Excerpts

The effect is quite significant for plasmonic particle cluster, but can also be observed in structures with other morphologies.

In contrast, in oocytes current amplitudes were similar, with a small trend for higher amplitudes in the mutant ( Fig. 6C ).

These effects were clearly visible in the case of the PA-particles and observed as a slight trend in the case of the 80/20 spheres ( Figs 5 and 6 ).

These variables showed an increasing trend with the reforestation age.

Flower size of Rosa species showed a marginally significant decrease over the past century.

However, flower size of Rosa species showed a decreasing trend in the past century, indicating a reduced investment on flower size in Rosa .

P-values < 0.05 were considered as statistically significant; p < 0.01 very significant; and p < 0.001 extremely significant.

Although many of the diagnoses were non-specific, senile nuclear cataract was increased after all plasma cell dyscrasias (after WM and AL amyloidosis of borderline significance, i.e., the lower 95%CI was close to 1.00).

We estimated the global CC prevalence to be 4.24/10,000, with the highest prevalence observed in Asia and an increasing trend reported through the year 2000.

Changes in soil bacterial abundance, diversity and composition The soil bacterial 16S rRNA gene copy abundance differed significantly (p < 0.05) and displayed an increasing trend from FL to RP40 after afforestation ( Fig. 1g ).

Similar to the findings in CP/CPPS patients, elevated levels of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-13, and TNF-α were observed in CP/CPPS rat prostates, and these elevated cytokine levels showed a positive trend in their correlation with anxiety, depression, and memory impairment.

Though there was a slight trend for α-synuclein to decrease in patients with Parkinson’s disease compared to controls ,we showed total salivary α-synuclein levels would not suffice as a single biomarker for diagnosis.

Sample size in the present study was still limited, especially for some stratifications, therefore, some polymorphisms with mildly significant effects might not be detected.

P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant and marked as *P < 0.01 was considered to be statistically highly significant and marked as**.

Importantly, the core sets originating from CpGs associated with pubertal age and reproductive hormones, respectively, showed a highly significant overlap (p-value: < 0.0001; Fig. 2c ). 52 CpGs showed association to both reproductive hormones and pubertal age ( Supplementary Table 6 ) and included 5 (10%) and 6 (12%) CpGs in the proximity of the genes TRIP6 and KCNAB3 , respectively.

The predictive statistical model was able to generate a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve with an area under the curve of 0.8734 which is considered to be extremely significant.

This is highly significant as it promises to suppress the dominant efficiency-limiting loss processes in near-infrared lasers, namely Auger recombination, involving the generation of “hot” holes in the spin-orbit split-off band (the so-called “CHSH” process), and inter-valence band absorption (IVBA), where emitted photons are re-absorbed in the active region, thereby increasing the internal optical losses and negatively impacting upon the laser characteristics 9 , 10 , 11 .

The estimated effect of trade as a percent of gross domestic product is positive, marginally statistically significant, and very similar in value for the OLS and robust regression models.

However, there remain quite significant limitations in the clinical application of not only common gene delivery methods (e.g., nano-liposomes and electroporation), but also the use of retroviral or lentiviral vector systems, due to the lack of an efficient and safe vector system for gene delivery 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 .

Sample concentration prior analysis was needed, since the bilirubin signal intensity ( m / z of 583,2) in the analysed sample (from the control group) was almost insignificant (under LOD), as shown in Supplementary Information (Figure S3) .

1.4 ± 17.5 pg/ml and 174.8 ± 61.5 pg/ml, p < 0.001 and p < 0.01), and these levels showed an increasing trend with the grade of retinopathy.

In the strongly rooted upper subsoil (10 and 35 cm depths), the contents of plant-derived n- alkanes (C 25 -C 33 ) decreased significantly (p = 0.02) between the 10 and 35 cm depths and then remained constant with a slightly increasing trend below the 35 cm depth ( Fig. 2 ).

This index showed a decreasing trend from the 10 cm depth (6.6 ± 0.2) to the 35 cm depth (5.2 ± 0.4), but strongly increased below the 60 cm depth to a maximum value of 11.1 ± 0.2 (85 cm depth) in the deeper subsoil.

If not, n G ( t ) [ n D ( t )] shows a decreasing trend at time t .

Methods Relative growth rates We define the relative growth rates v G ( t ) of n G ( t ) and v D ( t ) of n D ( t ) to be and If v G ( t ) > 0 [ v D ( t ) > 0], n G ( t ) [ n D ( t )] shows an increasing trend at time t .
