A high positive Z-score indicates that the raw data statistic is much greater than those obtained by chance (null hypothesis), and therefore is highly significant in a statistical sense.

This survey also showed a trend of increase in the prevalence of aac ( 6 ′)- Ib-cr and oqxAB among FQ-resistant isolates between 2004–2006 and 2010–2012 ( Table 1 ).

Cells were defined as PI + if the PI fluorescence increased drastically between two frames or if the initial basal fluorescence signal was increased by more than 5% and demonstrated an increasing trend in subsequent time-lapse images until equilibrium was achieved.

All results were either significant or of marginal significance.

A p-value less than 0.05 and 0.01 was considered statistically significant and highly significant, respectively.

Figure 7A shows that the knockdown of LmMet results in significantly decreased transcript levels of the chymotrypsin genes, LmChy1, LmChy2 (MWW; p < 0.01), while transcript levels of LmChy4 show a strong trend in the same direction.

However, a decreasing trend (−12 m) was observed in typical BMD, hinting at a possible detection of significant changes with longer observation, and supporting the clinical meaningfulness of longitudinal 6MWT in BMD.

However, the statistical tests conducted at the second in vivo time point showed a trend towards changes in the diffusivity metrics (MD and RD) in the corpus callosum.

CMIP5 MMM clearly suggests significant warming by the end of the 21 st century (+0.0073 ± 0.0115 °C a −1 in the RCP2.6 scenario and + 0.0296 ± 0.0200 °C a −1 in the RCP8.5 scenario) and only a slightly increasing trend in precipitation (+0.51 ± 1.35 mm a −1 for RCP2.6 scenario and +1.92 ± 1.86 mm a −1 for RCP8.5 scenario) over the Kerguelen.

Qatar has the lowest MCE and highest MCI values, and the difference is quite significant.

For instance, KEGG analysis of T3 is also characterized by the few barely significant up-regulated pathways and the many highly significant down-regulated pathways, mostly cancer related.

Leading up-regulated biological process-related GO terms in T3 are mostly metabolic-related, all are only weakly significant; the most significant one, lipid transport, has a −log p -value of 7.30 ( Fig. 6(d) ).

With additional adjustment for factors that were considered to be either confounders or mediators of the association including BMI and diabetes status at baseline, the associations of more frequent bowel movements with stroke (HR: 1.10; 95% CI: 1.00, 1.22; P for trend = 0.03) became borderline significant, whereas the association with CVD (HR: 1.05; 95% CI: 0.98, 1.13; P for trend = 0.04) and CHD (HR: 1.00; 95% CI: 0.90, 1.10; P for trend = 0.57) were no longer significant.

The temporal evolution of SST anomalies during the developing EN year (January to December) in 1982, 1997 and 2015 are similar, with an increasing trend from January to the peak in November in 1997 and 2015, and the peak in December in 1982, with 2015 typically showing the strongest warming.

Furthermore, an increasing trend was observed in Austria (from 1.10 cases per 10,000 births in 1974–1979 to 4.20 cases per 10,000 births in 2005–2009) and North America (from 1.88 cases per 10,000 births in 1980–1984 to 4.00 cases per 10,000 births in 2005–2009).

The rain rate (RR) exhibited a decreasing trend in most portions of EC for both convective and stratiform precipitation.

F3 ′ H and F3'5 ′ H genes revealed contrasting patterns of expression in the four leaf stages, with an increasing trend for the former but a decreasing one for the latter, indicating a change in their relative importance in flavonoid biosynthesis during Hevea leaf development.

8b , the crack growth velocity shows a decreasing trend, which is understandable as the aggregated strain energy reduces with the crack growth.

Moreover, in the latter case speciation will also be impacted by the recrystallization rate, with a clear trend towards increased incorporation at faster recrystallization.

Although no data are available directly for our study site, data from nearby sites indicate a strong impact and declining reef health starting in the mid-1990s, with a decreasing trend in coral cover reported for MNP (west of Chichiriviche; from 55% in 1996 to 39% in 2011) and Los Roques National Park (north of Chichiriviche; from 44% in 1999 to 25% in 2012) 30 .

In the years following the mortality of 2010, regeneration seems to have occurred across all size-classes at 2 m, demonstrated by total coral abundance and proportion of larger size-classes generally following an increasing trend ( Fig. 1 ).

These results further indicate a positive trend between decamer structure and peroxidase activity, although other factors such as pH and peroxiredoxin concentration also affect the enzymatic activity of 2-Cys Prx 8 , 9 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 .

Influenced by the dissipation of SR and NVE, the oscillations show a slight trend of damping.

In addition, the values of C dl , which can be explained by the Helmholtz model as equation (7) 10 , exhibits a decreasing trend with increase in concentration of inhibitors. where d is the thickness of electric double-layer, S is the surface area of mild steel electrode exposed to 0.5 M HCl solution, ε 0 and ε show the permittivity of the air and the local dielectric constant, respectively.

Participants in the multi-domain group showed a trend of long-term decrease in axial diffusivity (AD) without significant change in fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD) or radial diffusivity (RD), while those in the control group displayed a significant FA decrease, and an increase in MD and RD.
