(B) Colonies of identical size where the handling time (R,) is much greater than filtration time (R2) and vice versa. The ordinates for both graphs are normalized for the effects of colony size. Note that if R: becomes much larger than R,, the particle flux drops, then the filling curve tends toward a step function. Since particle flux is low, each passing particle is caught, and the model de- composes to the "linear" model of Figure Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ); Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ).
