It followed a decreasing trend from 2014 to 2016, but reached maximum numbers in 2017.

In addition, the mean number of alerts per hour in the ward was not significantly different but showed a trend of increase when the dogs were adults (Fig. 6B ).

Figure 3(b) shows an interesting trend in which the current flowing through the PEDOT:PSS fiber (10 wt%) rapidly increased when immersed in pure water and in DI water with 0.1% of KCl, with 0.1% of lactic acid, and with 0.01% of glucose solution.

In the group of RRMS patients that switched to fingolimod or alemtuzumab there was a slight trend that those with higher baseline CSF GAP-43 concentration more often achieved clinical disability improvement (CDI; EDSS improvement of ≥1 point for those with an EDSS of ≥ 2 points at baseline, excluding 5 patients as they did not have EDSS ≥ 2 at baseline), but not significant [CDI at follow-up ( n = 5): 1930 (1471–2999) pg/mL, no CDI at follow-up ( n = 25): 1717 (1354–2398) pg/mL, p = 0.58].

A more recent nationwide study involving 2,008,561 women before pregnancy reported even lower prevalence (2.6%) 47 , depicting a decreasing trend in younger generations in rural areas.

Moreover, only the Premotor group showed a slightly significant increase in MEP amplitude post-tDCS.

Induction of labour No significant differences were identified between SVD and IOL, but there were trends for higher CPT1 activity markers (AC 18:0/AC 0, AC 16:0/AC 0, AC 18:1/AC 0) and NEFA 26:0, and a negative trend for free carnitine.

Moreover, differences for the second component scores (tests of visuo-motor control) showed a greater separation between the two groups that was marginally significant.

The marginal significance was due to those with a history of concussion ( M = −0.556, SE = 0.232) having more negative Component 2 scores than those without a history of concussion ( M = 0.169, SE = 0.128).

The main effects ‘gdh’ and ‘treatment’ were highly significant with p-values of 0.0002 and 0.0088, respectively.

19 found that grain yield per plant showed a highly significant positive correlation with the 1000-grain weight, plant height and planting density.

Instead, the mice showed a trend in increased saliva production with higher % area of inflammation.

Of course, a reduction of such a factor in the experimental investments and efforts would be extremely significant, given the cost of running present day large fusion devices.

In contrast, the decadal time series of PC8 shows several moving decades outside the significant thresholds and is dominated by an increasing trend that began in the 1970s and continued unabated until 2015 (Fig. 6H ).

The PC6 mean monthly record from Tierra del Fuego also shows a positive trend in surface runoff during the period of available measurements (from December 1980 to April 2016, with two series from May 1981 onwards; Fig. 4F ).

Finally, however, Experiment 1 also demonstrated a non-spatial attentional bias towards high dominance female faces, which suggests that there may be significant differences in how attention is allocated to dominant males and females.

No significant between-group difference was apparent from after day 36 (Fig. 1 , Supplemental Fig. 3 ).

A negative trend (toward the rank of 1) indicates that the lake is getting relatively worse.

Interestingly, despite the significant effect of air temperature in the main developed GLM binomial model, randomization tests did not support this environmental signal as a predictor of Ephemeroptera occurrence in the fish diet (while probabilities obtained for other taxons were highly significant).

1a–c shows a clear trend between the lattice parameter a and the relative amount of Cs and K atoms.

In this study, we found the differences in beta diversity to be marginally significant between lower and higher IU groups.

4a showed that the CV of soil moisture content in all soil horizons has fluctuated remarkably yet showed an increasing trend along with decreasing soil water potential.

A small trend for improvement was observed for SBP at 3-months follow-up in the MBSR group.

As vascular calcification is linked to hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia 36 , 37 , the impact of these conditions on dp-ucMGP values is likely to be significant.

In the middle-upper Kunae Zone, start a positive trend from −29.5 to −28.0‰.
