However, within each of the three decades, the increasing rate of NPP showed a decreasing trend of 20.8% per decade.

Our results showed an increasing trend for NPP at the rate of 0.076 g C m −2 a −1 from 1981–2012 (about 7.9% from 1982 to 1999), which was greater than the global rate (about 6% from 1982 to 1999) 8 .

As described above, we found a marginally significant association of the COL11A1 gene with pneumococcal meningitis susceptibility.

This difference remained highly significant after adjustment for covariates by Cox regression analyses.

Polygenetic analysis also showed a decreasing trend in the diversity of the C subgenome than that of the A subgenome ( Table 3 ).

1 ) reveals an increasing trend of humidity in the middle and late Miocene time 30 .

The molecule with m/z 889.5 showed a trend of accumulating in the medial region of CTOSs although the difference is not statistically significant ( P = 0.223) ( Fig. 1i and Supplementary Fig.

Detection of damage in PBLs and BMLs of rats inhaling radon and its progeny Table 2 shows that the percentage of pan-nuclear γ-H2AX-positive cells in PBLs and BMLs showed no significant change with increasing cumulative radon dose in rats after overall radon inhalation of 10–60 WLM, despite an increasing trend in the 60 WLM group.

For males, the cumulative incidence of gallstone had an increasing trend with age in group without MetS.

Jeddi and Chaieb 23 observed that soil respiration exhibited an increasing trend as the duration of grazing exclusion increased.

Overall, an increasing trend was observed in the distance from the index to the little finger, and the distance between p1 of the index and the little fingers was 27.3 mm, which showed a significant difference.

In the case of FM propagation, changes to the particle speeds were slow, but the plot shows a clear trend towards higher speeds with increasing particle number.

Our findings of an increasing trend in A(H3N2) mutation rates echo the findings of Shih and colleagues 15 .

However, as in the Drosophila gut, polysome formation was not perfectly correlated with the incorporation of 35 S radio-labeled amino acids into proteins, because we detected a highly significant 44% reduction in incorporation rate in muscle and a 19%, although non-significant, reduction in the liver of Irs1 knockout mice ( Fig. 2b ).

Seasonality of imported DF There was an increasing trend of seasonal variability of imported DF cases from 2004 to 2013 ( Fig. 3 ).

This indicates that epiphytic bryophytes may be significant competitors for N in the stemflow and throughfall, which could have potential consequences for the plant community structure and nutrient cycling at the ecosystem level 47 , 48 .

Meanwhile, springtime rainfall exhibits a positive trend near the west coast of the Indo-China Peninsula, the southern South China Sea, and the southern Philippine Sea.

The most obvious decrease occurs over the inland and coastal southern China, exhibiting a negative trend of more than 2.0 [mm day −1 (35yr) −1 ] or a nearly 50% decrease in the climatological MAM rainfall in the last 35 years.

1B ) and these may be significant as the electronic properties of the heme propionates are known to affect heme reactivity 22 .

Results obtained did not show statistically significant changes for both Bnip3 mRNA and protein levels, although a small trend toward increased Bnip3 protein levels was visible in cachectic cancer patients ( Fig. 3A,C ).

However, after conducting procedures that contemplated the potential of confounding effects, results were always highly significant.

Structural fluctuations within these domains as well as in a loop connecting these domains suggests considerable domain motions relative to the kinase domain that may be significant in recognizing a wide range of binding partners.

Indeed, while PRL gene expression showed only marginal significance with better AEFS using Hu (1,139 patients) and Sorlie (783 patients) methods of classification (bc-GenExMiner 3.0), it was significantly associated with prolonged RFS using KM plotter database (580 patients) ( Figure S3 ).

A previous study indicated that hypoxic induction of VEGF, in an immortalized Müller cell line was nominally significant at pO 2 ’s ≤ 38 mmHg 38 .
