“an apparent trend”

Nor was there an apparent trend between mating system (hermaphroditic or gonochoristic) and gene copy number.

This approach moves the focus from an observation of an apparent trend across several age-cohorts towards one immediately centred on the youngest age cohort with seroprevalence close to 100%.

Although not statistically significant, there was an apparent trend whereby private for-profit facilities were more likely to allow individually owned animals; no other demographic variables appeared to relate.

There is an apparent trend for + / + tumours to 'lose' receptor with time.

Also, an apparent trend to grouping by aglycones exists, more evident in derivatives from hesperetin, limocitrin, apigenin, eriodictyol and quercetin.

In our study, patients showed altered values for most clinical and biochemical parameters at ICU admission, and changes with an apparent trend towards normalized values (i.e., BR, PaO 2 /FiO 2 , fibrinogen) were observed after 3 days.

Unlike the first field season, mean TL did not show an apparent trend among sites (Table 4 ).

Although there was an apparent trend toward moderate blunting of insulin-induced hypoglycemia in the knockin animals, the difference was not statistically significant compared to the wild-type mice ( Figure S3 ).

Notably, an apparent trend of under-representation of females with ASD in FC studies of fMRI can be seen [ 4 ].

Moreover, a similar pattern of the KM survival curve was observed among patients with LGG ( Figures 5B, E ) and GBM ( Figures 5C, F ), though no statistical significance was detected in GBM of the CGGA cohort ( p = 0.18), which also showed an apparent trend ( Figure 5C ).

Numerous studies have linked temperature and climate warming with changes in body size across taxa, with an apparent trend that warmer conditions tend to favour smaller organisms (Atkinson 1994 ; Daufresne et al . 2009 ; Sheridan & Bickford 2011 ; Yom-Tov et al . 2010 ; Gardner et al . 2009 ; Tarone et al . 2011 ; Stelzer 2002 ; Atkinson et al . 2003 ).

Finally, we did not address the analysis of the main parameters of skeletal muscle atrophy such as the E3 ubiquitin ligases MuRF1 and MAFbx/atrogin-1 [ 39 , 40 , 41 ] in this study, because an apparent trend of muscle atrophy, such as the decline of the muscle/body mass index, could not be detected in three groups during a current experimental period.

For the tooth-specific caries experience, an apparent trend was observed for the teeth with high DMFT but was not statistically significant ( Figure 2 e).

Furthermore, the release of NAG contained in azurophilic granules was also significantly decreased after 60 min of stimulation ( Figure 3B ), which is consistent with our flow cytometry data ( Figure 3A ), while the release of MMP-9 from gelatinase granules remained unaltered despite an apparent trend ( Figure 3D ).

Importantly, this review highlights an apparent trend of increased Cu sensitivity among unicellular strains compared to filamentous ones.

While there was an apparent trend for increasing OPN secretion with increasing SF content in the films, differences in OPN levels between substrates were not statistically significant.

Percent of senescing leaves was not significantly different, but an apparent trend of more advanced senescence in WT as compared to transgenics was evident ( Figure 5 ).

Consequently, we found an apparent trend towards an astigmatic shift in the direction of the scleral flap creation, not only in the right eye group (axis 64°) but also in the left eye group (axis 117°).

The influence of MPs concentration became even more evident after analyzing all experimental data, as an apparent trend of the inhibition increase with the increase in the concentration existed for all five applied MPs ( Table 1 ).

In addition, when patients were subclassified with respect to IDH mutation status, IDH wildtype was found to be more associated with an increased pattern of BDKRB2 expression in both datasets, except for the subgroup of WHO grade II in CGGA dataset, which also exhibited an apparent trend ( Figure 1B , 1F ).

Smart sensors : Driven by the pervasive practical user scenarios and power-efficient data processing techniques, as well as the chip manufacturing technology, there is an apparent trend that sensors are becoming smarter with the ability to process the signal data locally.

An apparent trend of greater referral accuracy for older patients was observed, but this was not found to be statistically significant.

An apparent trend that k almost continuously decreases is observed in the plot, which may imply the decay of the dependence of countries’ export strategies on the global market.

Despite the short treatment duration of the current study, there was a reduction in body weight in all groups studied, including placebo, with an apparent trend towards greater weight loss in the 20/30- and 20/40-mg groups.

Resources: nursing assistants at risk Our findings reveal an apparent trend indicating that nursing assistants encounter a distinct shortage of resources.
