Excerpts

The test indicated that the OCI temperature showed a significant decreasing trend, whereas the T observe showed an highly significant increasing trend, which is consistent with previous research 38 .

They did not report the main effect of mimicry, but report a near-significant positive effect of mimicry on how non-anxious women evaluated the avatar in terms of likeability and friendliness.

A decreasing trend in lacunar porosity and density could however be noticed due to ageing, and also when comparing the HFD group with the CTRL controls.

In general, we found that PUE showed an increasing trend along the HMI gradient from approximately 0.18 mm °C −1 to the most humid sites 0.4 mm °C −1 ( Fig. 3c ), being partly consistent with the positive linear relationship between PUE and mean annual precipitation (MAP) reported by Hu, et al . 42 .

For litters evaluated at PN3, χ 2 did not reach significance, ( Supplementary Table S1 ) although the data showed a trend toward a lower than expected number of Celf1 −/− animals.

Although the incidence and mortality rates have shown a decreasing trend during the past decades in many parts of the world 1 2 , the incidence rate has slightly increased and the mortality rate has remained stable in China 3 4 .

By performing a linear regression analysis, highly significant linear correlations between enzyme concentration and the rate of change of the fluorescence signal was seen ( Fig. 6d ).

When comparing the RFU of lignin at different concentrations, an increasing trend was observed, which reached a plateau above 2.5 mg/ml of lignin ( Fig. 2b ).

At the regional scale, a negative trend in mortality rate is seen in East Asia and the Pacific, Europe and Central Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East and North Africa.

On the other hand, global loss rates showed a decreasing trend in both J15 and our study for the period 1990–2010.

The annual total number of reported fatalities and the value of reported economic losses from flooding in the EM-DAT show an increasing trend between 1960 and 2013 (1.5% per year for the annual total number of reported fatalities and 6.3% per year for the value of reported economic losses; bars in Fig. 1b,c ).

The loss rate in countries with lower-middle income shows a negative trend, while that in countries with upper-middle income shows a positive trend.

Furthermore, Mantel test analysis showed a trend of increasing genetic differentiation with increasing geographical distance.

While some interactions appeared nominally significant none survived Bonferroni correction.

On the other hand, SIC showed a slightly increasing trend over depth.

Similarly, total dissolved solid also showed an increasing trend with soil depth from 576 mg kg −1 to 1078 mg kg −1 .

However, three of the DMRs, HOXB3/HOXB4 , LOC648987 and HOXA5 , showed a trend towards an increase in methylation in the metastasizing tumors as illustrated in Fig. 3a–c .

In general, δ 13 C of C 2 -C 4 diacids showed an increasing trend with decreasing chain length.

The third, although the highly significant association between MBL deficiency and increased susceptibility to TB derives from a biologically based a priori hypothesis, the initial findings presented here should be independently verified in other subpopulations of ethnic Chinese origin (e.g. southern Chinese) or of different ancestry.

Additionally, the monthly anomaly of the total surface waters (S a,l+r ) also displayed an increasing trend of 162.80 million m 3 /month over the 15-year period, which is due to the dominant roles of reservoirs in the total surface water storage.

The results show that 53.91% of the lakes experienced significant decreasing trends in water storage during this period, and the total water storage in lakes showed a decreasing trend of 14 million m 3 month −1 .

Strong collagen binding of Pt was observed in both PDX models tested, and the intensity was highly significant when compared to epithelial tumor tissue ( Fig. 1e ).

epidermidis group that developed VAP was highly significant (LDA > 4).

As the results shown, with the increasing of BRS-3D features, the models showed a trend of increasing prediction accuracy.

For instance, there may be significant variations with respect to design, sample size and patient selection which cannot be incorporated by our network meta-analysis.
