Abstract

represented by a single equivalent granular SSL. The root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) value, which measures thescatter of the data points about the trend line, is 0.028, andthis is a very small value.The reliability of the improved eqs. [R2] and [R3] wasfurther examined by repeating the above synthesis for allother data sets. Thus, a new set of (
