The electrode potential used for each sample was determined as twice the minimal potential necessary to elicit the maximum observed CAP amplitude.
"I was underwhelmed to the maximum," observes Alex, understandably enough.
The time was measured from the arrival of the P wave and the amplitude was normalized to the maximum amplitude observed for the 15-s time window, starting 5 s prior to the arrival time of the P wave.
Specifically, if the mean amplitude of s oscillation (peak-nadir) exceeds a threshold value, 15 percentile value of the maximum amplitude observed in random un-coupled β cells, the cell is considered a burster.
The ratio of initial tsunami height or maximum amplitude observed at a coastal tidal station to that at the offshore site was found to be proportional to the fourth root of the ratio of the sea-bottom depths from the mean sea level at the offshore sites to the coastal station (Eqs. (6), (7); Fig. 3).
When the observed maximum amplitude is in velocity, we obtain the displacement by using the equation (A_{0} = a_{0} /2pi f).
Similar increases are evident in the observed maximum source amplitude ratios (Figs. 4b, 9b), but only up to around M w = 5.0.
For instance, the maximum tsunami amplitude observed at Sendai New Port station was approximately 1.7 m, which corresponds to the second cycle that arrived at approximately 120 min of tsunami propagation.
The derived regression lines are (6) and (7) where Ho,init and Ho,max are the initial tsunami height and the maximum tsunami amplitude observed at an offshore wave station, respectively, and Hc,init and Hc,max are the initial tsunami height and the maximum tsunami amplitude at the nearby coastal tidal station estimated by the regression function, respectively.
