The thermodynamic parameters, that is, growth rate constant (k), the maximum thermal power (Pmax), the time to reach the maximum of the peak (tmax), and total heat dissipation (QT), were obtained by integrating the power-time curves in our previous paper (Supplementary Table S4) (Zheng et al., 2009). ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, respectively.
