a

Simulations and data are compared in Fig. 1 to 3, respectively. 

b

Numbers in parentheses refer to sum-of-square errors in capillary accumulations between model simulations and the data (105 CFU2). 

c

Best-fit and standard deviations as determined by regression analysis. 

d

Mean and standard deviation of triplicate values calculated from the accumulations in the blank capillary. 

e

Error ranges are standard deviations of fitted values.
