To evaluate the activity dispersion in the tubing used, a step function study was conducted.
The second index (MII) measures the intensity of nitrogen used and the index is calculated using a step function.
The dispersion in the online sampling system was measured using a step function created with [18F]FDG and (R -[11C]verapamil.
Using a step function to describe wind speed over the DSP we showed that the turbulent fluxes were influenced by changes in snowpack height.
Recent studies have shown that a more rigorous treatment of the charge and permeability distributions within the soft layers using a step function or numerical solution can successfully depict the heterogeneity [21, 41].
Instead of using a step function to describe the displacement as in a classical Volterra dislocation, a better description is obtained by a Peierls dislocation for which the displacement is assumed to have an arctg like shape.
We used a step function for Lake of Tanis instead of a ramp function because we are interested in the transient behavior and the timing of this event.
As the mechanisms leading to mitochondrial pore formation and abrupt release of cytochrome c are not yet known in detail, the release is achieved in the model using a step function which is triggered at 90% activation of the Bax/Bak pool.
We applied 10 randomized chains using a step function of five for all three matrices.
To create this intensity function, we used a step function generated from hourly ED arrival rate data [ 29].
This controls for season using a step function rather than a smooth spline function (Barnett and Dobson 2010).
