On contrast, non-summer fish kills were associated with a constant northeastward direction with little change in wind direction, and a decreasing trend of WS that periodically dropped to almost zero m/s between the 3rd to the 6th days (Fig. 3 ).

We found a highly significant decrease in presence of rifampicin, but also IL-26 significantly reduced the number of CFUs (Fig. 2 d).

There was a highly significant correlation between the online proprioceptive acuity, as measured by the CCM task, and the difference between post minus pre tool-use on most of the kinematic parameters: acceleration: r = 0.802 , p < 0.001; velocity: r = 0.769, p < 0.00012; deceleration: r = 0.766, p < 0.00013; latency of velocity: r = − 0.707, p < 0.00071; latency of deceleration: r = − 0.665, p < 0.0019; movement time: r = − 0.770, p < 0.00012; latency of maximum grip aperture: r = − 0.742, p < 0.00065 (all p values are Bonferroni corrected).

Although a positive trend was observed for CyA and UAMC-00050, these results were not statistically significant.

We also found a non-significant U-shape dose–response effect of vitamin E (or α-tocopherol) dosage on the reduction of serum CRP in which the effect had a gradually increasing trend from 0 to 400 mg/day and then it had a decreasing trend from 400 to 1000 mg/day; such that at the dosages of ≥ 1000 mg/day, vitamin E had no significant effect on serum CRP concentrations.

The ZFC curve for the sample A200C provides only an almost insignificant slightly increased T B of 110(1) K, corresponding to a magnetization of 1.49 emu/g.

Apart from the changing patterns of precipitation, vapor pressure deficit and longer drought periods 7 , 9 , an increasing trend of human habitation at the wildland-urban interface (WUI) has rendered the problem of wildfire management particularly complex.

A numerical trend was observed towards upregulation of Fra-1 gene in the HS sham group followed by an inclination towards downregulation in both the SP5 and SFO regions within the LLTS treated group.

A decreasing trend is observed in the TB incidence and mortality in India and other South-East Asian countries like Vietnam and Myanmar.

ApaI genotypes showed a highly significant different distribution between JIA patients and unaffected controls, with both the TT genotype and the T allele significantly more frequent in patient group.

The interaction between IOP and sex reached marginal significance.

Further experiments have seen with an increasing trend of yield till 0.21 ± 0.02 mm size of the seed (bio-oil yield as 28.30 ± 0.4%) after which for the seed size of 0.15 ± 0.02 mm, the bio-oil yield get declined.

There was a weak trend towards regions with a higher per cent coral reef cover having a larger proportion of fishery catch for species that use live corals.

We readily observe that in this case the data are not peaked at the intermediate time but show a clear trend to increase.

However, interannual variability in temperature is considerably large in recent decades, which is expected to trigger an increasing trend of variation in vegetation phenology.

Using this model, electroporation showed a trend towards increased efficiency in overall mutagenesis rate when compared with microinjection, however, this failed to reach statistical significance (β = 0.1448; p value = 0.662).

The Women's Health Initiative Observational Study reported a borderline significant increased risk of colorectal cancer associated with higher coffee consumption, which is in contrast with the potential anticarcinogenic effect of coffee constituents 34 .

Absolute neutrophil count and aspirated BALF volume with a significant trend affected BDG assay performance.

Our analysis affirmed a higher neutrophil count during sampling as a factor adversely affecting BDG test performance within an IFD prediction with a statistical trend in significance (Table 3 ).

The principal component analysis (PCA) score plot did not show an obvious trend of separation between the vitiligo patients and the healthy controls (Fig. 2 a).

In our analyses, NOTCH4 and CEP290 , whose roles in heart development and the ciliome have been previously described 36 , 37 , were found to have nominally significant associations with DS + AVSD in both WES and WGS datasets.

Even though MMP-9 showed a clear trend to be increased in the TBI, lack of significant differences between iNPH and TBI groups might be partially explained by its association with age (since the difference between the groups lost its significance after age-adjustment).

Although there was a slight trend towards increased adipose tissue NEFA in WT mice under HS conditions, no significant changes were observed.

The polynomial equations fitted by soil samples 2, 7, 10, and 11 had extremely significant correlations, while that of the other samples had significant correlations.

The effect of bentonite amendment addition to soil showed a trend of increased FC over time at deeper layers.
