21 and, while not quite statistically significant, they further support the advantage of using the endoscopic technique for transsphenoidal pituitary surgery.

Our results showed a trend that the risk of ALN metastases increases consistently with tumor size increases.

Climate model simulations with the new generation of Coordinated Downscaling Experiment over Europe (EURO-CORDEX 69 ) reveal an increasing trend towards a higher frequency of hydrologic extremes across most of Europe with future global warming.

As a corollary, it is possible that we were underpowered to detect individual HMO changes, as a few approached significance.

The soil organic matter shows a decreasing trend with depth, with maximum values up to 44.2 g kg −1 , 35.4 g kg −1 and 32.3 g kg −1 in the A horizon of ZSJ, ZCR and ZAJ profiles, respectively.

Systemic toxicity may be significant although Ni concentrations are permitted, and its presence is an existent threat to the integrity of oral tissues and the use of these metals in clinical practice.

Eggshell thickness and overall elemental composition of the pigment spot and background colour regions Our measurements of non-embryonated and post-hatched eggshells of cryptic, Black Grouse and Capercaillie eggs revealed highly significant differences in the thickness of the shells between their background colour and pigment spot regions (Fig. 1 ; Table S1 ): the former were respectively 2.6% and 2.8% thinner (Black Grouse) and 4.5% and 5.3% thinner (Capercaillie) than the latter in both non-embryonated and post-hatched eggshells (Fig. 1 ; Table S1 ).

18 , which showed a trend toward an increased SV when using a SM, with a reduced V E and significantly extended T i .

However, clearly the measured contact angles θ do not show a decreasing trend as the Wenzel ( θ w ) condition.

The hysteresis Δθ for textured PET varies in the range between 12 ± 9.6° and 23 ± 1.6° without showing a clear trend with the aspect ratio of the microstructure.

Once we added the time-variant covariates, the effect lost much of its statistical significance, although it remained marginally significant (95% CI: 1.00; 3.24).

2 b) and SERPINH1 (data not shown) were not significantly changed, but HSPA4 showed a trend to be transiently increased after 1 and 4 h.

peak1 showed an increasing trend concerning the concentration of particles, thus showing a higher reflection in the case of higher concentrations.

The parameters peak1 and peak2 changed according to an expected trend (see Fig. 6 ): the amplitude of the first reflection increased with increasing concentration due to more significant differences in acoustic impedances, whereas the amplitude of the second reflection decreased with increasing concentration because of less ultrasound energy that crosses the sample.

This metric was able to discriminate most of the tested mineral concentrations, showing a clear trend with respect to the particle concentrations.

laniger, exhibiting an obvious trend of clustering in phylogeny with strong bootstrap support (Fig. 6 ).

The cubic spine curve was plotted using models A and B showed a trend of increasing CVD incidence as WHR increased.

On the other hand, secondary porosity of the analyzed facies (Sm Sr, St & Sp) displays a positive trend with the increasing burial depth (Fig. 15 c).

Figure 1 shows the posterior probabilities of disease trends assigned to each district, categorised as either having an increasing trend, a constant trend or a decreasing trend.

We selected all districts that showed a declining trend in malaria incidence and compared them with those that had an increasing trend with respect to the temporal trends in quarterly temperature (maximum, minimum, and diurnal ranges), precipitation, the normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) and elevation.

BXM-treated patients showed a trend to increased values of both activated and effector memory CD8+ T-cell over the 1-year follow-up, whereas no differences were found in CD4+ T-cells (Supplemental Fig.

That region was actually the only one in which the correlation between the behavioural and fMRI-based confusion matrices approached significance, suggesting it hosts a representation of speaker identity closer to behavioural outcome than in temporal regions.

6 b), with the reported p-value = 0.098 (marginally significant to reject that the little egrets return earlier than or at the same time as the great egrets, in HT2).

Although several studies suggested that temperature and humidity might play crucial roles and affect the bird behaviour 58 , 59 , e.g., varying air temperature and humidity might influence water temperature, that possible alter the activity levels of forage fishes, which in turn affects the foraging efficiency of egrets 60 , our results in Table 1 shows that the Daily Mean Temperature (p-value = 0.080) and Mean Relative Humidity (p-value = 0.089) are just marginally significant.

The main effect of array size was non-significant ( b = − 0.82, SE = 0.42, Z = − 1.9, p = 0.054), but showed a trend toward fewer repeats in 3-stimulus arrays.
