Excerpts

Some authors have explained a decreasing trend for the warming effect after several years of warming by hypothesizing depletion of the labile C pools 18 , 19 .

Optomechanics is thus not only fundamentally important, as it provides a setting to understand the physics of optical-mechanical interactions 3 6 7 , but also practically significant with applications ranging from ultra-precision measurements 2 8 9 , light-matter entanglement 10 11 12 , mechanical memory 13 , tunable optical coupler 14 , classical state preparation through squeezing 15 16 , optical transparency 17 , and photon shuttling 18 to creation of nonclassical light 19 20 and cooling of microscopic or mesoscopic objects 21 22 .

MiR-34a gene expression also showed a trend towards an increase with age (data not shown), in agreement others previous finding in aged mice 24 .

Though not significant, we observed a clear trend towards an upregulation of the fetal gene nppa ( Fig. 5F ).

Lag-1 autocorrelation shows a decreasing trend in experiments while we observe an increasing trend in the model.

20 applied micro-CT analysis to determine a significant increase in the intensity of the trabecular orientation in the primary trabecular direction and a strong trend of decreasing trabecular connectivity with age.

Analysis of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) found an increasing trend from 2004 to 2007 followed by a more gradual decrease from 2008 to 2013 13 .

Serum bilirubin displayed a pattern of decreasing risk with increasing quartile levels, reaching a borderline significance when comparing the lowest to the highest quartile (HR = 1.16, 95% CI = 0.96 to 1.40).

Subgroup effects and interactive effects of SUA and TBIL on CVD The ORs of high versus low SUA were highly significant among patients with TBIL <11.5 umol/l (univariable OR: 5.21, 95%CI: 4.02–6.81; multivariable OR: 5.25, 95%CI: 4.06–6.81) but the ORs of high versus low SUA was greatly attenuated and became non-significant among patients with TBIL ≥ 11.5 umol/l (univariable OR: 0.82, 95%CI: 0.64–1.05; multivariable OR: 0.80, 95%CI: 0.62–1.04).

Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) was measured by using IVIS ( in vivo imaging system) Lumina II system (PerkinElmer) 5 minutes after addition of the substrate, which demonstrated a highly significant correlation (R 2 = 0.99) between total photon flux and number of Hey A8-F8 cells present in vitro .

Nevertheless, the difference between groups was highly significant.

An apparent trend of enhanced spheroid formation in paclitaxel resistant cells compared to cisplatin resistant cells might result from increased pluripotent gene expression at early stage.

In addition, we observed a decreasing trend of SLC30A7 in PCa of EA samples; however, the data were not statistically significant.

Grain yield per plant The GYPP is an important agronomic trait, and QTLs and HLs associated with GYPP are highly significant for rice breeding and improving rice outputs.

Conclution Further academic significance from our discovery of ice-induced silt mushrooms, may be as follows: Ice-induced silt mushroom is a new type of sedimentary structure; its discovery may be significant to complete basic theories upon sedimentology.

4A , a highly significant difference is found in the θ band during the 3# period on these electrode pairs.

The meat color value at 1 h postmortem was significantly increased ( P < 0.01), and there was no significant difference in color at 24 h postmortem between the cortisol and control groups, but the color value showed an increasing trend ( Fig. 2A ).

There was no significant difference in the content of LDH in the blood between the cortisol group and control group, but the LDH content showed a decreasing trend.

OS also showed a 0.7-month increase in the S-1-based combination therapy group, although this was only of borderline significance.

This suggests that its role in the signal propagation mechanism in the protein family may be significant.

Unpaired t-test was employed (Prism, GraphPad Software (version 4.0a), Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) and a probability value of p < 0.05 was considered significant and of p < 0.01 highly significant.

P < 0.05 was considered significant; P < 0.01 was considered highly significant.

TCW did not show a clear trend after fires.

It is observed in the ANOVA test that for the first-order main effects, x 1 and x 3 are more highly significant than x 2 .

genes with bivalent chromatin in their promoter regions or gene bodies, have a highly significant enrichment of the gene ontology (GO)-terms related to transcriptional activity and developmental processes, but also, e.g., to metabolic processes (see Fig. 1B , Supplementary Table S2 ).
