The difference in domain wall dynamics might be significant in the weak electric field regime.

Dividing the long-term record into early and late 40-year periods reveals an increasing trend in precipitation in the coastal zone, with the interior increasing faster than at the coastline.

We also detected the transcription of PTI-related genes in OsPT8 RNAi plants after treatment with the two PAMP elicitors, and transcription of these genes was similar to the level determined in wide-type NPB, which showed a trend similar to the expression analyses observed in the investigations of inoculation and defense genes (Fig.

P < 0.05 was considered significant, and p < 0.1 was considered marginally significant.

The Al tolerance of 11 species in six genera of the Brassicaceae indicates highly significant differences among them 41 .

The tensile modulus of polylactide/hydrochar composites exhibited an increasing trend with hydrochar loadings as shown in Fig. 5(b) .

During drought, the mean L s values of OsEPF1 OE plants showed a trend toward being lower than controls, but this was not significant (P = 0.4005).

Furthermore, GRSF1 knockdown caused a statistically significant increase in IL-6 production (0.75 pg/ml ± 0.0017, n = 3) compared to control cells (0.57 pg/ml ± 0.03, n = 3) and a negative trend in IL-8 production (5.35 ± 1.29 pg/ml, n = 3) compared to control cells (7.68 ± 0.349 pg/ml, n = 3).

In our study case, we have detected: an increase in b-value after impoundment, an increment of rate for shallowest events (h ≤ 10 km), an increasing trend of higher magnitude events and a possible trigger effect on local faults.

Consistent with these observations we found that AD patients showed increased neural activity over the right posterior middle temporal cortex compared to age-matched controls and that these patterns showed a significant trend in its associations with peak behavioral response in pitch perturbation paradigm.

There is a clear trend in Fig. 1a showing that membranes in inhibited cells (WT-DCMU) relax slower than membranes in uninhibited cells (WT) in dark conditions.

When considering both set of experiments performed using different initial amount of VCL, a clear trend can be observed: as the BIS concentration increases, the degree of aggregation observed after the Tp decreases (Fig. 4 ).

Although a recent systematic review of 12 studies reported a decreasing trend of mean sleep duration from the 1960s until 2000s in a few Asian and European populations 7 , there is a dearth of data exploring temporal changes in sleep duration in children and adolescents.

We considered as marginally significant the statistical comparison for which the p-value before correction was inferior to 0.05.

A decreasing trend among DC with increasing concentration was found among all the four treatments groups.

Although not statistically significant, the concentration of apoA1 showed a trend for a decrease during culturing time in the apical (maternal) chamber (0.28 ± 0.20 ng/mL, 0.14 ± 0.07 ng/mL and −0.02 ± 0.12 ng/mL for day 1, 3 and 5, respectively; Fig. 3A ).

The observed low niche similarity of the Northern clade compared to the Southern clade is significantly not different by chance and vice versa (Fig. 6B , 5,6).

In addition, although it was not statistically significant, the renal expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) showed a trend toward increase in the Ang II group compared with the vehicle group, and this increase showed a trend toward attenuation in the Ang II + RKT group (Fig. 4F ).

The distribution of data from Gladstone and Hervey Bay showed signs of bimodality for one or both isotopes, but given the robustness of parametric ANOVA models to mild departures from the normality assumption, as well as the highly significant p values for both isotopes, we consider this test to represent the best available assessment of the data.

All factors and their interactions were highly significant with the exception of the interaction between Algorithm and Trait.

We observed a weak trend, that HEB-YIELD lines under drought and salt stress exhibited an accelerated plant development, presumably to escape the stress condition, which is in agreement with other studies in cereals 32 , 41 .

4b , the effect of temperature on the yield of genistein is highly significant.

Meteorological conditions in East Asia and Taiwan (1979–2017) The long-term analysis by the Central Weather Bureau (CWB) surface weather stations in Taiwan indicated an increasing trend of surface temperature and a decreasing trend of surface pressure (Fig.

Compared to the MSC-Ex treatment, however, UM-MSCs showed a trend towards a stronger reduction of the clinical symptom scores (Fig. 3B ).

Analysis of the Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) for neuronal pairs revealed a small, yet highly significant increase in pairwise correlations in R6/2 mice at all imaging time points (WT, 88580 cell pairs at 6.5 weeks, 114020 cell pairs at 7.5 weeks, 111645 cell pairs at 8.5 weeks, 91655 cell pairs at 9.5 weeks, from 6 mice; R6/2, 143716 cell pairs at 6.5 weeks, 164325 cell pairs at 7.5 weeks, 211011 cell pairs at 8.5 weeks, 222328 cell pairs at 9.5 weeks, from 5 mice; Wilcoxon rank-sum test, WT vs.
