  1. arate constants were calculated based on the model estimates shown in Table 3 as follows: K1 = Qin/Vc(Vc/Vbr1+2), k2 = Qout/Vbr1, k3 = Qbr/Vbr1 and k4 = Qbr/Vbr2.
  2. The population model is shown in Figure 3. The reader is referred to Gunn, et al. (2001) for a description of the 1T2k and 2T4k models and to Logan, et al. (1990) for a description of the Logan analysis.
