Company size was defined as small, medium-sized, and large, based on ranking by total revenue as reported in Scrip's Pharmaceutical Company League Tables 2008 [ 13].
The infarct size was defined as percentage of the total left ventricular myocardium (%LV).
Nodule size was defined as the largest diameter measured with electronic calipers on the CT images.
The within-patient effect size was defined as the within-patient change score (post-pre score) divided by pre (group) standard deviation.
The optimal window size was defined as that with a maximum value of E; values of E ranged from -29 to 0.963.
The photodegradation size was defined as (C/C o), where C o is the concentration of aqueous MB without irradiation after dark adsorption equilibrium, and C is the concentration of aqueous MB corresponding to a given light irradiation duration [27].
In order to obtain a higher amount of data for analysis, we applied a non-overlapping sliding window segmentation technique in which the window size was defined as 1000 samples, which was equivalent to a 4 s window length (this length corresponds to previous emotion classification work, as will be described in the following section).
Similar results were obtained when avalanche size was defined as the total number of peaks within each avalanche (not shown).
Similar results were obtained when the avalanche size was defined as the total number of events (peaks) within each avalanche (not shown).
The statistical avalanche analysis performed when the avalanche size was defined as the total number of events (peaks) within each avalanche give an even more ambiguous result.
The area at risk was defined as the ratio of the area of the ischemic region to the left ventricular area, and the infarct size was defined as the ratio of the area of the infarct region to that of the ischemic region.
