106 INJURY, RECOVERY, AND DEATH 



But as has diminished to 0.917 times its original 

 value it can produce in 10.6 minutes only (1.45) (0.917) 

 = 1.33. By adding this to that obtained by formula (4) 

 we find the resistance after 10.6 minutes in sea water to 

 be 87.44 + 1.33 = 88.77. 



The recovery formula may therefore be expressed 

 as follows : 



Resistance = 



-K A T R -K M T R \ -KMTR 



e e t -\-Me 



(7) 



Using this formula, we may find the resistance at any 

 given time after replacement in sea water. A series of

values so obtained is given in Table VI. It will be seen 

 that they are in good agreement with the experimental 

 values. The calculated and observed values are also 

 plotted in Fig. 41, in which the abscissas represent the time 

 in the solution of NaCl plus the time of recovery in sea 

 water (in the case just discussed this would amount to 

 15.9+10.6=26.5 minutes).
