: concentration at the surface, : ratio of the concentration at the surface () to the concentration in the bulk circulation ().Continuous variables were presented as median (range) except for shear stress. Shear stress was constant. Kruskall-Wallis test was used to test the differences among locations, P < .05 was the level of statistical significance, and Mann-Whitney U test with adjusted α was used to test the differences between each two locations (adjusted = 0.0083). Mann-Whitney U test was used to test the difference between speeds. P < .05 was the level of statistical significance. P < .0083 versus location 2. P < .0083 versus location 3. P < .0083 versus location 4. |
