Excerpts

Our experimental results did show an increasing trend in the transparency threshold as the Al 2 O 3 film thickness of the hybrid plasmonic waveguides changed from 5 to 15 nm, consistent with our expectation (See sec. 13 of SI).

There is a clear trend toward increasing lifetime for both the fast and slow decay components at increased depths in the film.

In general, the main observation in the whole cohort was a strong trend of increasing nuclear MTA1 expression associated with worse pathologic parameters: localized PCa and metastatic lesions had significantly higher nuclear MTA1 levels compared with PIN.

It can be seen that the Cu NW TEs have a high transmittance which may be significant for improving the light extraction from the LED active layers.

While heating due to strong absorption of THz radiation by water in biological materials may be significant in the case of continuous-wave excitation 16 , average thermal effects are minimal for picosecond-duration THz pulse sources with low repetition rates 20 .

This supported our premise that the role of stochasticity in AMR-dynamics may be significant and it allows for a wide distribution of the trajectories of the resistant E. coli number and fraction during therapy ( Fig. 5 and 6 ).

Results Annual NPP increased over the Loess Plateau since the implementation of the GTGP program We first examined the change in annual NPP over the Loess Plateau, which showed an increasing trend during the period 2000–2008.

In a prospective cohort study of 309 Barrett's patients followed in the Seattle Barrett's Esophagus Project, a strong trend was observed, with a 5 cm difference in length associated with a 1.7-fold increase in cancer risk (95% CI, 0.8–3.8-fold), when patients with HGD at entrance were excluded 36 .

In addition to the two genome-wide significant SNPs, multiple other SNPs in LD showed a trend towards association at the locus ( Figure 2 ).

However, an increasing trend for cardiac reprogramming efficiency was observed with increasing fibrin gel concentration ( Fig. 1e ).

Figure 2a (30 th August 2009) shows the BCC of 6500 ng/m 3 at 0 m (ground level) and then follows a decreasing trend till 1.5 Km with 350 ng/m 3 .

2b , the electrical conductivity of the PS composites showed a trend almost identical to that of the rubber composite, and a conductivity range spanning a factor of ~3 was again observed.

An interesting trend was observed when the electrical conductivity was plotted versus the dispersion time ( Fig. 4c ).

The CN SP showed an increasing trend and the mean value was 15.0‰ (ranging from 11.4 to 23.5‰).

Quantitative analysis of cell size ( Figure 4J ) shows that the effect of the Src inhibitor on the size of InR-expressing cells is highly significant.

Besides, the borderline significance of drinking status was found to be associated with the risk of HCC in both stages, with OR equal to 1.28 (95% CI: 1.06–1.56) in the combined analyses.

Significance values of p < 0.05 were considered significant and p < 0.01 considered extremely significant.

for the first time demonstrated that there was a highly significant association of ApoE ε4 allele and late-onset familial AD 39 .

Their shapes depend on the function considered and show an increasing trend with the log function, and an increasing and then decreasing trend with the quadratic function.

Generally, the SOC also showed an increasing trend with increasing duration after CCF.

Since the 1980s, the tropical CPTT has shown not only interannual variations, but also a decreasing trend.

bilix may be significant to further evaluate the validity of Hacrobia monophyly, and the plastid evolution of the descendants of the last common ancestor of cryptophytes and/or haptophytes.

At the higher diclofenac concentrations, Gata4 expression showed a trend towards inhibition, but this was significant only in the 15.20 μM treatment at 1 dpt ( Fig. 4D , AGE was shown in Fig.

Although As concentration levels in the plants are very much different between soils the P-fertilization has a highly significant influence on As concentrations in aboveground plant parts on both soils ( Table S2 ).

But it has also been shown that this is likely to be significant only when providing As(V) in solution 38 .
