Data was taken from Mowry 1, Table 1. Most correlations (R2) are nonlinear. The coefficients of correlation are for curves that best fit the data: log Q vs Sum wt fits an exponential curve; log Q vs time fits a power curve; Sum wt vs time fits an exponential curve; Product AMW vs time fits a logarithmic curve.
