There is only a slight trend that the Google Pixel C Tablet can trigger a vehicle reaction even at lower brightness levels.

For the rabbit CAP concentrations, there were very slight variations at all measured timepoints, with a slight trend for increasing as gestation progressed; concentrations were 0.67×, 1.1×, 1.9×, 2.3×, and 2.0× of GD 10 level on GD 13, 16, 19, 24, and 29, respectively.

Although there was a slight trend to higher mononuclear CM level in C57BL/6NJ mice, this difference was not statistically significant (panel B of S6 Fig ).

AXL predisposes to emergence of invasive clones after chemotherapy AXL silencing did not show a slight trend to restore breast cancer cells sensitivity to Doxorubicin and colon cancer cell sensitivity to 5FU or irinotecan (Figure 2A and B).

Overall, there was a slight trend toward repositioning the patient during the surgical procedure using 3D printing.

A slight trend in decreased mental health and functioning problems (most subscales of BASIS-24 and the IFIP question on symptom burden), and in increased recovery and quality of life (ReQoL, MANSA) were experienced in both arms, from 0 to 12 months, but all differences were non-significant.

In late childhood, lepromatous leprosy risk shows a slight trend towards male bias; although 95%CIs included 1 in all year-specific analyses ( Text S2 ), the random-effects mean IRR was estimated at 1.50 (95%CI 1.09–2.05) ( Table 2 ).

A slight trend towards improved performance in the retest condition was observed, with a mean difference (Retest - Test) of -0.28 dB (95% CI [-0.60, 0.05]), the SD of paired differences was 0.69 dB, yielding limits of agreement of -1.63 to 1.07 dB, corresponding to a small effect size (Cohen’s d = 0.40).

However, there was a slight trend toward higher melatonin levels in the sleep condition.

The predicted probabilities of the models on 100 subsets of the data showed a slight trend to the expected direction, but in the majority of the subsets, the omnibus test on the SES categorical variable was not significant.

Consistent with the results in U2OS, complementation with the WT NEIL1 that is able to bind RPA results in a slight trend towards increased in NER capacity, whereas complementation with the empty vector or the RPA-binding-deficient NEIL1 mutant did not ( Fig.

Although the values were not significant, we observed a slight trend toward the upregulation of IFN-γ with the highest concentration of AXT after four weeks of treatment.

There was a slight trend toward higher ejection fractions on S-SPECT over DNM for both rest and stress measurements.

sylvestris ) and the alignment method applied (BWA-MEM, Salmon), similar transcriptional patterns were found for both Austrian and Corsican provenances, with a large proportion of shared transcripts and a slight trend towards down-regulation.

Here, we established, for the first time, a facile assay for targeted quantitation of allelic variants at position 223 of SP-A, as well as relative levels of SP-A2 versus total SP-A, using as little as 1 mL of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. While there was no significant difference in relative SP-A2 as a function of 223 genotype, there was a slight trend toward lower SP-A2 levels versus total SP-A in the Lys223/Lys223 versus Gln223/Lys223 genotype.

In contrast, valine homozygous and heterozygous patients displayed only a slight trend towards longer survival.

In countries with AL policy, there was a slight trend that locations with higher estimated AL coverage among cases 11 (>20%) during the time period when Pfmdr1 SNP trends were measured showed more negative selection of 1246Y although this was not statistically significant( figure 4 , online supplementary table S1 ).

A slight trend of 89 Zr-leukocytes migrating to the liver over time was observed.

Higher irradiation doses resulted in increased levels of γH2AX, and there was a slight trend towards increased γH2AX levels after EGCG treatment of HCT116- IDH wt/R132H , but not HCT116, cells.

SCFAs concentrations remained largely consistent across regions, with only a slight trend observed for acetate.

In contrast, patients without CHX showed a slight trend toward worsening CPITN values, with no statistically significant differences over the same period.

Nevertheless, our data, with a slight trend for increasing cortisol from fall to winter, suggests that recent events may be contributing to the cortisol levels measured.

The techniques did not significantly affect the formation of overhangs (OR = 3.27, 95% CI; p = 0.177), although a slight trend favoring the R2T was observed ( Figure 5 D).

In contrast, COL1A1 expression was not significantly affected by meso-scale structural modification at any time point, although a slight trend toward increased expression was evident at day 7 for all modified surfaces compared with unmodified zirconia.
