Excerpts

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.

Another explanation could be the low number of UA patients included in the study would not allow the Cuzick’s test to detect a significant trend in Gal1 levels along the follow-up.

5 h), reduction in SMC nuclei showed a trend towards improvement with X203 treatment although this did not reach significance ( P = 0.123; Fig. 5 i).

Remarkably, the medians of the most highly significant cross-correlations between the two datasets revealed similar variability, with lags of 25–50 and 50–100 years during the MWP and LIA, respectively (Fig. 3 ).

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).

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

Interestingly, the relative abundance of Firmicutes in the 10–25 cm soil layer showed a trend of increasing as the slope position decreases, while the opposite was true in the 25–40 cm soil layer (Fig. 2 and Supplementary Table S2 ).

Ideally, a good soil invertebrate indicator should have an increasing trend in the representation of the invertebrate group across succession, to provide an indication if secondary forest soils are on a trajectory to that of a primary forest.

17 used a combination of three salt-tolerant bacteria to treat saline petrochemical wastewater and obtained a COD removal efficiency of 78.7%-61.5%, which shown a decreasing trend along with increasing the organic loading rate.

4 a, the relative permeability of the strain membrane generally showed an increasing trend with increased salt concentrations.

In the entire cohort, patients without confirmation showed a trend toward decreased actuarial LCR compared with patients with histological confirmation.

cornifrons did not exhibit any significant changes in raw abundance over the thirteen-year period, and it is unclear if the lack of a significant trend indicates stability over time or lack of precision in estimates due to spatial and temporal variability.

Moreover, the observed doubled torsional rigidity of MafB-bound MARE-DNA, we believe, is a local effect created by the protein, however highlighting an important trend that a specifically bound protein can inhibit the propagation of supercoiling thus likely leading to the accumulation of supercoiling at the flanking sites of MARE rather than within the TF-bound region, which can contribute to the regulation of transcription of near-located genes.

Our results showed that there was an increasing trend of tissue B concentration in canola with soil fertilization.

Comparing gene expression levels of miR-71a in BBC and NBBC, a highly significant difference was noted, with enhanced expression in the BBC group.

In particular Ram #2 and Ram #3 had a considerably significant higher percentage of DSBs compare to Ram #1 (Ram #2, 93.57 ± 0.97; Ram #3, 93.97 ± 0.97 vs Ram #1, 76.13 ± 0.97;) and consequently significant lower percentage of SSBs (Ram #2, 5.80 ± 0.85; Ram #3, 2.04 ± 0.85 vs Ram #1, 7.61 ± 0.85).

Although there was a slight trend for decreased alternans at slower PCLs (Fig. 5 H), this was not significant.
