Open probability (Po) was determined as the fraction of digitized points above a threshold set midway between the closed and open peaks of current-amplitude histograms.
Single-channel current amplitudes were measured from the middle of the noise band between closed and open states or calculated from the difference between Gaussian-fitted closed and open peaks on all-points amplitude histograms for each excised patch record.
Flexural behaviors such as flexural strength, deflection, and crack mouth opening displacement at peak load had pseudo-linear relationships with the fiber content.
When many primate females from chimpanzees to types of baboons called mandrills become fertile, their estrogen levels peak, opening up their blood vessels and turning their faces bright red.
