Excerpts

The sample distributions of platform depth (W = 0.96, p = 0.0046) and exterior platform angle (W = 0.97, p = 0.0447) differ significantly from an underlying normal one (exterior platform angle is only borderline significant).

The best model retained average temperature and colony type because these variables improved the model in terms of AICc despite being marginally insignificant (Table 3 ).

During 2005–2016, São Paulo state, São Paulo Metropolitan Region and São Paulo City presented an increasing trend of prevalence of gastroschisis, with an annual percent change rate of 2.6%, 4.7%, and 5.0% respectively.

Despite the fact that this interaction was only close to significance, a direct comparison is of high interest for testing our a priori hypothesis that rhythmic and random effects on perception might be different 10 , 12 , 27 .

The associations for the Hannum clock were not statistically significant from any of the meta-analyses, and the rest of the associations were found to be nominally significant in at least one of the meta-analyses, with the exception that the association between number of live births and genome-wide average DNA methylation was marginally significant ( P = 0.07).

A continuous SAR is characterized by a smooth activity hypersurface, where a clear trend in biological activity could be observed upon systematic chemical changes, while a discontinuous SAR, in contrast, is described by a rugged landscape where minor structural modifications lead to drastic potency differences.

A slight trend toward positive signed error with heavier weights was observed in the passive condition but even the largest difference–between 50 and 250 g (2.7°) – was non-significant (paired-samples t-test, t (7) = 1.65, p = 0.14, N sig = 26) and the difference in signed error between the active and passive conditions at 250 g (5.1°) was also non-significant (two-sample equal-variance t-test, t (14) = 1.35, p = 0.20, N sig = 72).

The ARQ/ARQ genotype has a highly significant association with scrapie susceptibility in Greek and Canadian sheep 5 , 9 .

The prevalence of diabetes and hypertension, showed an increasing trend across the age categories, whereas a peak in the prevalence of overweight/obesity was observed for the age group 35–54 years.

During ASO, VPD shows an increasing trend over the southeastern Amazon with values of ~6 ± 2 mb over the period 1987–2016, which results from ~+2 °C warming (saturation vapor pressure, e s ) and ~−2.5 °C decrease in dew point (actual vapor pressure, e a ).

This is occurring in conjunction with a positive trend in incoming solar radiation in late dry season, which can partly be attributed to cloud reduction due to radiatively absorbing aerosols such as black carbon 21 .

We further show that There is a negative trend in evaporative fraction in the southeast Amazon, where lack of atmospheric moisture, reduced precipitation together with higher incoming solar radiation (~7% decade −1 cloud-cover reduction) influences the partitioning of surface energy fluxes towards less evapotranspiration.

In contrast, felids do not exhibit a significant trend between litter size and female body size 22 whereas canids exhibits a positive trend between litter size and female body size 22 , 78 .

Mustelids exhibit a negative trend between litter size (proxy for fecundity) and female body size, suggesting that small female body sizes are favored 27 .

A clear trend is seen between the charge applied and the resulting lattice parameters, strain-heavy IONPs are produced at higher charge/Fe experiments with compressed lattices further from the ideal value of bulk Fe 3 O 4 .

While the p value was highly significant, there was some overlap between patients and controls, resulting in a specificity of 92% and a sensitivity of 90%.

They appear to be overall most abundant in the lower part of core 479 G below approximately 310 cm core depth, but with quite significant fluctuations throughout the length of the core (Fig. 2 , S2 ).

In fact, the DNA methylation patterns of iPSC-derived cells cultured under different conditions revealed highly significant and reproducible differences.

Therefore, we next analyzed the correlation between NIP45 and NFATc1 mRNA expression in the blood cells of these children and found a highly significant direct correlation between the expression levels of these two transcription factors both in healthy controls and in asthmatic children (Fig. 2a,b , respectively).

In lung, however, we observed a >10-fold increase (with highly significant FDR corrected p-value), in the endogenous levels of hydroxyphenyl-2-hydroxyethyl oleamide (omdm-2) at both doses of amifostine tested in the study.

Furthermore, because cancers are multifactorial diseases, it has been suggested that other factors such as exposure to other carcinogens (e.g., asbestos), poor diet, past lung diseases (e.g., tuberculosis, chronic bronchitis) and genetic factors may be significant in the development of lung cancer 11 – 13 .

The S6k1 −/− mice showed a trend for being hyperactive, but this did not reach significance for either gender (males: F 1,33 = 1.266, P = 0.271; females: F 1,31 = 3.265, P = 0.080).

In our study, current smoking was not associated with 15D, but ex-smoking remained of borderline significance.

Partially controlled asthma, BMI, previous smoking and number of drugs in use (other indications than asthma/allergy) were not associated with poorer 15D score, even though the two latter had borderline significance (Table 3 ).

A decreasing trend of H 2 O 2 concentration was observed in the release media from 48 to 72 hours, that may be attributed to an ageing of H 2 O 2 , as observed in cell culture media 37 .
