  1. Details of regression analyses of Figure 4. Regression curves were fitted following a first order exponential decay model y = y0 + ae(-x/t), where y0 = Y offset, a = amplitude, t = exponential time constant. The Goodness-of-fit to the non-linear model is indicated by values of R2 close to 1.00.
