The fault is about 4 km wide and 53 km long, NW trending (excluding a southernmost, 7 km long, E-W trending segment) with a normal fault mechanism.
A trend is excluded a priori because there is no theoretical reason for which interest rates should exhibit a deterministic time trend (see Hamilton 1994).
Therefore, we decided to focus on hospitals that provided data to the NICE registry for the whole period from 2005 to 2014 to investigate long-term trends and exclude a bias caused by differences in patient populations between participating hospitals.
Excluding never smokers, a trend test across the categories for smoking exposure displayed in the table, all yielded significant p values (all p trend's <0.001).
However, when patients with acute renal failure or vancomycin exposure within the 7 days prior to the first dose of study medication were excluded, there was a trend towards lower clinical cure rates (p = 0.04) and a greater number of deaths (p = 0.07) in the higher vancomycin trough groups (Table 2).
Although at odd with known evolutionary trends, one cannot exclude a priori the existence of such isolated free-living prokaryotes, which would need to continually reinvent the functions of discarded genes without long-term memory of previous evolutionary successes.

While it failed to reach statistical significance, quantification of the intensity of staining in the dermis (excluding hair follicles) revealed a trend for an increase in the amount of MMP-1 in wild-type UV-irradiated mice, which was not observed in GzmB-KO UV-irradiated mice (Fig. 4D).
In addition, our group previously reported a significant increase in serotype 19A carriage after PCV7 vaccinations in a study conducted in a randomized controlled setting (29 ), excluding secular trends and indicating a direct role of PCV7.
The chart excluded another trend line, part of the Congressional Budget Office's recent analysis of the bill, showing that the legislation would result in nearly $800 billion less spent on Medicaid over the coming decade than if the ACA stays in place.
