Excerpts

A p-value <0.10 was considered as marginally significant.

There is a clear and highly significant response to these stimuli compared with blank stimulation in an anatomical region consistent with the position of LGN and SC.

The excess adsorption attains a maximum, followed by a decreasing trend at higher pressures.

During this period, the TP in water showed a decreasing trend (Fig. 1 ), thereby limiting the growth of phytoplankton and periphyton.

had the strongest restoration ability and exhibited an increasing trend after August 21 st .

Local recurrence of MIBC was found to constitute an additional risk factor for CSS (Table 4B ) and borderline significance for OS (Table 4A ).

While the number of studies reporting an increase in otolith growth rates in response to low pH is quite significant, there is very little research on how changes in otolith growth rates caused by ocean acidification will affect hearing, navigation and balance in fish.

TLR variability and susceptibility to infection Linear modelling revealed several associations between risk of infection and presence of the most frequent amino-acid alleles (Table S6 ), yet after controlling for multiple comparisons, only the effects of the TLR1*aa10 and TLR5*aa02 on infection with the blood pathogen Bartonella remained significant or marginally significant (Table 4 ).

P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant, and P-value < 0.01 was considered extremely significant.

The results indicated that, as expected, ACSF1 mRNA expression presented a highly significant increase when the primary hepatocytes were treated with 100 nM 17β-estradiol.

We also noticed that although the trend in mutagenesis is highly significant, there are no significant differences among lower and high doses.

The most highly significant GO group within the MF category was identified as ‘extracellular ligand-gated ion channel activity’ (Fig. 3 ; GO:0005230; p .adj = 3 × 10 −5 ).

Use of chemically induced and clinically relevant liver fibrosis model for elucidation of pomegranate potential against liver fibrosis is highly significant because there is a general paucity of documentation on pomegranate juice against liver fibrosis.

Both studies’ top SNPs in the basonuclin 2 gene ( BNC2 ) locus were only nominally significant in our data ( P rs2153271 = 0.0044; P rs62543565 = 0.0351), and in the interferon regulatory factor 4 ( IRF4 ), melanocortin 1 receptor ( MC1R ), and agouti signaling protein (ASIP ) loci, their top SNPs were predominantly monomorphic in 1000G East Asian samples (Supplementary Table S2 ) or were only weakly significant in our data (Table 2 ; P IRF4,rs9405675 = 0.0113; P MC1R:rs8060934 = 0.0027).

6 represents natural fluctuations in prevalence, where herds with low prevalence will have an increasing trend, and herds with high prevalence will have a decreasing trend.

Data We also wanted to evaluate whether PTB generally showed a trend toward moderate or high within-herd prevalence in dairy herds.

Of the herds that had an R-squared value above 0.5, seven had a positive slope and 35 had a negative slope, indicating that most herds demonstrating a clear trend have decreasing prevalence.

Of these, 76% (220) had a negative slope and 24% (69) had a positive slope, meaning that most herds showed a negative trend in the estimated true within-herd prevalence over time.

32 suggested an obvious trend towards aggravated drought in Xinjiang based on the SPEI from 1961–2015.

Overall, there was a decreasing trend (−0.024 m per year) (Fig. 3a ).

16 studied the correlation more closely between ozone and temperature in China observing an increase rate of ozone concentration of about 4.5 ppb/K within a temperature range of 28–38 °C and a decreasing trend of about −1.5 ppb/K for temperatures over 38 °C 16 .

If social bonding, individual recognition, maintaining group cohesion and cooperation exert the major selection pressure 13 , 54 , then the eusocial species with extremely high reproductive skew towards a single breeding pair might be expected to show the largest brains and cognitive potential, since they live in the largest and most cohesive groups, with a decreasing trend towards the solitary end of the social spectrum.

3A,B – it is important to note that the p values are highly significant irrespective of the used cutoff ( also see Supplemental Fig. 1A–C for cutoff vs. p value plots for the other genes) .

However, we found a statistical trend for a negative correlation between left FDI MiR and GMV of left M1 (peak voxel: −34/−30/39; T-value = 4.89; k = 224, p FWE = 0.077).

While the patient cohort was not large enough to detect significant changes in clinical outcomes, Patient Global Impression of Change showed a positive trend in patients treated with rHIgM22.
