Excerpts

However, since the effect sizes were very small (eta squared for the Alpha VOC = .029 and the clinical setting = .004), there was only a slight trend towards higher viral loads of the Alpha VOC compared to wtV.

In line with our previous results, multivariable analysis showed a trend towards higher antibody levels in stunted compared with non-stunted children (regression coefficient 0.92, 95% CI -0.015–1.85, Table 3 ).

However, the SPRDSS in some provinces have not formed the dissipative structure, but their discriminant values are on a decreasing trend.

In western China, the discriminant values showed an increasing trend as a whole, but the values of some provinces show relatively slow growth.

A significant effect of sex and treatment was found, as well as a marginally significant sex*treatment interaction, but no effect of exposure type ( Table 3 ).

Overall, results showed comparable mortality with a weak trend of slightly higher mortality for males and slightly lower mortality for females in some sub-lethal parental treatments.

Sub-lethal exposure had largely similar effects on survival across insecticides and showed a trend of hormesis, as survivorship was the same or higher than the control treatments in at least one sub-lethal dose for each insecticide ( Fig 2A–2E ).

However, since the correlation between word disgust and arousal was still significant albeit small (r = 0.2, p < .04), we added arousal as a predictor in all our models (it turned out to be only marginally significant in 1 out of 6 models).

We find that ( Fig 2C ) the performance of our method shows an increasing trend with the decrease of λ CT and λ TD , but it starts to trend down when λ CT and λ TD decrease beyond 10 −3 .

Overall, the GUHS adolescents showed a trend towards less subcutaneous adipose tissue measured on ultrasound, and an increase in visceral and preperitoneal adipose tissue compared to the Raine Study adolescents.

The CV values of Patrick showed a decreasing trend from east to west.

Addition of higher arginine concentrations showed a trend for higher ATP production, although this was not statistically significant ( Fig 4 ).

Between 2007 to 2018 the cereal import dependency in Colombia kept over 60% and the crops and livestock products import dependency ratio had an increasing trend since 2003, achieving 9.94% in 2018 [ 61 ].

Other indicators to identify the current situation and some results of the Colombian Plan of Food Security and Nutrition is the food price inflation, by 2008 in 12.38%, with a decreasing trend until 2016 when drastically raise (12.68%) and low in 2018 until 0.88% [ 61 ].

Patients with the lowest TNF-α production capacity showed a clear trend toward lower monocyte numbers in blood.

In singleton pregnancies, the perinatal mortality rate was the lowest between 39 and 41 weeks of gestation, while in multiple pregnancies, the perinatal mortality rate showed an increasing trend after 38 weeks of gestation.

The perinatal mortality rates of both singleton and multiple pregnancies showed a decreasing trend between 22 and 37 weeks of gestation.

P > 0.05, indicated that the difference was not statistically significant; 0.01 < P < 0.05 indicated that the difference was significant; and P < 0.01 indicated that the difference was extremely significant.

However, diagnostic and prescription errors may be significant sources of iatrogenic damages, worsening the patients’ illnesses resulting in more complex health care resources that may require hospitalization [ 7 ].

It was found that there was a highly significant correlation (r 2 = 0.960) between the values for haemolymph L-lactate obtained using the two methods.

Overall, our data suggest that even in a relatively small plot area (about two ha), site-specific variability may be significant and should be taken into consideration for sampling procedures and characterization of leaf traits under field conditions. 4.2 Ozone-induced VFS in Viburnum lantana are associated with thicker leaves and higher frequency of trichomes with a significant within-plant x environment effect The tropospheric ozone concentrations observed in Trentino for 2020 were in line with those causing VFS in V . lantana [ 19 ].

Although there are no obvious changes in most conch parameters at septum 13, the change in δ 13 C appears to coincide with the onset of a decreasing trend of WER ( Fig 6E and 6F ).

While the female exhibits a stable WWI after a conch diameter of 80 mm, the male shows an increasing trend.

et al found an increasing trend in clinical trial protocol complexity across phase I, II and III clinical trials based on 9373 protocols of which 76% were protocols provided by large companies [ 3 ].

The results suggest that the decay parameters are highly significant for both models.
