Details

Equation:

rT = phi * ((\frac{(T-Tb)^{2}}{(T-Tb)^{2} + aa^{2}}) - e^{-\frac{Tmax - (T-Tb)}{deltaT}})

where rT is the development rate, T the temperature, Tb the minimum temperature for development, deltaT the width of high temperature boundary area, Tmax the maximum temperature, and aa a constant.
