The single-hit probability is equal to 1 minus the sum of the other probabilities because after the photoactivation treatment, the first eigenvalue was always very close to 1.
a
N.Q., Not quantifiable. The constants C5 and C6 in Equation 1 were so small that the estimated importance of the second cycle was less than 0.5% of the O2 yields, and therefore the 5th and 6th eigenvalues were ill determined.
