The standard deviation parameter was estimated for each ∆R/R using calcium amplitudes less than 5% ∆R/R, corresponding to the average amplitude for single spike detection of YC2.60.
However, without the neurotransmitter loop but with a fixed neurotransmitter mean field level, corresponding to the average level for the four-dimensional single-cell core oscillator, 44 parameter sets showed a stable fixed point with imaginary eigenvalues, corresponding to damped (not self-sustained) oscillations (See Additional file 3: Supplementary Table S1).
However, for a fixed Peclet number, the average Sherwood number is decreasing as the viscosity ratio increases and reaches a limit value corresponding to the average Sherwood number for a solid spherical particle.
Control experiment samples were collected from subjects at time points corresponding to the average collection time for the alcohol group: T1 was taken prior to drinking 125 mL of orange juice (OJ), T2 at 90 minutes; T3 at 2 hours, 49 minutes; T4 at 5 hours, 8 minutes; and T5 at 7 hours, 8 minutes.
To provide a fair comparison, the 'sp' trace was computed the same way, after substituting the ΔF/F signal of all the stimulus-evoked calcium events in a given dendrite with the normalized ΔF/F signal corresponding to the average spontaneous calcium event for that dendrite.
Microdialysates from each control patient (one patient with two catheters) were analysed for VGB, GABA and other amino acids by HPLC over a representative 48 h period beginning 2 days after commencement of microdialysis, corresponding to the average day of first dose for the VGB patients.
For comparability, control subjects were assigned a reference date corresponding to the average time from diagnosis to interview for the case group (about 1 year).
As evident from the individual distributions, the most informative features tend to cluster in positions 7 9 nucleotides before the start position of the mature miRNA for 3' samples and after the 22nd nucleotide (corresponding to the average end position) of the mature miRNA for 5' samples.
Sequences were grouped into 79 operational taxonomic units (OTUs, Table S2), using a 98% sequence identity cut-off level consistent with our previous work [27] and corresponding to the average similarity threshold at the species level for eukaryotic microbes [28].
Each VOI had a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 7.5 mm and a depth of 18 mm corresponding to the average volume of suture anchors currently used for RC repair [ 10].
