Accuracy of the formula established had been verified through laboratory calibration testing and model slope monitoring experiments.
Although there was a greater range in genotype-specific slopes describing the relationship between colony growth rate and initial size in the second experiment (slope range = −1.622 to −0.395, Table 1) than the first experiment (slope range = −1.002 to −0.487, Table 1), there was also twice the error around the slope for the second experiment (Table 1).
The slope of each experiment (for each phase) was highly correlated to the flow at that moment (Spearman correlation coefficient r = 0.55, p = 0.0005).
Secretion rate was calculated for each strain by averaging the slope of independent experiments and divided them by the control strain value (100%) at the corresponding temperature.
All competition radioligand binding curves displayed sigmoidal binding with the Hill slope for all experiments not significantly different from 1.0 (p<0.05), suggesting all compounds compete at one site with [3H]-Prazosin.
In practice, the neurological and psychological processes underlying the psychophysical function are assumed to remain stationary throughout estimations of threshold and slope in psychophysical experiments.
The first procedure assumed a stationary threshold and slope throughout the experiments, whereas the second procedure assumed that time can have a linear effect on the detection probability.
The subitizing, as well as the counting, slopes found in Experiment 2 of the present study are somewhat smaller than those reported in previous studies for numerosity judgment.
Finally, the cell death rate (rcd; equation 5), was calculated directly from the experimental data by determining, for each experiment, the slope of the biomass curve as it declined and calculating an average value of the slope based on all experiments.
Featuring guest vocalists who include his brother and long-time collaborator David Sylvian, and the delightful Nina Kinert, Slope is an extended experiment in forms: electronic minimalism, blues, jazz, even pop.
