This may be significant for the magnetoelectric effect 47 but the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) exchange interaction strength is found to be weak and its contribution to T N is very negligible for LFPO 44 48 .

However, if the differences among WT, P2X 2 −/− and P2X 3 −/− mice are as considerably significant as reported by Cockayne et al. , we should detect significant differences even using our small sample size.

The female subjects also showed a trend towards increased fat percentage and decreased SMM with aging.

Results Test 1: Chromatic background matching in free-ranging lizards The GLM reported a highly significant difference in chromatic background matching (JND) of P. erhardii backs between comparisons with chosen backgrounds and other lizards’ backgrounds on the same island, as perceived by avian predators (F 1,255 = 166.418, P < 0.001; Fig. 2 ).

At the segmented-leaf scale, leaf wax δD n -alkane values in Hierochloe glabra (a monocot) showed an increasing trend from base to the tip along the blade by 30‰ ( Fig. 2b , Supplementary Table S3 ), similar to a previous result obtained from three tall grasses ( Miscanthus sinensis , a monocot) 35 .

We found that both HIRZ and ROA showed a trend towards down regulation in crowding but this trend was not significant (HIRZ P = 0.513; ROA P = 0.465) ( Fig. 2 ).

Here, we demonstrated for the first time that the differentiation potential of MSCs was preserved even after exposure to high doses of cisplatin, and we did not find a general dose-dependent reduction of the differentiation capabilities: While the adipogenic differentiation was found to be reduced at least after treatment with high doses of cisplatin, MSCs showed a trend towards increased osteogenic differentiation after cisplatin treatment.

integrifolia in the good patches showed a trend to overwhelm that in the bad patches, although this tendency was not statistically significant ( P = 0.071, Fig. 2b ) when the within-patch quality contrast was low and the between-patch contrast was high (treatment L-H).

This increase is highly significant after 7, 14, and 21 days of differentiation in comparison to undifferentiated cells (Day 0) ( Fig. 1 , upper panel).

2B ) revealed a similar spatio-temporal exploration among groups, but DEDTC-treated groups showed a trend to decrease the swimming at the upper half of the apparatus.

The batch shows a clear trend up to 1.8% PCE with a material ratio of P3HT:PC 61 BM ~6:4.

This stability in the sign of r stems from the highly significant correlations embodied in many of the pairwise co-localizations made possible by the large populations of the features analysed (with > 10,000 entries in every database in Supplementary Table S1 ).

The percentage of root length density in the 0–5 cm depth layer did not significantly differ among the salinity treatments, but there was a decreasing trend with an increase in severity of salt stress ( Fig. 1b ).

2C ) showed insignificant or only marginally significant differences in distances.

The method described here may be significant for the development of microparticle-based applications such as self-assembled materials 1 2 3 , self-propelled micromotors 4 5 6 7 , drug delivery systems 8 9 , and environmental engineering 10 .

Such overlaps were extremely significant compared with a random one (see Table 1 ).

A quadratic relationship between the grain yield and the year of release was observed in 2013, which demonstrated a decreasing trend in the genetic improvements in the grain yield over the last two decades ( Table 2 ; Fig. 2a ).

aeruginosa counted by microscopy and the copy numbers of the 16S rDNA and mcyA genes detected by qPCR indicated highly significant correlation coefficients.

The osteoporosis cases have a similar behavior but there is a slight trend towards lower strains (generally representing susceptibility to fracture).

Figure 3 shows a clear trend of increasing diffusion with decreasing organic molar mass, which also supports the aforementioned diffusion by high kinetic energy model.

But for the female biased genes, only a few diseases were barely significantly enriched (OCD, schizophrenia, epilepsy and AD) ( Fig. 6B ).

The correlations between PY- and PA-related traits based on different environments were highly significant ( Supplementary Table S3 ).

p-AKT H-score was inversely associated with the presence of splenomegaly, although this was of marginal significance, and positively with absolute platelet counts.

The up-regulation of IDO1 (more than 100 fold after 24 h) was also highly significant and in agreement with the overall pattern of increased expression of pro-inflammatory genes, characterised by a fast and transient up-regulation peaking at 24 h pi ( Table 2 ).

Hepatic FAS and SCD1 levels were not significantly different between the groups, whereas CPT-1 and AOX mRNA levels were significantly increased in the GALP group compared with the saline group, and MCAD and FGF-21 showed a trend to increase ( Fig. 2B–G ). mRNA levels of HSL and ATGL in adipose tissue were increased in the GALP-treated group compared with control ( Fig. 2H,I ).
