Excerpts

The results indicated that after the first two stimulations, there is a decreasing trend in the proportion of good responders and in the number of oocytes retrieved with increasing times of ovarian stimulations.

A clear trend was apparent among amino acid residues having aliphatic and aromatic side chains ( Table 4 ).

Separate from tests for gene-environment interactions, time spent outdoors itself was not associated with myopia in 3 of the 5 cross-sectional studies (GZT, STARS, and TEDS) and the association was of borderline significance in another (TEDS).

However, for attempted suicide, we identified depression, but not anxiety, to be a marginally significant factor.

Conclusions In summary, the MD simulation results presented in this paper show that the proposed RCNT-MF device provides a distinctly significant tool in reverse osmosis desalination comparing to the current CNT desalination device 50 .

Though a very little fraction of ZA was released by the material over 7-days, the cytotoxicity (A549 cells) caused by the released fraction had a decreasing trend with time as seen in Fig. 1D .

T-tests determined the level of significance in the differences, and p values less than 0.05 and 0.01 were considered significant and highly significant, respectively.

Trends were estimated for each metapopulation, and represent the balance of local extinctions and colonizations over each time-series; a negative trend occurs when extinctions exceed colonizations.

However, analysing the data of 18206 women with BP intake over a period of two to five years, a highly significant reduction in local and distant recurrence, bone recurrence and breast cancer mortality was confirmed for postmenopausal women, whereas no effect could be shown for premenopausal women 23 .

There is an obvious trend in ROS more easily reacting with brain tissues to cause nervous damage owing to the higher oxygen consumption and lipid content.

Zhou 22 also found there was a highly significant association between soil available nitrogen and organic matter in the maize zone of Jilin Province, and similarly for the tobacco growing soils in Yunnan (Wang 23 ).

radiata displayed a clear trend of a greater reliance on diffusive CO 2 as a carbon source for photosynthesis in treatments with lower daytime pH, as hypothesized initially.

The most highly significant change in Serpin abundance between wild type and dystrophic muscle was for the leukocyte elastase inhibitor Serpinb1a ( Fig. 2a ) that was increased over six-fold in dystrophic muscle compared to wild type muscle at 3 months and over seven-fold at 7.5 months ( Figs 2 a and 3 b).

Four of the six most abundant OTUs in the whole dataset were classified as Ascomycota and each showed a decreasing trend with deglaciated age.

In contrast, with carboplatin chemotherapy, there is an increasing trend of nodular disruption starting from the day of treatment (surface-area-to-volume ratio of ~0.085) to four days post-treatment (surface-area-to-volume ratio of ~0.13) 23 .

For the shorter period 1957–2013, from which data on atmospheric pressure are available from several meteorological stations, there was a highly significant positive correlation between mean atmospheric pressure in June from the four Norwegian cities Kristiansand, Bergen, Oslo and Trondheim ( Table 2 and Fig. 3 ).

In our analysis, it was also found that there is a highly significant correlation between the presence of DMVs and spherules within the same IBV infected cell or DMVs and CM within the same MHV infected cell.

The prophylactic treatment of 3-month-old 3 × Tg-AD mice showed a trend toward the generation and maintenance of relatively stable and adequate antibody levels over a 7-month period after the last vaccination.

Monocentrics universally showed an increase in the proportion of G2 cells, and this increase was largely significant (in 12 of 13 species) or nearly significant (in Lavandula angustifolia ) ( Supplementary Figure S4 ).

However, unadjusted analysis showed a trend of negative correlation between YMRS scores and BDNF and TGF-β1 levels.

However, we observed an increasing trend of injury score with increasing peak overpressure and impulse.

Strikingly, a highly significant reduction in the proportion of axon tips enriched for GFP-APCΔK was found when compared to GFP-APC (72.7% reduction: Fig. 4b ,c).

F ST for these genes thus ranged from 0.192–0.698 43 , with all indicating highly significant genetic differentiation among C. guizhouensis populations ( Table 1 ).

Spectra showed an increasing trend in the visible region from severity 1 to severity 4 in infected leaves, which was consistent with the measured Chl -BA and Car -BA content variations shown in Fig. 1 .
