1Shorter test durations are subsets of the full 70-d tests of the specified duration. Forward analyses begin at day 0 and reverse analyses begin at day 70.

2Forward-records were split into the first F7, F14, F21, F28, F35, F42, F49, F56, F63, and F70 d of the test and reverse-records were split into the last R7, R14, R21, R28, R35, R42, R49, R56, R63, and R70 d of the test.
