Even though net entropy increases over time in a thermally isolated system, local regions of reduced entropy (e.g., complexity) can develop spontaneously in open subsystems as long as there is a greater decrease in entropy (decrease in complexity) in another interlocking part of the system.
With the exception of parathyroid hormone (PTH), in which there is a greater decrease in PTH with exemestane than with anastrozole (P = 0.04), there were no statistically significant differences between the AIs [ 39].
In Th17 cells missing STAT3, for example, there is a greater decrease in expression of genes associated with SEs than CEs (Additional file 1: Figure S1E, p-value ≤ 0.02, Students t-test).
The SR had a very high contribution in the third 50 m lap (32.1%); concomitant with this, there was a great decrease in the contribution of the other biomechanical factors (6.7% for IVV x, 1.3% for IVV y, and 2.0% for η p ), with the IVV y and R factors increasing afterwards (5.4%and6.4%4%, resp).
Analysis of the cell cycle distributions showed that there was a great decrease in G1 phase and a dramatic increase in S phase for BAPTA-AM→A23187-treated group cells, suggesting that BAPTA-AM may render more sensitivity to VP-16 through the change of distribution of cell cycle in NCI-H446 cell.
However, N deficiency was probably not the primary factor limiting CO2 assimilation, because there was a greater decrease in CO2 assimilation than in sugars content.
The results indicate that there was a greater decrease in task performance due to thermal discomfort when feedback was given, compared to the performance of tasks presented without feedback.
There was a greater decrease in pain tolerance during task in the CTH-S group compared to the CTH-N group F 1,44) = 27.03, P < 0.01, and a greater decrease in the CNT compared to CTH-N group F 1,46) = 11.23, P < 0.01.
Consistent with the results of the growth study, when U2OS cells were pretreated with Compound A prior to the addition of doxorubicin there was a greater decrease in cell number compared to cells treated with doxorubicin alone (Figure 3B).
If the cells were pretreated with high glucose, there was a greater decrease in the phosphorylation of these survival factors.
