However, recent legal and market developments indicate a clear trend towards greater transparency.

Furthermore, a significant trend towards higher ORs with decreasing PLT/WBC ratio was observed across the tertiles ( P for trend = 0.002).

In addition, p-values ≤ 0.07 defined a statistical trend worthy of future study.

In response to the original critique regarding the sample size of the ROTEM measurements, the authors state that “despite the small sample size and missing statistics, we believe the results do show a clear trend and argue for an effect of TG2 on clot formation”.

This is also consistent with results by Waddell, Umehara, Griche and Kishino (unpublished) whose analyses of the 17 aligned genomes at the UCSC browser, identify 15 highly conserved indels of 5 bp or greater in favour of Atlantogenata, but only four for Epitheria and three for Exafroplacentalia (a highly significant result by the test in [11] ).

This is close to LGM low sea levels (20–25 kya), which may be significant in terms of access to the archipelago from the mainland.

This correlation of borderline significance could similarly be detected in patients, from whose tumor biopsies permanently growing cell lines could be established (B-RAF mutation compared to wildtype, median overall survival 7.1 versus 9.3 months, p = 0.068; Figure 3D ).

However, these associations were only of borderline significance, and so need to be interpreted with some caution.

There was also evidence for a borderline significant effect for the rare allele of rs4988344, which was associated with an increased risk in a dose-dependant manner (OR = 1.15 [95%CI 1.02–1.30], P-trend = 0.02), compared with common homozygotes.

The samples were split into two sets in order to save DNA and reduce genotyping costs: the first set (n = 2270 cases and 2280 controls) was genotyped for all SNPs and the second set (n = 2203 cases and 2280 controls) were then tested for those SNPs that showed marginally significant associations in set 1 (P-heterogeneity or P-trend<0.1).

A small inverse correlation was observed with the expression of the stress genes (r = −0.19), but this correlation was only marginally significant and considerably lower than those observed with the highest correlated gene groups (e.g. cell cycle group with r = 0.58, see also Table S2 ).

Thus, a local trace of rTMS conditioning, manifested mainly as an increase in SWA, was present for at least the first 30 minutes of sleep, and showed a decreasing trend in the course of the sleep episode.

There is a clear trend for regions of high selectivity to reside within linear zones of the map, while cells with low selectivity are present near pinwheels or fractures.

From the Figure, we can see that there is an excellent match between the DNA barcodes and their “parent” genomes, and this relationship is highly significant (correlation coefficient = 0.94).

At testing, subjects that did not nap showed no significant performance improvement, yet those that did nap expressed a highly significant consolidation enhancement.

This amplitude increase, however, had to be quite significant ( Figure 3 D ).

Our population estimates exceed the government and scientific population recovery criteria by more than 500%, we found a positive trend in population abundance, and key habitats have remained intact despite heavy human river use.

The shortnose sturgeon plan [5] names 19 distinct populations and specifies three recovery criteria: adequate size with a favorable trend in abundance; habitat sufficient to support a recovered population; and potential causes of mortality insufficient to reduce the population.

Our analysis showed statistically significant associations with each of these factors, although for risk factor and time on therapy, our associations were marginally significant, especially in light of our large sample size.

Our finding of a statistically-significant F is of 0.18 is consistent with previous analyses: Anderson et al [39] obtained highly significant F is values of 0.7 to 1.0 in a preliminary analysis, and Razakandrainibe et al [2] reported F is ≈0.15,.

Our results revealed that on day 8 relative to the β-Gal control cells PERKΔC expressing cells displayed only a marginal trend towards reduced apoptosis ( Fig 5C, top row and 5D ).

This may be significant to understand the mechanism of chronic damage caused by methanol toxicity and formaldehyde stress [18] , [28] .

Such a sub-specialization might be significant to distinguish very fine sensory inputs from the environment.

Our results further show that the estimated genetic correlation in LRS between male and female collared flycatchers was negative, and clearly significantly lower than unity, as judged by a likelihood ratio test ( Table 2 ).

There was, however, a highly significant difference in shared and private allele composition as measured by Dc ( Table 2 ).
