Excerpts

It can be observed that, along all four directions, the PM 2.5 concentrations interpolated by the OK method almost first demonstrated an increasing trend and then gradually decreased, while those simulated by LUR model at the same local sites were relatively lower and stable at two ends but higher and fluctuated in the middle.

This is reflected by the LUR model simulated result, which shows a decreasing trend from Harris County to surrounding areas.

Although highly significant correlations exist between these mobility patterns and retrospective data on epidemic spread, large unexplained variations remain 10 , 18 , 19 .

This observation is highly significant, as we propose that in the short-term the cardiac MPS can complement animal models, and in the future may have the potential to replace animal studies, which often are expensive, unethical, and do not predict the drug's actual effect.

Temperature was mildly significant in the Chile model but not significant in the other models.

Importantly, between the different irradiation protocols simulating HPR, there were also significant differences in cell survival for HEI-OC1 and a marginal significance for HaCaT ( Supplementary Table S1 online).

The diffraction patterns exhibit a clear trend of decreasing speckle visibility with increasing scan speed, because a larger sample area traverses over the illumination within the exposure time.

In clinical samples, T4 and APOA-1 were observed to increase simultaneously with a highly significant p-value of 2.78 × 10 −9 , Similarly, T4 and color of tongue/tongue fur were find to elevate simultaneously with p-value of 0.012.

Our study was able to establish a clear trend in the absorption-to-scattering ratio, which we could directly assign to chemical and morphological differences of calcium oxalate and uric acid stones.

asynchronous difference as variables) was significant ( Figure 3c : r = 0.42, P = 0.03, one-tailed Pearson correlation), which is compatible with the questionnaire data correlation that showed a trend toward significance.

Having removed the effect of the proportion of oxic genes, a negative trend was observed between metabolic rate and body mass; however, the partial correlation was not highly significant ( r s p = –0.19, p = 0.058).

In the subsample with available data (N = 1,099 pairs), both the intercept and the slope made a highly significant contribution, explaining 17% of the variance in delinquency (details in Supplementary Information ).

We identified a meta-signature, consisting of five highly significant and consistently dysregulated miRNAs (miR-21, miR-210, miR-141, miR-200c and miR-429) from 30 different datasets.

Collectively, ASIC1a deletion caused a highly significant reduction in the magnitude of LTP in BLA-PNs and CeM-LTB neurons ( Fig. 3e ), both of which exhibited the highest ASIC current density, whereas this deletion had little effect on LTP in CeM-ES and CeL neurons that expressed relatively low levels of ASICs.

If inaccuracies and imprecision are large in relation to the number and magnitude of differences arising because of variation between different types of original surface under investigation, then their impact on analysis is likely to be significant.

So one-side peening is performed to show a clear trend of the depth profile of residual stresses introduced by laser.

However, for the number of pollen grains, we found that there was a decreasing trend for the four annual plants and an increasing trend for the perennial plants ( Fig. 1A ), suggesting that the variations in P/O ratio of plants could be resultant from changes in the number of pollen grains, and indicating that resource allocation to male functions of plant species were more susceptible to environmental changes 23 .

In the OTCs, P/O ratio decreased in annuals, but increased in perennials, indicating an overall trend toward selfing in annuals.

Interestingly, glucose and lactate showed a trend change around 45 minutes into the exercise, 12 minutes before the first physical evidence of exhaustion and 42 minutes before full exhaustion (indicated by red ovals).

The changes referred to an overall trend, and further details about the land-use changes between scenarios can be found in previous publications 33 , 34 .

This was particularly evident for the anti-pseudomonal β-lactams aztreonam and ceftazidime; however, a clear trend of increased resistance was apparent over time.

We observed marginally significant associations with schizophrenia of rs10908826, rs4656994, rs5085 and rs2307424 in the NDUFS2 gene and rs12457810, rs12964485 and rs2377961 in the NDUFV2 gene.

The incorporation of PLGA in PCPI and PIPI promoted a decreasing trend of the pH value where it lowered down to 6.87 for PCPI and 6.35 for PIPI at day 7.

A number of loci statuses were not determined, which makes a definitive conclusion more difficult, but these data do suggest an interesting trend.

This difference was apparent already in the youngest individuals observed (<1 yr old), who have experienced relatively few potential social-learning opportunities.
