found a moderately significant relationship 32 .

In addition, there has been an increasing trend in the use of prosthetic cardiac devices 4 , 6 , 26 .

In Peninsular Malaysia where forests are becoming fragmented, there appears to be an increasing trend of displacement—92 tapirs were recorded to be road-killed from year 2006 to 2017 10 , 14 .

An increasing trend in monthly temperature and rainfall was observed from January until July and June, respectively.

DArTseq SNP marker interval 4108895_33:A > G/3196349_56:A > C showed highly significant association (LOD = 9.36) on chromosome A01 and accounted for 12.4% of genetic variation in resistance to L. maculans , followed by marker interval 100027433_25:T > C/3098300_24:G > T with LOD score of 8.17 on chromosome A01, which accounted for 18.1% of genetic variation (Table 3 ).

In season 2016–2017, the density in the bulk soil did not show any time trend, whereas in nests it showed a negative trend with pronounced swings (Supplementary Fig.

The proportion of digs excavated in nests varied over the fruiting season (P-value adjusted with the Holm-Bonferroni correction for multiple testing, P Holm < 0.001, Supplementary Table S1 ), showing a positive trend from its beginning until early December (day of season: 25), after which the relative abundance of digs in nests began to decline (Fig. 1a ).

To assess potential biases in PCR amplification success, we tested for correlations between PCR amplification success and different fluid properties; we found some moderately significant correlations (Table 2 ).

With the increase in RGO content from 7% to 10%, the degradation increased gradually from 68.5% to 84%, while by increasing RGO substrate to 13%, the degradation rate was observed to have a decreasing trend (Fig. 7B ).

Analysis using the supervised signed average expression method produced similar results with a strong trend for survival (Fig.

For transcription factor binding site analysis, there is still significant uncertainty about experimentally verified annotations, and a lot of nominally significant sequences were identified, so an equally stringent significance cut off of FDR <0.05 was used in both 22-miRNA and 5-miRNA restrictive gene target lists.

None of the other comparisons between age groups approached significance (all p s > 0.446).

In fact, results of the present study showed a trend very close to statistical significance, with a moderately high effect size, and differences appeared clearer and significant after controlling for age.

The statistical analyses carried out during the study demonstrated a highly significant influence of manure (O) and differentiated mineral fertilisation (M) as well as the interaction of these factors (O x M) on the content of light PAHs (naphthalene, acenaphthene, acenaphthylene, fluorene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, chrysene) and heavy PAHs (benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene, dibenzo(a,h)anthracene) in soil (Table 1 ).

Although our cluster analysis identified well-defined clusters with an enrichment for haploinsufficient genes, we observed only a marginally significant relationship between cluster pLI enrichment and SFARI HC gene overlap.

By analysing 39 PAs over three years before and after Colombia’s peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), we found a dramatic and highly significant increase in the deforestation rate for the majority of these areas and their buffer zones.

Recent data suggest that such biotic impacts may be significant and that their role in defining population dynamics and fermentation outcomes may have been underestimated.

By comparing the spectra (with panels arranged by increasing metal work function from the left- to the right-hand side) an obvious trend can immediately be noticed.

Specific PIT A main effect of response-type (F 1.63,94.2 = 109.74; p < 0.001, η 2 = 0.65) indicated a highly significant specific PIT effect (Fig. 2A ): the action that delivered the same outcome as that predicted by the stimulus (‘same’) was chosen significantly more than the other action (‘diff’: t 58 = 13.56, p < 0.001, d = 1.75) and the active baseline (‘ITI’: t 58 = 10.98, p < 0.001, d = 1.42).

However, the results of EGFR, CCND1, ITGA2, KRAS, MMP9 and NRAS were (although partially significant) not convincing.

Induction of ferritin in Caco-2 cells, showed overall a decreasing trend in the presence of increasing phytate concentration (Fig. 3 ).

1 ) showed a trend of higher ash mortality, especially for small diameter trees.

We found a clear trend of increasing mortality in ash, particularly reflected in the last available NFI (2010–2014).

In particular, despite the time-course curves of GCS showed a behaviour similar to controls, even if on the edge of the normal range, the curve of GLS showed a trend markedly different, as to suggest a delayed adaptation of the heart to acute hemodynamic overload.

In addition, a highly significant correlation (R2 = 0.89) was found between variability during the last ten familiarization throwing movements and the transfer ratio in the whole expert group, indicating that the more variable the participants, the less they were able to transfer compensations to the non-exposed task, see Fig. 6 .
