Excerpts

Between 08:00 and 16:00, PAR and Temp was at its lowest in T1 and VPD was at its highest; PAR, Temp, and VPD were all moderate in T2; and PAR, Temp, and VPD in CK showed a trend opposite to that of T1.

Alternatively, if the histogram shows a peak at values far away from 1, it indicates a weak trend.

Thus, in this route to abrupt transition, we will observe no critical slowing down but an increasing trend of variance and power spectrum at all frequencies ( Fig 3 ).

We estimate the Kendall’s τ rank correlation, using the Kendall package, to determine whether the indicators show an increasing or a decreasing trend in the period 1 year prior to the crash.

Either way, the majority of the population (53%) did not favour a future increase in the tiger population, suggesting that there is likely to be significant community opposition or obstruction to conservation actions intended to expand the tiger population.

This value was selected and used for all further data analyses because a) for both methods, it represents the mean S/P of negative samples + 3 standard deviations, and b) it is the lowest value associated with a practically significant net OD (about 0.15–0.20).

Our results showed a decreasing trend of FGM prevalence over time and significant variation across geographic and socioeconomic groups.

By contrast, a highly significant correlation was observed between cyst abundance determined by direct counting and the qPCR assay in conjunction with DNA debris removal ( r 2 = 0.72, slope = 1.07, p < 0.001).

P < 0.05 was considered significant and p < 0.01 was considered highly significant.

There were highly significant positive correlations between camera traps and tracking cages in the frequency of sessions that paired monitoring stations detected dormice (Spearman’s rank-order correlation, r 2 = 0.826, df = 9, p -value = 0.003) and wood mice (Spearman’s rank-order correlation, r 2 = 0.833, df = 9, p -value = 0.003, Fig 3 ).

The detection of ≥CIN2 was statistically significantly higher for cobas and CLART than it was for cytology, with the differences for HC2 and APTIMA approaching significance.

In NASCIS III the higher MPSS dose was associated with a significant increase in the risk of severe pneumonia (2.23 times higher risk) and a marginally significant increase in the risk of sepsis (1.15 times higher risk)[ 16 ].

In two European localities, Mougins (in France) and San Michele (in Italy), we sampled for two consecutive years at the same period (October, 2012–13 and September, 2013–14 respectively) and found an increasing trend of the Wolbachia prevalence over time for both localities (Mougins: from 0.46 to 0.57; San Michele: from 0.22 to 0.65; Table 1 ) though the trend was not significant (Fisher’s exact test, P = 0.74 and P = 0.05 respectively).

This explanation is also supported by the predictable result that powered plantarflexion increased positive power of the prosthetic ankle during terminal stance ( Fig 8 ), as well as the more interesting finding that these large increases in ankle power were shown to result in a significant trend toward less overall knee flexion of the intact leg knee during stance ( Fig 6 ).

ATP accumulation in the VBNC cells might be significant for boosting the repair system to recover the cells from injury, and help cells survive longer after depletion of the primary energy source [ 46 ].

Further reference to data on women in the 2010–11 ZDHS report [ 2 ] shows that for declining educational level and declining wealth status, the total fertility rate increases, and yet there is a decreasing trend in the proportion of women who received ANC care from a skilled provider for the last live birth in the 5 years preceding the survey.

The expression levels of Bax after HEMA or MMA treatment also showed a trend of increase, although there was no statistical significance compared to the control group (all P > 0.05).

Results Phenotyping for drought tolerance Hydroponic assay Highly significant differences were found in the seedling survivability, drought score, reduction in root and shoot length, fresh and dry weights of roots and shoots and seed yield per plant.

In addition to reduced emotional reactivity, our data suggested a more generalised reduction in cortical activity for the minimal-intervention group (as evidenced by a trend towards smaller overall LPP amplitudes in the minimal intervention group–although this effect only approached significance).

Indeed, data show that utilization of alternative receptors by HSV-1 is quite significant, since it can use different receptors according to the target cell [ 12 ].

A borderline significant association was seen among IGF2 and H19 in cord blood and GDM-M/NGT-M.

No significant difference in RDS of any severity was seen across the intrauterine growth restriction studies (pooled OR: 0.81, 95% CI 0.59–1.11; 4 studies, 504 infants), nor in the majority of reports on SGA infants, though pooled analyses revealed a clear trend favouring ACS (pooled OR: 0.83, 95% CI 0.66–1.05, 8 studies, 1126 infants).

In the understory, the attractive effect of Renner solution was highly significant and more pronounced in spruce forests.

However, inclusion of flagellin only in the DNA vaccine prime followed by systemic or mucosal boosting with Ad-encoded Ag85B mediated a highly significant reduction in pulmonary bacterial load ( Fig 6A and 6B ), particularly following mucosal boosting (7-fold reduction in lungs compared to sham immunized mice).

175, the static output showed a decreasing trend with respect to the dynamic output check, after which it began to oscillate around its CL.
