If the potential is bounded from below, meaning there is a minimum value of potential energy, the eigen-functions of the Schrödinger equation have energy, which is also bounded from below.
Further, the expression of FLO11 decreased steeply for the concentration of ammonium sulphate below 25 µM and reached a minimum value.
The latter should be used to define a minimum value below which a study would be excluded from the analysis; the former can then be used to rank studies into three quality groups as a means of assessing heterogeneity between studies.
We fix a minimum value (10−4) below which βM and βF cannot fall since negative transmission rates are not allowed in the model.
In comparison, in the placebo group, two of 20 values were below the reference value after 4 weeks treatment, with a minimum value of 68 mg/dl.
The N2 leakage flux has remained below the detection limit of the equipment, 5 μL cm−2 min−1, resulting in a minimum value for the H2/N2 permselectivity of 39.000 applying the pure H2 flux value obtained at 5 bars.
Note that in practice, we do not allow the value in Equation 22 to go below a specified minimum value.
The forces are calculated as averages, and values are discarded when the determinant of the accelerance matrix falls below a set minimum value.
For downstream processing the Heaviside step function Θ is applied to identify those distances of phase space trajectory points that fall below a predefined minimum value ε.
