QTCM Sample Figures (Version 2.2)

Version 2.0 Version 2.1 Version 2.2 Version 2.3 Observations
The following figures are similar to those found in Zeng et al, 2000; the difference being they were from experiments using QTCM1 version 2.2. The Zeng et al, 2000 figures can be found by clicking Version 2.1 above.
