The percentage of macrophages within the tumor remains largely unchanged, with a slight trend downward, however this change was not statistically significant ( figure 4D, J ).

On the contrary, as shown in Figure 9 c, the sample (A-20) can only exhibit a slight trend of nonlinear conductive behavior, and it is not able to transform as conductor under extremely high applied voltage (3000 V).

Further stratification by dosing cycles revealed a slight trend towards increased CRS with RO max % following dose one (Cycle 1 Day 1), no trend following dose two (Cycle 1 Day 8), and an increased trend following dose three (Cycle 1 Day 15) towards the higher tested RO max % range.

26 The ECSA of the Ag/C catalysts showed a slight trend in the order Ag/C Ketjen > Ag/C Vulcan > Ag/C Super P , which can be explained with their increasing average particle size of 4.4 nm, 4.7 nm, and 5.3 nm (Fig.

The fixed protocols may have similar or better results than the PRN or T&E approaches, with a slight trend to overtreatment, albeit with fewer visits.

However, we observed a slight trend towards a higher rate of arterial cord blood pHs < 7, of arterial cord blood base deficit > 12 mEq/L, and non-invasive ventilation > 24 h (Table 5 ).

The model showed a slight trend where, with the increase in precipitation from one plot to another, the tree's D b increased (Table A5 ).

While we did detect a significant increase in knowledge among women in the intervention arm about the ideal birth weight of the baby, and a slight trend for increasing knowledge on this topic with longer exposure to mMitra, we did not observe a significant impact of mMitra on infant birth weight.

Nevertheless, we should point out that a slight trend was detected in the plot shown in Fig. 4 b indicating a sign of a small proportional bias ( \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$R^2$$\end{document} R 2 = 0.185) with SESC’s estimations along the ML axis.

Within the conditions in background noise, there was a significant effect of the sound level on the pattern of weights, which was mainly caused by a slight trend for increased weights at the end of the sounds (“recency effect”) in the condition with lower average level.

There was a slight trend for lower exposure in the upper arm and thigh compared with the abdomen.

However, the majority of participants in both groups rated the product as “quite satiating”, “very satiating”, or “extremely satiating”, with a slight trend toward higher values in the Taste group.

Rather, a slight trend toward constitutive self-association was observed among the point mutants ( Fig. 3 C).

We found no evidence for a difference in PPDs between ENDS users and non-smokers/former smokers (MD 0.32, 95% CI −0.27 to 0.92), although there was a slight trend towards higher PPDs in the ENDS group (Fig. 2A ).

A recent study showed that efavirenz concentrations remained therapeutic in adult patients receiving double-dosed rifampicin as part of their TB treatment, despite a slight trend towards lower efavirenz concentrations. 185 However, these findings cannot be extrapolated to children or other ARVs due to differences in enzyme activity and different metabolic pathways.

1 ), with a slight trend of Maxent to underpredict the potential distribution of Caspian whip snake in the northern part of the species’ range.

There was also a slight trend to decreased phosphorylation of exGluN2B at S1303 when normalized to GluN2B protein levels.

For the RPE/Bruch's membrane, there was a slight trend for the prediction boundary to be located below the ground truth positions, but again these values were small compared with the corresponding MAEs.
