Impairments in psychosocial functioning were quantified as the number of "yes" answers to the five questions.
The mass flow dependend response time of the system was specified to 19 s and an idealized step response to a quasi-Heaviside step function was quantified as a function of τLIA.
Systolic function was quantified using slopes (MW) and volume-intercepts (VW) of linear relationships between end-diastolic volume (EDV) and stroke work (SW) for data obtained during vena caval occlusion.
Systolic function was quantified by fractional shortening, FS = (LVIDd -LVIDs)/LVIDd.
Cell function was quantified through FITC-dextrane phagocytosis by cytometry.
Cardiac function was quantified using the ejection fraction obtained by the echocardiogram.
To this end, in vivo Th1-related immune function was quantified using oxazolone-induced CHS responses.
The extent of the oscillatory behaviour of the autocorrelation function was quantified using an oscillation strength metric adapted from [ 26].
Systolic function was quantified by LV end-systolic pressure (LVP, mmHg), dP /dt max (mmHg/s) and by ejection fraction (EF, %).
The number of myocytes that had regained their contractile function was quantified after 10 min of reperfusion.
