double PropagationPropertiesCalculator::CalculateMaximumUpstrokeVelocity ( unsigned  globalNodeIndex  ) 

Calculate the maximum upstroke velocity at a single cell. We calculate for the last upstroke found in the simulation data.

Parameters:
globalNodeIndex The cell at which to calculate.
Todo:
the following helper method, when used, causes seg faults. Mend it and use to reduce repeated code.

std::vector< double > PropagationPropertiesCalculator::CalculateAllMaximumUpstrokeVelocities ( unsigned  globalNodeIndex,
double  threshold 
)

Calculate the maximum upstroke velocity at a single cell. We return all the max upstroke velocities for all APs.

Parameters:
globalNodeIndex The cell at which to calculate.
threshold The voltage threshold (we use this for marking the end of an AP)

std::vector< double > PropagationPropertiesCalculator::CalculateUpstrokeTimes ( unsigned  globalNodeIndex,
double  threshold 
)

Calculate the times of upstroke at a single cell. We return all the times of upstroke velocities for all APs.

Parameters:
globalNodeIndex The cell at which to calculate.
threshold The voltage threshold for APD calculation (we count this as the start of an AP)

double PropagationPropertiesCalculator::CalculateConductionVelocity ( unsigned  globalNearNodeIndex,
unsigned  globalFarNodeIndex,
const double  euclideanDistance 
)

Calculate the conduction velocity between two cells, i.e. the time taken for an AP to propagate from one to the other. It returns the value of conduction velocity of the LAST action potential that reached both nodes. Throws exceptions if an AP never reached one of the nodes.

Parameters:
globalNearNodeIndex The cell to measure from.
globalFarNodeIndex The cell to measure to.
euclideanDistance The distance the AP travels between the cells, along the tissue.

std::vector< double > PropagationPropertiesCalculator::CalculateAllConductionVelocities ( unsigned  globalNearNodeIndex,
unsigned  globalFarNodeIndex,
const double  euclideanDistance 
)

Calculate all the conduction velocities between two cells, i.e. the time taken for all APs to propagate from one to the other. It returns a vector containing all the conduction velocities for each of the APs that reached the two nodes (only the APs that reached both nodes). Throws exceptions if an AP never reached one of the nodes.

Parameters:
globalNearNodeIndex The cell to measure from.
globalFarNodeIndex The cell to measure to.
euclideanDistance The distance the AP travels between the cells, along the tissue.

double PropagationPropertiesCalculator::CalculateActionPotentialDuration ( const double  percentage,
unsigned  globalNodeIndex 
)

Calculate the action potential duration at a single cell. We calculate for the last AP found in the simulation data.

Parameters:
percentage The percentage of the amplitude to calculate for.
globalNodeIndex The cell at which to calculate.
