In each case, the linear regression fits gave slopes for EP96B1 and EP96B2 that agreed within one standard deviation. The slopes for EP96B1 and EP96B2 differed at most by 15%, a difference we attribute to measurement errors. This 15% difference is the basis for lower limit calculated for the residence time of these properties.
