Excerpts

There were no statistically significant differences in hit rate, false alarm rate, sensitivity index or response bias between the two groups although response bias approached significance.

Although this is a possible explanation for the variability of the production during the End phase, it does not explain why speakers showed a trend to first return to the Baseline target and then move away from it again.

In addition, the diallel model yielded highly significant gca effects of the female parents.

ICW/H 2 and ECW/H 2 exhibited an increasing trend in accordance with the TBW/H 2 quartile.

All of these sources, and particularly their mothers, may be significant sources of menstrual misinformation [ 17 , 58 ].

Among these risk factors, a clear trend of increased risk was observed for alcohol consumption and smoking (linear trend test P <0.0001 for both variables).

Salt preference and alcohol consumption had were marginally significant (< 0.1; these variables were thus included in the model), and meal regularity and physical activity had no effect on gastric cancer incidence in women.

Similar results were found for men, and only meal regularity had marginal significance.

This suggests intrafamilial HBV transmission may be significant in Ghana, warranting further research.

A significance level of P <0.05 indicated a statistically significant difference, while P <0.01 denoted a highly significant statistical difference.

In Romania, the overall incidence of tuberculosis was approximately 100 cases per 100,000 population in 2011, with a decreasing trend from an incidence of 142 per 100,000 population in 2002, but the number of severe cases of TB in children (meningoencephalitis, miliary, cavitary) still maintains a high annual rate (65/100,000 in 2011) [ 4 ].

Health outcomes demonstrate a positive trend for all groups between 1999 and 2010 (Tables 6 and 8 , Fig 2e–2g ).

All but one of the 13 respondents who perceived a negative trend in manatee numbers blamed it on hunting pressure (6 respondents) and/or reduced water level (7 respondents).

Also, the total fraction of cycling cells, as measured by pKi67 staining, showed a highly significant reduction on exposure to dexamethasone treatment at both concentrations.

Figure 4a: is the decrease for the MF group between timepoint 3 and 4 significant? The discussion is missing why there may be a decreasing trend between that two timepoints and an increasing trend after that.

A notable trend in Fig 2 is that lower bounds of IAA increased for all categories between rounds 1 and 3, and significantly so for most categories.

The relationship between ΣPCBs in resting females compared to pregnant (p = 0.065) and lactating (p = 0.066) females was almost significant, having controlled for other factors.

If we first focus on the examples for market parameters in the bistable regime (first column, a = 5 · 10 −4 , h 0 = 10 −3 ), we find a highly significant autocorrelation of absolute returns which only falls off slowly, in accordance with previous empirical literature [ 2 , 4 , 58 , 59 ].

ively at interventions delivered in the late phase of stroke recovery; one finding no benefit,[ 17 ] and the other (based on a single study) finding strong evidence of benefit.[ 21 ] Two reviews reported measures of community reintegration,[ 22 , 23 ] both of reasonable quality, and both identified a significant trend favouring therapy intervention.

On the other hand, our cost analysis showed a trend towards decreased cost in the HAG.

Several studies provide increasing evidence that such variable Aβ peptides may be significant in AD pathogenesis [ 6 – 9 ].

In the EU, trust declined (nearly 7.7%) from June to September and exhibited an increasing trend afterwards.

In species collected from sufficiently large geographic areas, the intraspecific variation was non-randomly distributed and showed highly significant negative correlation with latitude (in 2x A . alpinum and 4x A . odoratum ) and a less pronounced but still significant association with altitude (positive in 2x A . alpinum and negative both in the “Mediterranean diploid” and 4x A . odoratum ) ( Table 2 , S1 Fig ).

Between-group statistical differences were assessed using unpaired t -tests, with p < 0.05 used to define a significant difference and p < 0.0001 used to define a highly significant difference.

A clear trend was only seen in the postmenopausal group and in those who were nonsmokers (overall trend p-values of 0.004 and 0.023 respectively).
