Soluble sugars, reducing sugars, total sugars, starch, and soluble protein showed a decreasing trend with increasing Cd under Cd stress alone ( Fig. 2a–d,f ).

These data indicated that, in spite of the highly significant vaccination activity of non-transduced cells in the CT26 model, irradiated FAP-expressing tumor cells were more efficacious than irradiated cells alone in eliciting anti-tumor immunity in multiple types of tumors.

This improvement may be highly significant in the clinic.

In the largest dataset ( GSE15222 ), we observed nominally significant differences in SNAP25 expression between females and males among AD patients but not among controls.

This difference was highly significant, with hypergeometric p-value 1.71 × 10 −4 .

At 50 μM, azure A also showed a trend towards inhibition but it did not reach statistical significance.

A tentative explanation for the slight, marginally significant, difference in response times between musicians and non-musicians could be that musicians are more meticulous in the task, being slower in their responses but obtaining better performances.

observed a decreasing trend in Young’s modulus with increasing irradiances, reaching no statistically significant difference between the 18 mW/cm 2 and the control group.

Patients who developed anti-TNF antibodies showed a trend toward clinical improvement.

In the node of the Arvicanthini and Otomyini, a small metacone in vertical orientation is predicted as the most probable ancestral state (80.3%) but is marginally insignificant over the second most probable ancestral state, a large metacone in parallel orientation (12.2%, difference of log likelihood = 1.89).

Similar to the northward shift of the region with the lowest simulated BVOC emissions in TP, the region with an increasing trend in BVOC emissions in TP also shifts northward due to the overestimation of the biomass in its southern part.

A clear trend of the structural preference in different systems was revealed and possible indicators that affect the structure stabilities were introduced.

By in situ hybridization, we detected potent and wide expression of β-arr1 in mature DG and an increasing trend during postnatal development which is similar with other reports 12 35 .

Indeed, conceptually it seems unlikely for phototrophs to occur deep in the mat, however an unexpected trend of increasing cyanobacteria (e.g.

Because the predicted average concentration of CNTs in soil (0.01–0.02 μg/kg) is far below those used in the present study 47 , the effects of CNTs (0.2–2,000 mg/kg) on mineralization and transformation of 14 C-catechol may be significant and relevant in “hot-spot” areas of CNTs-contaminated soils.

No such peak was found with the vehicle stimuli; in fact a small trend in the opposite direction (trough, rather than peak) emerged at this frequency.

Regression analyses suggested (although only nominally significant) that emotional traumatic events might be of special interest when studying environmental risk factors associated with an early occurrence of BD.

However, a clear trend towards higher levels of NPM1 in grade III tumors when compared to grade I and II tumors was noted ( Table 1 , Fig. 1B ).

The hardness of the mild steel exhibited an increasing trend with impact angle.

The computational simulations in IFIM showed highly significant correlations with the experimentally-derived fitness data, which demonstrated that the computer-generated predictions are almost as reliable as the experimental data 24 .

Generally, projections from the global climate models showed a slight trend for drier conditions by 2100 ( Table 1 , Fig. 4 ).

The results showed that the proportion of S-phase cells exhibited an increasing trend but did not reach statistical significance, suggesting that the anti-ageing mechanism of cAMP did not depend on enhanced cell proliferation ( Fig. 3A ).

Correlations between freezing tolerance and the expression levels of COR genes and the content of glucose, fructose and sucrose, as well as many correlations among transcript and solute levels, that were highly significant in cold acclimated plants, were lost during deacclimation.

In the central U.S., T 2 has a negative trend of −0.05 °C/decade, whereas T 4 is 0.03 °C/decade.

Although an increasing trend in annual water consumption can be qualitatively expected for the period before the pre-TGD decade, considering the rapid increase in population since the 1950s and the rapid increase in economic activity in the Yangtze Basin since the 1980s 20 , it is difficult to quantify its impact on water discharge because of the lack of available data.
