Excerpts

Storm surge intensities at three of the tide gauges (Qinhuangdao, Huludao and Tanggu) exhibited a decreasing trend from 1980 to 2016, with trends significant at the 95% level at Qinhuangdao and Tanggu.

Regarding energy metabolism, indirect calorimetry showed no differences in ND, whereas NMR showed a trend towards increased fat content over time mainly in male mutants.

The higher percentage of IL-13 from psoriatic CD4+ Tregs was significant or nearly significant compared to control Tregs (Fig. 9E ).

We observed an interesting trend in the expression pattern of the first repeat in the CRISPR array.

We do not have sufficient CH 4 data (n = 13) to see a clear trend relative to the salinity but the average CH 4 concentration (523.1 ± 1,231 nM; Table 1 ) in the SGD is clearly higher than that in the local surface seawater (240 ± 554 nM; Table 1 ).

Quantitatively, the p65 activity calculated from the average intensity value in inflamed NP cells was shown to have an increasing trend by potential contributing factors derived from macrophages and most of the detected activity was located in the nucleus at 45 and 60 min compared with naïve NP cells (Fig. 3B ).

Group comparisons were considered to be statistically non-significant (ns) if the calculated P-value was greater than 0.05, significant (*) with P = 0.01 to 0.05, very significant (**) with P = 0.001 to 0.01 and extremely significant (***) when the P-value was less than 0.001.

We selected highly significant DEGs from among the metabolic genes mapped onto the iRno model based on a strict FDR cut-off of less than 0.05.

Nevertheless, an interesting trend was observed: 4 of 5 device-associated infection isolates belonged to CC3 (VT T 16).

After injection of the high dose, HW/BW ratios showed a trend towards an increased HW/BW ratio, both at 2 and 4 weeks after injection (Fig. 2A ).

The density correlation function indicated a highly significant negative density dependence in circular neighbourhoods up to 150 m and beyond 350 m diameter for a tree’s estimated seed production and AGB, respectively, with the strongest correlations occurring between 20 and 100 m (Fig. 3a,c ).

However, we did notice an increasing trend in β-Catenin protein levels in the CRB1 rd8 mouse brain areas analyzed.

Values of *P < 0.05 were considered significant and **P < 0.01 highly significant.

Dunes distributed along the entire studied reach and the distribution density of very large dunes (wavelength greater than 100 m) showed a decreasing trend from Datong to the river mouth.

DEGs encoding GSPs The expression of GSPs genes exhibited an increasing trend from 10 DAA, and reached the maximum during 30~35 DAA (Table 5 ).

Extremely significant and positive correlation was found between GI and DNC in spike, whereas negative correlation was detected between GI and DNC in leaf, stem and sheath.

Above the threshold current, the microwave instability induces an energy spread increase that may be significant even at low beam intensity.

We also found a marginally significant interaction effect of soil conditioning × sterilization × arthropods on belowground biomass (Table 1 ).

Averaged moisture above 60 cm revealed a small increase or little change in spring, with the maximum in summer and followed by a decreasing trend in autumn under all four treatments.

Soil CO 2 generally displayed an increasing trend in spring and summer, followed by a decreasing trend in autumn and winter.

In addition, some studies presented analysis of hundreds of MicroPlaSter plasma device treatments in tens of patients’ wounds with a highly significant reduction of bacterial load in infected wounds regardless of the type of bacteria and no side-effects occurred 31 , 32 .

Though IRT-based reliability metrics (standard error of ability estimates, simulated test-retest reliability) only predicted a minor decrease in reliability, the empirical test-retest reliability estimates are much lower than observed in the laboratory-based Study 3, with the correlation between ability estimates across the two test waves only marginally significant after 25 items.

6c ); also NP-40 insoluble species of TDP-35 showed a trend of reduction in presence of BAG3, but differences are not significative.

β-cyanin, β-xanthin and betalain had highly significant positive correlations among each other and with TPC, TAC (DPPH) and TAC (ABTS + ).

Moreover, there was an increasing trend in the volume maintenance (implant’s thickness) and myofiber formation with increasing cell density; however, there were no significant differences in the dimensional maintenance and myofiber formation between the cell densities of 30 × 10 6 and 50 × 10 6 cells/ml.
