Abstract: | An integral equation analysis of generaln compartment steady state systems imbedded in static media of arbitrary complexity has been developed. A set of initial entry
functions can be found which serve to determine a corresponding set of partitioned initial entry functions. The partitioned
functions, in turn, can be used to predict the probabilities and time courses of various transport histories and to determine
all steady state rates of flow between measured compartments. The method is quite general, being completely applicable, for
example, to closed systems, to cyclic systems and to systems in which relatively rapid (but finite) exchange between compartments
occurs. |
