The cells were considered to move with a persistent random walk [31], [32] as immune cells has been found to walk in consistent directions on the short timescales (min), but exhibit random migration in the long term [33].
A 1-2‰ difference between the δ13C values was evident between the two leaves in each biochemical fraction, in a consistent direction (dwarf > tall).
Future research that addresses parallel changes in a number of different health behaviours in a consistent direction over time would begin to clarify this question.
The overall effect in the replication studies (stage 2 studies) was in a consistent direction but not significant (OR=1.06, 95% CI 0.98 to 1.16, p=0.16).
The observational data shows that in these low wind speed conditions, the wind blows in a consistent direction, for significant periods of time, and that truly calm conditions are very infrequent.
Protein spots exhibiting twofold or higher change in density (Student's t test, P < 0.05) in a consistent direction were considered to be different and selected for further identification.

Do the self-reported aggravating activities of people with chronic non-specific low back pain move the spine in a consistent direction?
