In Japanese cedar and hinoki cypress, the 137 Cs concentration in wood showed an increasing trend in half of the plots.

However, after intervention, trend test was highly significant (P-trend < 0·0001), showing > 51% of subjects with Fok-I TC genotype and almost all subjects with CC genotype remained vitamin D deficient (Table 2 ).

However, the ratio of water consumption of three plain reservoirs in total water consumption showed a decreasing trend (Fig.

Results suggest that climate and landscape elasticity showed an increasing trend with the increase of aridity index.

In the GRK2 siRNA-transfected ob/ob mice, the hypoglycemic effects of insulin administration showed a trend similar to that in the control siRNA-transfected lean mice (Supplementary Fig. 4C ).

LINC - ROR rs2027701 showed an obvious trend towards a superior reaction with toxic effects in patients with one or two variant alleles compared with those with the wild-type genotype (OR = 0.503, 95%CI = 0.303–0.835, P = 0.008).

A clear trend, for example, is seen in the drug design industry: Sanofi signed a $120 M deal with Schrödinger, a molecular modeling software company, in 2015.

However, in female mice, the effect of Oxt on fat degradation is slightly significant in subcutaneous fat than visceral fat.

When both of them were fit in the model simultaneously, chr14:2553998 still showed a highly significant association, although the P value increased markedly, and the interaction between the SNPs was not significant.

Although an increasing trend in [NO 3 − –N] is observed over the past three decades, [NO 3 − –N] during the period 2012 to 2014 was lower than the average [NO 3 − –N] during 1989 to 2000.

Our analyses evidence a clear trend of a reversal at the beginning of the 1980s towards a more sustainable agricultural N management.

after the subject defected and the opponent cooperated) compared to impulsive individuals, but the effect of impulsiveness was only marginally significant (Tables 1 and 2 ).

As shown in Figs 4 and 5 , ET had an increasing trend, while relative humidity was decreasing.

In contrast, the flux in the deeper retinal plexus showed a decreasing trend starting with 55 mmHg and was significantly lower at 85 mmHg.

The evaluation of the acute IOP elevation experiment proved the ability of the proposed method to assess physiological phenomena related to the dynamics of blood flow as well as elastic characteristics. The quantitative analysis of the OCTA data showed a trend of increasing flux, interpreted by the decorrelation amplitude, until 65 mmHg and 55 mmHg in the superficial and deeper retinal capillary plexus, respectively.

Furthermore, an obvious trend seen in S. stercoralis transcript abundance profiles is that they are significantly higher in heterogonically developing larvae (those going to free-living adults) than in homogonically developing larvae (those going to L3i), suggesting that Ss-riok-2 may have an important function in the reproductive development of S. stercoralis ’s free-living adult stages, again supporting its role in the reproduction of this parasite.

P -values ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant, and P -values ≤ 0.001 were considered statistically highly significant.

In this species, whinnies were shorter, and showed lower G0mean, lower energy distribution (Q25, Q50 and Q75) and slower (AMrate, marginally significant) but higher (AMextent) amplitude modulations in positive than in negative contexts.

Five of the six basins had an increasing trend of use to TWA.

For the RSA, there is a highly significant difference between the two distributions, although not all buried residues are necessarily involved in folding: side-chains might be buried later on during the folding pathway, when key structural elements are already formed.

From 1988 to 2008, there was an increasing trend of hypertension prevalence in Americans aged 40 years and older 11 , however, the prevalence of hypertension in Japan 13 , Germany 14 , Italy 16 and Korea 17 decreased.

It is worth noting that some beneficial microbes, such as Arthrobacter and Chaetomium , presented an increasing trend in ATS soils in Muping, Laizhou, and Huludao.

4b ), with the exceptions of single species showing marginally significant correlation with specific signals (Supplementary Table S2 ), as in the case of Ganoderma (122–126 and 151–153 ppm), Trichoderma (3–24 and 132–138 ppm) and Umbelopsis and Mucor (95–105 ppm).

SNPs on chromosome 14, especially around the DGAT1 locus, had a highly significant effect on both the even and odd PCs, confirming strong pleiotropic effects (Fig. 4 ).

This explains why there is an increasing trend for selecting surrogate endpoints as the primary outcome, while overall survival as a primary endpoint is decreasing 11 .
