Parameters obtained by fitting the modified Elashoff's model to the digesta emptying rate in Fig. 9 for different amplitudes of ACWs (δ). Here is the predicted amount of digesta that would empty per cycle at the steady state, α is the time constant of emptying, and β is the initial delay in emptying.
