Excerpts

Out of 20 stations, 5 stations showed an increasing trend of ET o,s ; 11 stations showed a decreasing trend and 4 stations showed no trend of ET o,s .

Additionally, we chose miRNA-29a-3p and miRNA-210-3p with a fold change ≤ 2, failed in our screening experiment, due to their probable significance in diseases associated with fibrosis found in databases (Table 1 ).

However, some studies found that PUE exhibited a unimodal pattern with an increasing trend in dry regions and a decreasing trend in mesic regions 10 – 12 .

With disease progression, we observed nominally significant increases in plasma arginine, citrulline, and glycine, with decreases in total and d -serine, cholesterol esters, diacylglycerides, triacylglycerides, phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylethanolamines, and sphingomyelins.

Effects on granulosa cell steroidogenic pathway and gonadotropin sensitivity The expression of StAR transcripts in the WT cells treated BMP-4 showed a decreasing trend with a significant fall in the 72 h group.

Our findings suggested that there may be significant associations of gender, marital status, education, wealth and body fat with changes in SMM and consequently in the likelihood of sarcopenia.

Marginally non-significant quadratic trends were also observed between male age and song frequency bandwidth, and peak trill frequency (Table 1 ), where values for these vocal traits increased in young males, peaked around 6 years, and decreased in late-life.

We observed among the 3,358 co-expressed pairs a highly significant enrichment of divergent (14%), same-strand (32%) and sense intronics (49%) configurations, and a significant enrichment of antisense (9%) compared to convergent (7%).

Meanwhile, a highly significant correlation (R 2 = 0.9126) was found between the qRT-PCR results and the RNA-seq data for the 12 candidate unigenes (Fig. 10 ) which also suggests that the RNA-seq data are reliable and reflect the expression levels of the transcripts.

There was no significant difference between 500 μM calcium EP and untreated cells although there was a slight trend of decreased viability.

As shown in Table 1 , the order of the six sampling sites exhibited an increasing trend in salinization.

Moreover, the counties with smaller correlation coefficients between SDI and new infection rates tend to have an increasing trend in the cumulative number of confirmed cases at the end of the study period.

In the simple regression model, the temporal lobe had the greatest number of regions with highly significant correlations (three regions), followed by the parietal lobe (also with three regions, but less significant compared with the temporal lobe).

In the present study, noise-exposed animals showed a trend for increases in startle amplitude at several frequency bands.

Interestingly, Euryarchaeaota and WSA2 showed a decreasing trend with depth indicating that a decrease in the methanogen population (and in turn methane production) resulted in a relative enrichment of the carbon isotope signal.

Before Bragg-dip mapping of the bar samples is attempted, it is important to discuss an interesting trend observed in Fig. 6 a,b.

GC also showed a trend towards higher values in dystonia than controls.

It is important to highlight that each item had a different ‘weight’ according to its potential impact on animal health and welfare 53 , so that the score assigned was considered more or less significant in the calculation of the final value.

rubiplumus ) and ancient traces measured on fossil whale bones a possible trend in borehole size increasing from the Oligocene (0.1–0.45 mm) to today (0.1–2.0 mm) is recognized 6 .

In conclusion, the three internal controls gave completely different results (the difference between the mean Cts of HSs and patients is equal to about 1—but not significant, 4—near to significance, and 6—highly significant) so that the idea of internal control and normalization appears not applicable to this context.

tigurinus clade 071 and other non-mutan Streptococcus exhibit a highly significant difference in SC and RC group from that of the CF group.

It was reported 16 that a highly significant curvature effect in the regression model developed for the conventional heating transesterification process for biodiesel production using the DBSA catalyst was observed.

This range of temperature was higher than that used for conventional alkaline catalyzed reaction, but the difference was almost insignificant, and this higher temperature made purification of product mixture easy 16 .

In contrast, the low and high BSA-adjusted pirfenidone groups showed a decreasing trend in FVC change compared with the control group, although the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.051).

In the Cu-air specimens, both QY and normalized TSL intensity showed a decreasing trend from 0.01 to 0.05% while, from 0.05 to 0.10%, QY decreased and normalized TSL intensity increased.
