Excerpts

As shown in Figure 5B , the enrichment for probe-sets that increased or decreased in both comparisons was highly significant.

To this aim, we have tested whether there is a significant association between karyotype and time to death under desiccation stress to assess resistance to dehydration, a trait that is likely to be significant for the survival of populations living in the more xeric portions of this species’ extensive geographical range.

In addition, HDL-C correlated inversely with TP volume at a borderline significance.

We also observed that the slopes of the body size-genitalia relationship were different between the two treatments (although this interaction was only marginally significant) such that relative differences in genitalia size were most pronounced in smaller sized individuals.

Also, although several measures of microarchitecture, namely BV/TV and Conn.D, had some association with bone's mechanical properties ( Figure 3 ), microdamage showed a trend towards significance with yield and ultimate strain ( Table 2 ).

P -values less than 0.0038, 0.0033, or 0.010 were considered nominally significant in the regression analysis of the 13 SNPs; the 15 combinations for the selected 4 SNPs; and the reference and 5 categories for the number of alleles, respectively.

A clear trend in the development of the different training groups was not found ( Figure 12 exemplifies the body segments coordination by the overlap between trunk and arms during pulling phase).

Our results did not explicitly support such an effect although a slight trend towards diversifying selection was still observed (see 4.2).

RC 50 harbors Wolbachia at higher densities than RC20 resulting in still bright signals upon treatment in F1 and highly significant reduction in F2.

The area under the curve of the glucose tolerance test was decreased in the high fat-fed MIC-1/GDF15 transgenic mice compared to corresponding control mice, but this fell just short of statistical significance ( Fig. 4B ).

Nevertheless, as population size increased there was an increasing trend in the probability of latifundia formation.

In summary, in this study we identified gene expression profile differences between ARLC-SCC and NARLC-SCC, but failed to verify the differential expression of individual genes that were highly significant in microarray analysis using the independent method of qRT-PCR.

While this is a significant trend in Phrynobatrachus , a correlation between terrestrial development and decreased diversification remains to be investigated in anurans more generally.

‘NP’ differed significantly from ‘W’ ( p - corrected = 0.03) and marginally significant from ‘S’ ( p-corrected = .069).

However, associations, albeit not or only marginally significant, were in the opposite direction than observed earlier [6] , [8] .

At 3 weeks post-irradiation, there was an overall trend towards a lower hemoglobin concentration, lower MCV, lower platelet count, and lower WBC count in the MIWI2 −/− mice ( Figure 4 ), but the differences did not reach statistical significance.

Most specialties exhibited an increasing trend in female applicants (+0.2% to +2% annually), except for Family Medicine, Hematology, Pediatric Neurology, and Pathological Anatomy (-0.6%, -0.6%, -0.7%, and -0.9% annually, respectively).

While neither DcoSB nor DcoWB at rest were associated with years of SHS exposure, DcoWb during exercise showed a trend towards inverse association with years of cabin SHS exposure.

There was a clear trend for an effect in the anodal condition (RTs were 20% lower at the last measurement), but this did not reach significance compared to sham (see Figure 2 ).

This effect was more clearly shown in traces of ELF97/DNA Index versus Row coordinate for the microbioreactor runs, which revealed an increasing trend in ELF97/DNA activity in downstream rows, with the exception of Donor 1 Run 1 ( Fig. 5A ) .

daubentonii (ANOVAs, for all isotopic elements: p<0.005), with an increasing trend in δ 13 C and δ 34 S ( Figure 3 , Table 2 ).

myotis were more pronounced for δ 13 C (ANOVA, F 3,25 = 21.03, p<0.001) and for δ 15 N (ANOVA, F 3,24 = 13.85, p<0.001) showing a decreasing trend ( Figure 3 , Table 2 ).

Alternatively, miR-22 could have a highly significant indirect effect on the protein expression of parathymosin.

However, availability of NIH funding for students is also highly significant, with each additional NIH-funded traineeship, fellowship, or research assistantship increasing new (first-time, full-time) enrollments by, on average, one additional student that same year.

Discussion The incidence of pneumoconiosis has been a decreasing trend, but it is still a most serious occupational disease worldwide.
