“a weak trend”

A weak trend of a decrease in Cy5 fluorescence was observed, but all detected differences were not statistically significant.

There might be a weak trend towards lower clustering rates for lower sampling rates, this was similar for all thresholds, and it was mostly visible for R0 values between 0.8 and 1 ( Appendix 5—figures 1 – 8 , Appendix 5—Tables 1–8 ).

4.3 Percentage of salmon‐derived nitrogen incorporated Salmon‐derived nitrogen appeared to have no effect on spider C:N ratio or body condition, but we did observe a weak trend in ants with higher C:N ratios associated with more salmon‐derived nitrogen.

While there was a weak trend of decreasing stability as the compound size and number of sulfonyl groups increased, there were many exceptions.

Plant species composition did only show a weak trend towards differences among the urbanisation classes, while species composition of the predaceous spiders significantly shifted with increasing degree of urbanisation.

Two previous studies found a weak trend that female patients with ALS had higher frequency of PLC than male patients ( 21 , 22 ).

The width of the curve has become slightly narrower since 2010, indicating that the regional differences exhibit a weak trend of narrowing.

Compared to the WFR, the questionnaires had a larger underestimation, larger variance, and a weak trend of decreasing accuracy with increasing intakes.

Cers1 knockdown in differentiating mouse muscle cells showed only a weak trend to reduce mTORC1 and its downstream targets (new Fig S4A).

While a weak trend is apparent for faster genes to have higher utility (ca. 40% increase in utility with a fourfold increase in rate), it is obvious that variability in the results is much greater and likely reflects intrinsic differences not captured by their average nonsynonymous rate.

This might be supported by a weak trend in the expected direction for SFB 84 .

The influence of friends was not as strong as might be expected at these lifestages, and was not consistent across age, gender or modality, although there was a weak trend supporting the hypothesis that the influence of friends would be stronger in adolescence, as this influence does drop off somewhat in early adulthood.

No significant correlation with the phosphorylated forms of Fra-1 and Fra-2 was found, except a weak trend for a higher phosphorylated Fra-1 band intensity in tumours with absent/weak p-ERK1 expression ( Table 1 ).

There was a weak trend towards a decrease in the wall preference index during geomagnetic disturbances.

The mean value of the anti- α Gal IgG level in patients with fibrosis was increased ( Figure 1 ), but we observed only a weak trend to the higher level of anti- α Gal Abs in fibrosis.

For the perennials, a weak trend of increase in richness existed in the old field, but no consistent pattern was found in the steppe ( Fig.

Moreover, HT demonstrated a weak trend ( r 2 = .12) of increasing SDF-1 expression with an increase in penumbra size in HT pups ( Figure 6 ).

In radish, the direction of these changes is generally similar, but expressed as a weak trend.

We observed a weak trend whereby longer transcripts are better enriched (Fig. 4b and Supplementary Fig. 4c ).

We compared the quantitative diploid data across the three quantitative traits (flocculation, invasion, adhesion) with the complex colony morphology scores and observed a weak trend of increasing colony morphology associated with increased invasion ( Figure 6B ), similar to the haploids.

At Site 3, the expression of PSII core genes PsbD, PsbC , and PsbB increased in August 2022, while the increase in PsbA showed a weak trend toward October 2022 and August 2023.

The p -value did not reach statistical significance, although a weak trend can be observed.

In general, however, a weak trend toward a decrease in depression severity with increasing activity can be seen in the Polish group.

While we did find a weak trend of reduced admixture in gene-rich regions, this is difficult to interpret because the recombination rate is also lower in gene-rich regions in these species.

NeuroGaze ( M = 3.2) did not differ from either Eye Gaze + Hand Gesture ( p = 0.129) or VR Controllers ( p = 0.840); however, Eye Gaze + Hand Gesture appeared slightly more demanding than VR Controllers ( p = 0.028), representing a weak trend.
