Note that the sensitivity is slightly depending on the coupling capacitance which in our computations is set to be 10 pF. Figure 7 Behavior of resonance amplitude versus salinity at lowest resonance frequency.
A description of the software suite developed to perform all our computations is finally presented in section Methods.
Our computations were conducted on the free software environment R for statistical computing and graphics [33] in the version 2.5.1.
Our computations were all made on uniform grids, and our conclusions cannot be directly carried over to, for example, curvilinear grids.
In the case of square plates, our computations are in good agreement with the analytical approaches and numerical results of the literature.
Optical constants of chlorophyll a used for our computations were extracted from Sauer (1965), Houssier and Sauer (1970), and Aas (1996) and adjusted for the chlorophyll concentration typical of cyanobacteria, 5*10−4 mol/L (Satoh et al., 2001).
Unfortunately, manual evaluation is very work-intensive and, hence, infeasible for the two large-scale datasets considered here; furthermore, it only tests whether our computations are in agreement or disagreement with what MS experts believe, but not necessarily the ground truth.
Our computations are based on a three-step approach.
Our computations were based on the assumption that the AUCs obtained in the randomization test are normally distributed.
