in diet on the DHQ, there were 33% lower odds of having had any relapse in the previous 12 months, although this association became marginally non-significant on multiple imputation ( S2 Table ).

Such a difference is associated with 28% lower likelihood of being moderately disabled and marginally significant 33% lower risk of relapse over the prior year in our analysis.

The total solid phase S profile shows a slightly increasing trend with depth until ~ 50 cm and peaks in S generally correlate well with those in sedimentary Mo.

An increasing trend in the level of 14,15-EET in t- AUCB-treated WT versus WT mice was observed at baseline and post-ischemia, but was not significant (p > 0.05, Fig 3A ).
